May 4th, 2013- We are so very happy. We get an opportunity to travel back up to Bathurst, New Brunswick. We visited there last August and so wanted an opportunity to visit with this wonderful branch of Saints. We are grateful and overjoyed when we see them come to the temple. This time we are going up with the Halifax Mission Traveling Musicians!!!!!. We have got to participate in a few other of their performances and look forward to 2 days in Bathurst.
 From my Facebook post:
Traveling to Bathurst, New Brunswick today. The missionaries are doing a civic program tonight, and also will be in the Sacrament Meeting. 4 1/2 hour drive for us, but forecast is for a lovely day. We have visited this lovely branch of that mostly speak French before and are looking forward to worshiping with them again. May God be with you all till then (home late Sunday).

This is just pictures of the trip up.

Something I have noticed throughout Atlantic Canada- as you travel. Lots of trees and then there is a white church built right beside the highway. Different denominations. Usually a graveyard there also. But very unique white churches

Oh yes,  and  there are the frequent signs about the moose- we have yet to see one near the highways-but I'm told be grateful that we haven't encountered one while driving.

This church is about 5 miles further down the road.

Going over a lovely bridge in Miramichi, New Brunswick

Spring has not come to all the trees yet! But it will be soon. But the stark contrast between the lush green evergreen trees and the stark white of the bare trees got me thinking..... What is the condition of our spirits- are they bare and in need of growth or lush and lovely from constant spiritual growth and learning.
