Busy, Busy #50

It seems like we have been so busy this week with so many different things, but maybe it's just all the training efforts with all the new missionaries.  

One thing that we take great pride in is this picture taken by Elder Honey.  It has a statue in front showing people from the handcarts being taken into heaven.  Behind the statue is a board showing families that were in the Willie Handcart Company.  The reason this is such a great picture is because the family on the board on the left is Sister Smart's direct line ancestors, the James family.

One night we were watching the news and thought it interesting that they describe the wind around here by where your garbage can might end up.  On this day it was likely to end up in the "Neighbor's Yard".




For our family home evening this week, we reviewed square dancing techniques.  These folks are doing the Virginia Reel.  You might be able to pick out Sister Smart on the right in the rear.

Tuesday morning we were asked to train missionaries on running the Visitors' Center.  Since the Smarts are supervising the Center, we got to do most of the training.

On another day our district got together and toured the Martin Cove site.  We took two rovers and went all over the place.  We ended up at the Devil's Gate where we took a picture of the people in our district.

Friday night we had two other couples over for Hawaiian Haystacks.  It turned out to be a nice event.

Well, we're tired of writing, even we love sharing with all of you.  So, we'll end with congratulating Carter on getting his learner's permit (if you're in Vegas watch out!) and sending our condolences to Kathie on the occasion of her broken arm😦.

Our mission is such a blessing to us and we hope, to you our friends and family.

We love you all and pray the Lord's choicest blessings might be yours.
