Mark and Jessica Spangler

Stopped by Moody Aviation to eat lunch with old friends and eat lunch with friends.

Visited with some more friends and got another tour! This time of an airplane manufacturing company. It was sweet.

It’s been so fun seeing all the fall colors! The most shocking were the vines on the freeway! Check it out!

We came to the corner of the US to visit friends from Cameroon. When we go on furlough we also miss our friends from Cameroon. It is also very fun to see them in their original context. We got in last night. Today we went hiking. Tomorrow is church with them which will be so fun.

After we hiked we went down to the beach and searched for crabs. Easy to find! Then we went home and cooked clams and muscles that we bought on the beach. Pacific Northwest!!!! Wow!!!! Never tried a clam and muscle before. Yumm

We spent a couple days with some relatives of a friend. I can now also call them friends. Such fantastic people. The kids had so much fun!!! Unfortunately we had the kind of fun where we acted so silly and agreed that no pictures would be posted hahaha. I can add a group picture when I get it.

We decided to drive up the coast a ways thanks to a recommendation from a friend. So far it is well worth it!!!!

Special shout out to Mark who went trail running with me this morning.

Friends from our church in Phoenix invited us to stay at their house a few days. It was such a nice visit. Feel so blessed to have such friends.

Again, can’t flip my picture over. We went to church with friends we were visiting in CA and ran into friends from cameroon!!!! So happy to see them here. The kids were thrilled to see someone they knew. So blessed by this surprise!!!!

Not sure how to flip my pictures around. I’ll figure it out before long I hope…

Anyways, spent two days in yosemite and it was great! Hiked and hiked some more. I have more pictures somewhere… maybe on Marks phone. We saw a few waterfalls and walls where there can be waterfalls. We saw a beautiful lake surrounded by a meadow. That was stunning! I think we all wish we had a few more days to spend here!
