 This was our first trek. This is our missionary district experiencing what the "real" trekkers will experience. The picture is us crossing the Sweetwater river. We couldn't take the handcarts across as the water was above the hubs which would rust.

The over riding question here is, "For what?" This sign is posted as we exit the missionary village onto the main highway between Rawlins and Martin's Cove. There is clear highway for two to five miles in each direction. Also very interesting is the fact that in the 7.5 stretch of highway between the village and Martin's Cove there are three passing lanes; but no one to pass.

Wyoming Mormon Trail Mission

Finally getting started on our new adventure. We have been called to serve in the Wyoming Mormon Trail Mission. This is a historical site commemorating the great faith and sacrifice of the individuals in the Willie and Martin handcart companies. We purchased a trailer and truck to pull it and are now camped with 60 other senior missionaries and engaged in learning the history of this location. More to come soon.

Hair plaiting



Penny, Dani and Angie visited us for a couple of weeks. On their last day we hosted a "Hair Plaiting" party. We had six sisters from our branch doing the plaiting. It took about seven hours including breakfast and lunch. It was a fabulous time.

Love this picture. It was taken right after the hair plaiting party.
