Week 22

Monday August 18  -Worked in the visitor center.  Not as many visitors now that families aren't out on vacation.  Still had several nice couples.  We love teaching the stories and feel so close to these people.  
Tuesday August 19 - Selby took down more facades and then he and his buddies golfed the "Sixth Crossing" golf course (for those who don't know they set up a course in the fields surrounding our village).  I worked on cleaning the office and then I cleaned out the garden shed and organized it.  In my cleaning I discovered a bunny had died in the shed, it wasn't pretty.  Selby's knee gave him lots of trouble after the golf game.

Wednesday August 20  -I finished the shed labeling all the shelves. Selby worked on changing the tie downs on the repeater. and went to Martin's Cove with Elder Woodbury to scout out a project to light the entrance using solar panels for power because the gate is so far from the power.  I seem to be in the rodent business.  Everyone said there was a bad smell in the trek center so I decided that I had to find the source.  Turned out there was a dead mouse under the stairs.  I could find it but I couldn't get rid of it, Sweet Sister Bell removed it for me and I cleaned up the residue.  So creepy but happy it was clean. 

Thursday August 21 -Elder Bearry had to spend the day with his leg up because his knee was killing him and he hoped a day off would get it better.  

Friday August 22 - I heard there was another terrible smell in the visitors center so since I'm on this rodent kick I decided to clean until I found the source.  Got all the pamphlets moved and organized but decided that the rodent was in the walls.  The Visitor Center was originally a fishing camp office and then a KOA campground.  When the church bought the property they turned it into an office and visitor center.  It really needs to be demolished and with the hopes of the new center opening in the next couple of years, maybe that will be the choice.  This site deserves a wonderful center so that more people will stop and hear the power of God in the pioneers lives.  

Saturday August 23 - P-day We went with the Woodburys and Saxtons to Cody Wyoming.  It was about a 3 hour drive.  The first site was the first church building in Cody.  It was a unique design.  It has a circular foyer that has an amazing mural painted in 1950.  The artist was not a member of the church but studied our history for a year and then painted a fabulous historical portrayal.  We then went to a old car show and saw about 150 very cool old cars.  We then went to the Bill Cody Museum.  It was huge and very impressive.  We had a great day.  

Sunday August 24  We went with the Bunnages and had a great day in church.  Elder and Sister Plumhof spoke and moved us all.  Love, being loved and showing love is the core of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We were taught in RS that we need to think of what others may be thinking.  Everyone has a different view point and we need to make sure that we consider what others are feeling before we make judgments.  
Other than Selby's hurt leg we had another good week.
