On Sunday, July 25, we enjoyed a visit with Brenda & Kerry Beyeler, who drove from their home in Salmon, Idaho. Brenda (Reed) is one of Linda's life-long friends. They grew up together in the old 4th Ward in Mesa. Their father's worked in the building trade together and served in the ward bishopric together, so their families were very close. They have corresponded over the years, but haven't seen each other for at least 10 years. So, it was very nice to see and visit with them for a few moments.

After introducing them to Jeffery, Kristi and family we took a drive with them to the nearby town of UCon, to the home of Kerry's mother. We enjoyed a delightful hour with dear Sister Beyeler, now a widow, but still living very independantly in her own home and still driving to and from the marketplace in her own car. She is in her 90's.

We are looking forward to going over to Salmon for another visit with Brenda and Kerry before we return to Arizona. Like us, they just completed serving a full-time proselyting mission for the church, serving in their home state of Idaho. Kerry is a retired architect, with many, many commercial, religious and government structures to his credit, scattered over Idaho and the mid-west where they have also lived. They still own a home in Branson, Missouri and go there often.
