MAY IN VISALIA

 This is the Three Rivers area which is about 40 miles East of Visalia up in the mountains.  It's a good thing we had GPS.  You could hardly see the houses from the road, this one below is zoomed in.  They have trees all around them.  This one even has a swimming pool in the back.  They're  friendly if they see a neighbor as they leave the house but they like it this way.

 The Three Rivers Lake is what this is called because 3 rivers flow into it.  They love boating and it's been hot enough to ski and swim.  The water level is way down so they're praying for water.

 Another surprise from our 1st Elder that carried our bags up 3 flights of stairs in Ukraine with his beautiful wife Laura and baby boy Max.  Matthew has seen us on all 3 missions now.  He's vacationing after graduating from BYU and in a month he will go to Denver, Co.  He joined the Air Force and will start Medical School.  Laura served a mission in Russia, Matthew in Ukraine but they both speak Russia.  She is an R.N.  They only stayed over night and went with us to Sacrament mt. but we had a great visit.
