Company from Louisiana


Guess who came for a visit? The Dockens family from Louisiana. We met them at Jasper Camp last year and became very good friends with them. They stayed for three days, so Thursday afternoon we went to the den room in Tucson.

On our way to the den room... the backseat riders :)
Waiting to go in.
Mommy and Daddy
Brother Steven Smith giving us a tour.
Seeing the place where the Prophet spent so much of his time was really amazing. Looking around at all the animals he killed and all the little different things, from his guns to his books, it gave us a little glimpse of Brother Branham's life. I think everyone should get a chance to see it! :)



The Silver Tip Grizzly.
Brother Branham's Study.


Brother Branham's Bible. :)
Look who I found! :)
The boys.. :)
A group picture before we head back home.
Friday we took them up to Sunset Mountain. Since it has been raining around we thought that the roads might be flooded out. Thankfully they weren't and we made it there safely. The day was hot though and a quick hike to the top of the hill was all we did before heading out. 
We stopped in at Klondike store on the way out. It is no longer in use, but is it special to see as it was Brother Branham that would come to this very place. There is even a picture of Brother Branham hanging inside on the back wall.
Shade is treasured in Arizona!! :)
Fun times!! 
On the way home we passed the Graham Mountains which are on fire. At night we can see the flames from our house.
Everyone came to our house in the evening and we played volley ball and ping-pong. Saturday we went to the... well, I decided not to tell you. I will post it soon! :)
