Week 3

So the mission field has the same time problem. We could hardly believe today as we sat in the Chapel at Martins Cove that it had only been a week since we were sitting in conference.  This is such a good thing we can see we are going to love it.  
Monday morning we finished our training in the MTC .  Liz Stoddard met us at our trailer for a tour of our new home.  We went to REI to get some more warmies.  Then off for a nice visit to the Whitings. Thursday-  Taitum is almost walking and is only10 months old.  Lauren and Andrew are wonderful parents! We drove from Logan past Bear Lake and across the high plains of Wyoming.  There are oil wells by the hundreds in that wilderness.  We across the Continental Divide and down into our future homes valley.  We are 35 miles from the closest town.  It is a different kind of beautiful here.  We will send pictures.  There are 14 lovely couples here already and another 6 coming in the next 2 weeks.  We have  already learned an amazing appreciation for the people that made that mind boggling trek back in 1856.  The wind alone is something we never feel in CA.  It is like being at girls camp here. We work on repair projects and make plans for training sessions with the adults that will bring their youth here to learn of the power of God and the courage of good people.   Saturday we walked for miles around our area and the wind blew for awhile But let up and it was a beautiful day about 65 degrees.  Sunday  we woke up to 16 degrees outside and 3 inches of snow on the ground.  The high ended up making it to 26.  We had a potluck break the fast as we observed fast Sunday today.
Our evening was filled with fun face timing with the family.  We are very comfortable in our new home even though it is 16 degrees out side we are nice and cozy inside.  Everything is organized to our liking.  We love you all!
