This sweet sister holds the distinction as the one who has been in this branch the longest of anyone who is still active. She is so cute and funny. She has the cutest sense of humor. She teases us. She asked Elder Hinton if President Monson and he were best friends. She asked me if I used to sing in the Tabernacle choir. When I said no, she said it's not good to lie.
Anyway, she is a humble, cute little lady. Her husband usually brings her to church each week. She lives quite a distance from the church- about a 20 minute drive from the church. But recently he wasn't able to bring her, so she rode her bike. She's not young and it is HOT!!!! When Elder Hinton expressed his amazement, she said "I didn't ride over the Rocky mountains. It's not that bad." She is just so cute. Anyway, she grows a huge garden. Each week, she fills the genkan at church with produce from her garden for people to take whatever they want. She brings boxes of delicious, fresh-picked vegetables- all washed and scrubbed.
