A PICTURE SORT OF WEEK

Sunday is when we usually work on our blog. We didn't get the blog done yesterday so it might be more of a picture kind of a week.

We had 3 wonderful elders over to our home last Sunday.  Elder Van De Graff, Elder Smith and Elder Thomason.  We made 4 pounds of salmon for 6 of us. It was obvious that the elders enjoyed the salmon. We had one portion left which went home with them.  (Yes, Elder Thomason is a big guy)

This sister had surgery on Monday.  It was kind of a long day at the hospital.  She said to make sure and put her pre-surgical photo in our blog.  

Elder Draney with another woodchuck he trapped out by the AC units. He is going to send it home and have his dad tan its hide and make a hat out of it. Not sure if he was kidding or not. 

We had an excellent FHE on Monday night with Ryan Daley (shown below) speaking. He owns a very large collection of first edition Books of Mormon, Book of Commandments and even brought a 400 year old King James version of the Bible.  His discussion of the many publications of the Book of Mormon was fascinating. 

                                             

These sisters love each other so much they don't want to be separated at transfers. They said they need each other for emotional support.  They wanted me to tell President that it was "medically necessary" for them to stay together. 

We went with my sister and her friend and some other senior missionaries to Adam ondi Ahman on Saturday.  It is difficult to see but there is a rock called Preachers Rock in the distance. We could hear everything the woman was saying even though we were quite far away.

The flowers at the visitor center were quite beautiful. As it froze this past week, it was a surprise to see them still blooming.
