We visited the Jackson Branch and enjoyed the sweet testimony of the Primary Children. It doesn’t matter the size of the Primary, the songs they sing and the thoughts they share always bear testimony to all.

Sign that Fall has begun

DSCN2666

I was told that Fall is starting when the Spider Lilies appear. I was walking one day and in a neighbors yard I saw them. According to the internet, they appear, grow to 18” and bloom all in about a week. Because of this they are called “surprise lilies”. Their foliage will start to appear later in October.

Monroe Stake Conference and a Trip To Texas

2009 July Monroe Stake Center - Conference Ctr in backDSCN2659DSCN2658DSCN2663

We spent the weekend in Monroe for Stake Conference with Elder Stephen D. Posey and his wife. Our testimonies were strengthened as we met with and shared testimony with Elder Posey, the members and those learning more about our church. On Monday we traveled to Texarkana to meet with some of our Elders, along the way we saw some cotton that had just been harvested and of course some oil wells. The purple and pink flowers in Monroe were beautiful and I couldn’t resist a photo of them.
