Little Red Church for Jennie's Wedding

We gathered at the little church, set out lanterns along the path and had a great 'post Christmas' wedding for Jennie and John.

Wedding Prep etc.

Weddings don't just happen. They require planning and preparation.

Ceremony

Laurie sang, I spoke and the bride and groom said "I do.'

Fred and Priscilla's new church/Donnie's new school

Fred was asked to pastor a great church in Central Point. Donnie seems happy as a first year law student at the Northwestern Law School in Portland (Lewis and
Clark College)

Trip to Oregon

In October I flew south to see Laura, Donnie and other close relatives. Great time driving down the coast as well, stopping at Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark (Sacajawea and others) spent the winter of '06 (1806). Finally after being retired I can see some authentic Fall foliage (Fred and Priscilla's yard) and go on a walk with Tim Smith and Chessie in Portland. Also go to Laura's church.

Dad's Passing

After Dad Jelmeland passed away in June we scheduled a special Memorial Service for August 10. There were many testimonies to his faith and faithfulness throughout the years.
