Albert had the opportunity to preach again at Des Moines. We went also in 2013 you can read about it here. We went a week after the huge snowfall due to the Blizzard so the journey there was beautiful. We decided this time to drive up Friday after lunch. We again stayed with Tom and Barb. Tom is an elder at the church. What a blessing to be able to catch up again and be spoiled. We LOVED visiting you Tom and Barb. I made a Pavlova for them which I left in the oven, ooops! I did make another one at their house which was well received, who doesn't like Pav? We drove home again on Monday.
