Redlands and Vancouver

Redlands:

Sister Heidi Bonham is loving Palm Springs. The weather is cooling down from 122 degrees to 113 degrees. Yay!

Heidi was the driver, which she loved, but one sister went home for medical reasons, so there are now three sisters together and Heidi, being the newbie, decided to sit in the back seat. No matter, she loves her companions and is enjoying her time with them!

She met the brand new mission president for Redlands and she said he is awesome!

Exciting for me is that she has met several Sicilian people (my mother was full Sicilian) and they love her! The first woman she met reminded her of my mother and then she found out she was full Sicilian. She wants to feed Heidi spaghetti. Ahhh... A taste of home.

Heidi's love for the Savior has grown, even in such a short time. Being able to devote hours a day to study of the scriptures, prayer to Heavenly Father, service to His children, and doing the work of the Lord brings the blessings of Heaven. She is awesome!

Vancouver:

Sister Kelli Bonham has been in Vancouver for a little over a week.  She is loving it! She has a great companion and brand new mission president.They got a new car with 18.5 miles on it. I have never seen that before. She misses us and she said she does her mission during the day and dreams of us at night. Sweet girl!

Kelli is in the Forest Landing Ward, which is my neighbor's sister's ward and another neighbor's son and daughter-in-law's ward. Small world! She said the ward has been GREAT!

Kelli has had a cold this week, but she is feeling better. She and her companion live in a member's home and looking out the back window of the house, she can see Mount St. Helen's from afar! Beautiful!

A friend of mine from high school, who lives up that way, told me that Kelli will see 'the glory of God' in this beautiful place...in many ways. Wonderful!

Kelli hasn't sent any pictures yet, so I hope we get some on Monday.

Hearing from these girls brings us great joy!
