Santa Clara Mission


Home isolation continues in Southern Utah.  Covid 19 creates an unusual 
phase in our missionary service.  Life is practically normal yet we spend 
most of the day completing mission responsibilities and finding 
blessings in the small and simple things.


     Morning walks with these fine partners keeps me fit and moving my muscles.

     The mental benefits of walking surpass the physical thanks to Julie (Therapy) 
     and Angie (Sanity).  We maintain an appropriate social distance.



 Our beautiful daffodils



 The peach blossoms were stunning this year.



 We enjoyed our visit with Konrad in March – Paul especially had a good time 
with his older (not taller) brother.




 
Rick and his 91 year old mother, Ramona

 We united with these wonderful people for our General Conference dinner.  
Paul and Diana prepared home-made tamales!   Buon appetito!!




           Deviled eggs – It must be springtime in Dixie!






 Ryan (returning from the Kenya Nairobi mission), Lindsay, and Debbie Hafen 
made a safe distance visit to our front porch prior to their return to 
highly infected Detroit.




Visiting with Lyndsey Bringhurst, former piano student and future 
missionary, was a Relief Society highlight!
