We waited for Summer—now WHERE HAS IT GONE??

The months of June and July have gone by so quickly and now I play “catch-up”! Lots of things happened in the Merry Month of May,  like “National Donut Day”— which we celebrated with  Brad and Cassi and their Family. “WHO DOESN’T WANT AN EXCUSE TO EAT A YUMMY DONUT— WHO??” And Coaches Mumford and Mumford were hurriedly trying to finish up the Spring Baseball season :Elder “Papa Ron” helped at the games and tried to help some distracted 6- yr olds the Basics and “How to keep your Head (and Body) in the Game. It was fun to go and cheer them on. Will also played on another team and had some pretty good BATS. And lots of things have happened. Let’s do a little “rundown” of some highlights (of what I can remember).

He and Sister LaVonda.Johnson were our Zone Leaders at the Church History; Library in Collections and we loved serving with them!  Now when they left on June 20th 2019– it was truly a SAD SAD DAY!
