Senior Couples Temple Excursion

Good bye and Good Luck to the Carpenters from Denver Colorado. They were evicted from the old Convent building the church bought 4 years ago. Last Friday, they had 3 hours to be out of there and make it look like no one had been living there. What good sports in this great adventure they have had.
Hello and Welcome to the Evan's from Layton Utah, they will be serving in the Mission office taking the Unsworth's place.
The Old Bear Lodge built in 1916



Notice the wake behind this Goose, it was really moving.

Our get together with the Senior Couples began Friday about 3:30 pm, as we traveled to the mission home. Sister Searle had invited us to spend the night at the mission home before going on to the temple on Saturday. What a treat to share dinner on Friday with the Searles. We so appreciate their generosity and kindness. We traveled with them to the temple Saturday morning. It is always a sacred experience to be in the Lord's house with those you admire and love. It was fun to say hello to our temple family we served with while we had the opportunity while in the Bronx. After the temple session we all gathered next door to the church building for a potluck lunch hello, fairwell to in coming and out going missionaries. We are so blessed to be on the same team as so many talented missionaries. We love you all.

After riding back to the Mission Home we picked up our car and head back to Monticello. Thought we would enjoy the ride over Bear Mountain and came across the State Park there over looking the Hudson River. Stopped to go for a stroll around the resivoir and take a few pictures. We were the only ones there in dress clothes and I am sure we were quite on odditiy as the place was very crowded on a beautiful Saturday early evening. There were many enjoying fishing, swimming, paddle boating, bar-b-que-ing, vollyball, frisbrey, soccer, people watching, etc. It is a very beautiful recreation area. A huge lodge that was built in 1916 that was being renovated. The perfect place for a family reunion.
