Summer Months

June was a little rough from the start. We were still feeling Mawar—plus we had to say "See you later!" to our dear friends Curtis and Kathleen on June 7.

It was not easy to send them off because A LOT of people love them…

…including us!

Tearful good buys early in the morning.

Our power came back on two days after they left.

Aaron had a talk in Jacob and Chloe's congregation.

After that, they and Jessi joined us for shredded beef tacos.

Jessi sought refuge at our house during the cleanup of her own. Her power was out for much longer than ours.

"Exercise Patience"!

2023 Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses

Chloe's best friend, Rachel (forefront)—the reason Jacob and Chloe met.

The English were split into two separate conventions this year so that we could use the Kingdom Hall Complex. Aaron had an oversight assignment, as well as the Watchtower consideration at both conventions. As a result, we were in attendance on both weekends.
