A nice home on the street we worked.
Another one. Almost every home and yard in our territory was gorgeous.
"The girls"
Sandy, UT. View from Little Cottonwood Canyon (coming down the mountain from the Ski Resorts).

 

Shannon Brady got a snowball and brought it back to the house and put in the freezer after passing it around so everyone could touch the Utah snow souvenir. Next day Evelyn gets a glass of juice and puts this "piece of ice" she found in the freezer in her drink. Oops! (Don't worry, Shannon recovered it) I don't think the snowball will make it back to El Cajon, though.

Nice river coming down from the mountains
Sounds soo nice
Shonna places four Teach books this morning.
Only 2 for John. But, beautiful day!

After service we go to La Caille,  winery/restaurant in gorgeous paradisiacal surroundings. Geese, peacocks, bunnies, roosters roam the area. A river and stream run through the property.
Flowers everywhere.
I've got a spot for our house close by here. Almost like being in the Paradise! One young sister enjoyed it here so much she didn't want to go back to our house.
See Treena for video of this swan.
A "one-hole" golf course next to the vineyards.
Back at our house, Kaleah  putting in the last piece of our puzzle.
Our last day in service. Sue and Tonya.
Why is everyone so happy in service? Maybe because Jehovah is the "happy God"? And.. people here listen. You can actually have many Bible discussions. Is Tad leading a safari?
John captures a wild leopard.
