Tuesday - work crew day Back to Rock Creek Hollow. This time to take up new log benches that had been made on Monday and the 2 trailers owned by church that missionaries will stay in when its their week to supervise that site. It is 65 miles from sixth crossing. We did more painting, Selby installed solar panels for the restrooms. and we came home to have the Bell's as our guests for dinner.
Wednesday - Cathy mowed lawns for 6 hours, not bad because we have riding lawn mowers, but the ground isn't smooth so by the end it felt like a workout. Selby went back to Rock Creek Hollow again and finished up the projects there.
Thursday - The Sisters had a day in Casper to shop and visit. Selby worked on the repeater and on the watering system for the grounds here. He also surprised me with doing the dishes and laundry. He was rewarded with another good golf game.
Friday - selby redesigned the watering system for the lawns because they weren't working. This is one of the many things that he has done that has shown me how capable he is. If he doesn't know how to do something he is able to figure it out. I worked in the office and did what i do best which is clean and organize. In the afternoon we had our first opportunity to work the Visitors Center. I'll try to get pictures. We had 17 people visit during our shift and it was a wonderful chance to share the marvelous stories of the heroic people we are honoring at this site.
Saturday we washed the very muddy trucks(7) and then I worked in the office again. Selby put together his new water system and we spent the evening listening to Wyoming's #1 cowboy singer. He was a crack up. He had brought us horses that the church had leased for the season so we can have a pony express reenactment for the trekkers. He makes his living doing music, horses and movies for the church that need animals and cowboys. I'm realizing that was Friday night, oh well.
Sunday was church in Martin's cove. We had the 2 girls that we had met in the visitors center to teaching Sunday School and I assisted in YW. We had a nice dinner with our group in the evening followed by our district meeting. We are getting better at our stories, good thing as the kids are going to start coming next week (Thursday).
Maybe we have been here to long already, but we are finding so much beauty in this place. Flowers are blooming, the grass is green the sage brush smells so good. The river is very high as they have had so much rain fall. It can go from being sunny one minute and hailing and raining with high winds the next, and then back to sunny again all in a matter of a couple of hours. There is an amazing feeling at this place. These wide open spaces give you a feeling of peace and an interesting feeling of things being enormous. We are happy to be able to serve here. We loved Eric's High council letter to the missionaries, he did such a good job letting us all see how we are each serving Heavenly Father and his children. Our family is so amazing, we love you all. Elder and Sister Bearry aka Selby and Cathy.
