Surprise Treat


A couple of days ago we received an unexpected phone call from Rachel Loveridge asking if we could host someone who was singing with her in a program as part of the Mormon History Association's Annual Meeting in Sacramento. When pressed, she admitted that she didn't have any arrangements for herself either so we suggested that the two of them stay here which would make travel arrangements easier all around.

So Saturday afternoon, John Huntington and Rachel arrived to stay at our house for the night. Fortunately, we are equipped for such things. We had a delightful visit with them although we all had to turn in early so we could be bright and alert after an hour's drive to Coloma this morning. The Devotional was held in the Coloma Emmanuel Church in the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. The church was completed in 1856 as an Episcopal Church. Both John and Rachel sang a solo as well as a duet as part of the program. Very nicely done.

  1. So did Rachel get a chance to see Camdan? I think that would make it the first time that she got to see one of the nephews before me.

    I'm very glad she and you all felt comfortable doing something like that. And I'm glad it was a good experience for all involved.
