Service on Fire Island



Heading South to Fire Island

We were asked to help a young couple in our ward whose little girl was having surgery by taking in a meal in. The grandparents, non-members from Missouri, had come to care for the little boy while the parents were at the hospital. This would be a good opportunity for them to see the Church in action.

It was a perfect time for us to see Mother Nature in action as well. We had wanted to drive to Fire Island, but never had. What breath-taking views! The sunset shot was taken from a bridge, through the passenger window at 60 mph - a miracle!

The directions were easy to the Love house - just drive across the bridge, go around the tower and turn left at the flashing lights. What was hard was to keep our eyes on the road - the sights were so amazing!


Speedy Recovery for a Tiny Girl

The family lives in Marine housing on the Island and we were very happy to be assigned to take dinner to them. Their little daughter had surgery on Monday and was doing great and was already home. We enjoyed a brief visit with them... as well as the spectacular drive finding them!

When we talk of "Mission Miracles" your "car photographs" are at the top of my list! What beautiful sights and experiences you are having out your way. We have been swamped...but love your new header photo, (thanks for the idea), and look forward to study time together at our Monday meeting, and the social that evening. HUGS!

Those shots are spectacular. I love how the clouds make a halo around the tower. Nice photography work. And nice service to the family.
