Here is the all time best one, so far. Isn't
the little fellow cute. Apologies to John and
Kim who will not be enthused or amused
with my choice of pictoral subjects.

Here are the missionaries in
our district plus the zone leaders:
Left to right: Elder Stoddard (kneeling) (Highland,
Utah), Elder Butcher (District Leader,
Sandy, Utah), Elder Taylor (Zone Leader,
Mendon, Utah), Elder Boothe (Kaysville,
Utah), Elder Fulbright (Washington State)
Elder Cumming (other Zone Leader, Ohhhhhh--
he is from Southeast Nevada, where Jane's friend Patrece
is from and where some Beckstrand relatives
live, but can't remember the name), Elder
and Sister Jenkins (Donnoly, Idaho) and us'uns--
Dad and the "Close to Home" lady.

Monday night we had dinner up in the
forest with Claudia Peterson and her
sister-in-law, Susan Carter. It was dark
when we came home. On the way down
the mountain, sitting in the middle of the
rutted dirt road, was this little fellow. In
this picture he had laboriously moved
over to the side of the road. Opposums
move very very slowly at best, but this
one had a hurt front leg and moving along
to safety was a big chore for him. Dad
got the pictures because the little beast
just couldn't get going very fast.

This river flows all through the area.
John, Kim and Allan will remember it
being by the Greenway Trail area (near
the little park). Brother Steve Hensley
says it flows north and there is only one
other river in the US with tht distinction.

Heading up to Donna Scruggs
home, you see the difficult road.
The first time we went up there
last September, we just hiked up
this part of the road. Today and
last month we drove. It is very
steep and feels like the car is going
to tip over backwards.

The descent

Sister Williams has helped
with our lessons each week.

(Couldn't include picture of
Sister Thompson as she looked
like the lady on "Close to Home."
