The mountains are beautiful right now. As I drive north towards my house, there's a tapestry of colors covering the foothills and mountains. The trees are starting to turn in the valley and I'm really enjoying looking at all the beautiful colors where I live even if I'm not loving the cool temperatures. I think we skipped the 70's and 80's completely this year and went straight to the 50's and 60's.
My daughter and son recently competed in Region cross country races. My daughter took first for the Varsity girls from her high school and the team qualified for state which she was really happy about. My son was happy to finish the race and be done with the cross country season which he did not really enjoy.
I had a really cool experience recently. My son is serving a mission in a country that I'm not going to name since I'm not supposed to say anything on social media due to strict privacy laws in eastern Europe.
Here's what happened: I took my daughters to the mall to do some shopping (which we rarely do) and while we were milling around, a salesgirl asked a young woman there where she had gotten her watch. The young woman said the name of the country where my son is. My little girls heard her and said, "That's where our brother is on a mission!" So she asked the name of their brother and it turned out not only did she know him but she had served in the same area and he had been her district leader! It was so fun to talk to her. I hadn't had a chance to talk to any missionaries that have served with my son until then. I smiled about that the rest of the weekend.
