Saturday is our preparation day and our new thing is to go on the Saturday hike up Sunrise Mountain (which is really a hill) with friends in the church. Last Saturday we hiked up the Mountain with our Assistants and the Matsen's. Sister Matsen was a powerhouse and it was all I could do to keep up with her. She even did all the talking as we trudged up the mountain. We found a mother owl sitting on her nest, nestled in the Saguaro cactus. The desert is blossoming in the spring and it is a different kind of beauty. After our hike our assistants challenged us to a tennis game. It was fun to swing the racket again and find I still could play. It was the first time I have played since I have been on the mission.
President likes to stick by Elder Matsen as he is a fountain of knowledge of the desert plants.

Hello Pres & Sister Beck-it was so good to talk to you for a few minutes while we were there visiting Callie and Brian and reconnect! Unfortunately I misplaced your email address! I would love to keep in touch! It is fun to read about your mission. What a wonderful experience! I will be coming again when Callie has her baby in Oct. Drop me a line with your email if you have time. claudiashirley6@gmail.com
