We have been busy but not overwhelmed. We worked in the office doing assignment schedules, Sacrament programs, mission history, finances and the monthly newsletter. We had our turn on Ra Ra (cleaning toilets) this week and spent time in the visitors' center. The number of visitors has slowed down a lot, but we still get to visit and share with many wonderful people that come to see this sacred spot.
Friday was our prep day. We went to Casper and helped a former missionary couple paint the ceilings in their new home. The Maxfields are the couple that used to live in the apaprtment we now live in. We worked with the Taylor's and painted ceilings. We also had lunch at the Pizza Ranch and got our grocery shopping done.

Saturday was reenactment day. November 4th is when the Martin Company crossed the Sweetwater River to get to the cove for some protection. It was 6 degrees below zero that day. We had 141 people come to cross through the Sweetwater River and walk to Martin's Cove. It was cold and windy, but those that trekked were glad they came. If you can believe it, many of these trekkers were from Erda, near Tooele.

We are so blessed to be here. We love the spirit that is present and we are so grateful to have wonderful missionaries to work with and touch our lives.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY this week to Sara Stagg 5 years old on Monday and Austyn Cherrington, sweet 16 on Thursday.
We love all of you and miss you,
Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Paul and Annie, Elder and Sister Smart
