Service in Amarillo, TX!

So, today is Sunday, and we attended a ward in Amarillo. The meetings were really good, and today we learned about an app called Just Serve. It lists out service opportunities in your area, or whatever area you choose, and makes it really easy to find ways to serve in a matter of minutes! So cool - we are really excited about this awesome find!


We already had plans today to go to a nearby cemetery after church and collect pictures pictures for individuals searching for their ancestors! We've done this a couple of other times and, if you do family history, you know how exciting this can be to have someone go out and get these pictures for you!

We stopped by Memorial Park Cemetery, which happened to have a funeral home on-site and got some help from the staff there on where to look for our interments. We spent a couple of hours there and only found 3 of our dozen or so individuals. Not too many, but we blessed the lives of three families by taking some time out on our Sunday afternoon to try to help!



To be a contributor to Find A Grave, you just register for the website, find a cemetery that is close to you, and look under photo requests for unclaimed requests! The info put into this site is pulled into Family Search and Ancestry.com, so it's a great break from indexing or searching if you want to get outside.

God is in the details

📷: Letitia Waters Pierce I'm not sure I'd ever be able to believe that God isn't aware of me. That has been reinforced in the last 10 days. This trip has been a new adventure at every turn. We really didn't know what would happen or what to expect. We sold all of our stuff, quit our jobs and the way money has been burning up in the gas tank and at the unexpected campground spots, we have felt a bit of an unexpected pinch.   Fast forward to Amarillo Texas. It was 105 degrees the day the AC died. We didn't know how us or the cats could survive that kind of heat without AC. Luckily the next day, the high was supposed to be 85. We had someone say they could be there the next day to fix it, and then 15 minutes later, I had someone explaining to me over the phone how to fix the AC that day, at no cost.   As we are leaving Amarillo on June 19th, Ashley happens to look up to see the temple schedule in OKC. Temple closed for 2 weeks for cleaning, fr...

Sunday Miracles Continued - Elk Grove, CA

Another adventurous day... We woke up in Smartsville, CA where we had been staying with a connection from one of our networks, on a beautiful farm. We were sent on our way with a dozen eggs, a quiche and crust recipe (DELICOUS), and an invitation to come back and stay longer next time! We've yet again met some amazing people and have been spoiled by some amazing views... sneakpeak below. Here is the link to the full post about our stay and adventure up to Reno! We'd planned to drive in to Lodi, where we were going to stay overnight on a farm property, and visit a cousin of Ashley's living there, but made a mistake in our travel plans and did not leave enough time to make it all the way to Lodi (according to our GPS) so I quickly found another church house on the way that we could make by 1pm, in Elk Grove, CA. That was even a stretch as we pulled into the parking lot with our big rig right at 1pm and still needed to change our clothes. The first meeting, Sacrament M...
