First Visit to Santa Rosa!!

 

View of Clearlake as we drove in search of a new apartment for the Elders there.

Prior to looking at their apartment in Benicia we took them to lunch

Abandoned items in the closet in the Benicia apartment.  As mentioned earlier, the missionaries abandon items as they transfer from one apartment to another and when they go home.  We are trying to teach them to simply donate or throw things away.

Today and yesterday we enjoyed General Conference at our apartment in Santa Rosa.  It was wonderful to lay around in pajamas for a couple of days watching conference and listening to inspired talks.  We loved all the talks and felt the spirit.  

This evening we attended a baptism in Petaluma at the Spanish Branch there.  It was a wonderful program and Elder Cawley got to practice his Spanish a bit while Sister Cawley simply enjoyed the spirit.  President and Sister Quinn attended along with several other missionary companionships.  We always love being with the young missionaries.

Meanwhile....our granddaughter, Robyn, back home in Utah
