Week 59 - A Lot of the Same Stuff, But a Very Fast Week

This week really went by fast.  It was filled with much of the same stuff that we usually do -- office work, visitors' center, etc.  We had a couple of early mornings where we were assigned to the Welcome Post at 7:00 am and Handcart Parking at 8:00 am. 

We made a quick trip to Casper to make a bank deposit, mostly from money from our campground reservations. 

On Saturday, we were on our way home for lunch when we noticed an unwanted visitor at our Visitors' Center.  We obviously had to deal with it.  Caught it and released it near the river so it could continue to eat our mouse population.

Earlier this week, Sister Smart was walking home and ran across another friend.

Friend or Foe

Nevertheless this place is full of beautiful sites.

Elder Smart grew up with a love of lilacs.  Seems his mother always had a love for them.  Seems almost ironic that this place would have some beautiful lilac bushes.

We don't just run into snakes around here.

Time goes by so fast.  We're looking forward to another busy week.  We have so many special experiences and we get to meet so many special people.  The gospel is true and we are proud to represent all of you here on our mission.

Love to all of you and Happy Father's Day to all of our family and friends!
