After 8 weeks of no rain that is  NEWS! The grass has gotten greener and flowers and all are trying to perk up after all the sunshine and no rain.  

Kent flew to Phoenix, AZ on Monday to kick off the mission trips that he has been working on for the students of SouthWestern College.  He had lunch with the president and has met with several others. So he has felt that the kick off went well. We are expected to stay on campus again and that is a nice idea. So the trip has been a success.

He flies back on Saturday and we hope to go and see his parents again in Bellingham.  That is at least 7 hours away so we haven’t the the trip as often as we had thought we might.  But we would like to go and help around the farm again. We are still ironing out the details.

I got to go to a beautiful local park here in Spokane.  I love flowers and they had several areas with different types of flowers and bushes.  The one main part reminded me of a park called Mozart Park that we saw in Austria.  Very beautiful and full of color. Nice day out with our hostess and her daughter and children. Afterwards we had a Turkish meal at her daughter’s house.  Very delicious too.

Today on my way to the local library, I stopped to buy some local peaches from a man who advertised along the road. The peaches look wonderful but the conversation with the man was even better. I first was admiring his flowers and lawn,  after that we got to talking about our RV lifestyle a little because he and his wife would like to downsize.  When I said that Kent still worked full time the conversation went  from that to what we do and to spiritual things.  He was a believer and we talked about world missions until another customer came.   Sometimes in this lifestyle I become discouraged about not having any friends and then God blesses me with people like this.  So two ways that God has blessed me just lately, a visit to a beautiful garden and a believer that was willing to talk and share a bit.  

May God use you also to encourage someone.
