After our visit in Las Vegas, we rented a car and drove to Pahrump, Nevada, to visit a dear friend of ours.
It was an hour drive with magnificent views of the mountain along the way.

We have known Rev. S for many years and I visited her and her husband before at their lovely home in Pahrump, Nevada, USA.
I went to Nevada to visit her right after I retired to pray with her and get guidance.
She has provided much needed spiritual support to our family in the past.
This time, we were here to lend her our support. She was there with her sister, Susan, and we got to know her a little better during the past couple of days.
We stayed at Rev. S.'s house.
From the backyard of the house, we could have a very good view of the mountain.
These palm trees were just planted and were very small when I visited Rev. S. a few years ago.
Many have grown a lot bigger and taller since I visited in 2009.
In fact, the palm trees have grown so much that they need to be trimmed and cut annually.

The couple days when we were there, a tree guy was in the backyard climbing up the trees trying to remove the dead leaves.
For a couple of days work trimming the trees and fixing the broken sprinkler pipes, it could easily cost the homeowner between US$ 1000.00 to $2000.00.
The cost of owning and maintaining a home in U.S. and Canada can be expensive for new homeowners and seniors living on retired income.
Evidently, Pastor S. has a green thumb and she loves gardening and planting. She has planted many shrubs and fruit trees in her backyard.
She was proud to show off to us her plentiful harvest of dates and pomegranates from last year.
She was eager to share with us her home grown chemical and fertilizer free organic pomegranates.
The pomegranates were meaty, juicy and very sweet indeed!
Furthermore, Pastor S. told us that these pomegranates could be kept for months without being spoiled. How about that!
The main purpose of our visit was to pray and show support to Pastor S. during her time of loss of a loved one.
We did just that. She was so glad that she had some visitors from Toronto.

We spent some time reading the bible, praying for our families and enjoying each other's company over a lovely dinner at one of the restaurants.
We also learned about some of Pastor S.'s needs.

We will try to visit her more often lending her our support.
