Simply Gathered: Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was beautiful!!! Jay had been before but I hadn't and I wanted to see it while we were so close. We didn't know when we would be back to Phoenix, if ever. Not too much to explain about the pics...I will let them speak for themselves. Other than...how could anyone look at these and not think there is a God?!

Our rental car....Prius Hybrid. We weren't too sure about driving a Hybrid (it is different!), but we got attached to this little car over the week and really enjoyed it!

If you have never been and get the chance to go...do so! You will not regret it!

Here is a video since pictures don't do it justice!

After the conference was over, we spent the last free day traveling to the Grand Canyon. It was about 4 hours away and we took a little detour through Sedona, because we have been told how beautiful it was and that it was worth it!

Warning....although they are all beautiful, there are lots of scenery/rock/dessert pics.

As we traveled the 4 hours, I was amazed at how quickly the scenery would change. It would be cactus, then all trees, then dessert, then rocks and then mountains and then some more. Check them out below....it was beautiful scenery!

At this stop to check out some scenery and take pics, Jay and I were able to witness and share the gospel with a lady working there. She claimed to be a believer and we got her information to correspond with her. Please pray for Linda.
