We finally made it to Ogden to see our dear friend Nancy Richardson Wight. She was so surprised and thrilled that we came. It was wonderful to talk about old times. She is living in a very nice assisted care facility and is doing very well.


Of course, we talked about the boys and their Scouting adventures. She sends her love to one and all.

Elder Millet with the first tray of zucchini brownies. Boy, were they good. As Ryan said, "I don't see any zuchnini in these brownies. We wish everyone were here to enjoy.


Our tomatoes plants are huge and one tomato is already yellow heading for red. We have already eaten peas, broccoli, zucchini, peppers. Miracle-Gro works.

Space is limited in our garden but Elder Millet has a way of tucking everything in.


Since we have so little room we have temporarily removed some flagstones from our patio for zucchini and tomatoes.


The bean patch is right by the fence - no need for poles.


Our peppers are doing great. We have already eaten two big ones.


Every garden needs at least one flower.

I took these picturs from Troy and Leslie's Blog.


Troy made a quilt with all his Boy Scout memorabilia and entered it in a local quilt show during the Sage and Sun Festival in Ephrata. He won the Most Original Quilt prize. Good job, Troy.


Pictured with Anna Joy, Emily and Christian. Love you guys.

We held Zone Conference at Heritage Park and This is the Place Monument. President Holmes loves to teach Mormon pioneer heritage and basic gospel beliefs together. We spent the morning bridging from pioneer stories, what and why to the things we hold dear today. Doctrine can easily be taught without overbearance.


The pioneers were persecuted and driven from their homes. They walked 1300 miles because they knew the true gospel of Jesus Christ had been lost through apostasy and had been restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith. We believe the same today. What a great way to teach the gospel. We are so happy to be here on a mission.


The gospel is true. The only way we can find happiness in this life is to live the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We attended Elder Millet's uncle Merrill's funeral. It was wonderful to see all the relatives and enjoy an afternoon together. Afterwards we stopped by the Provo cemetary. I am glad Elder Millet is above ground.

I can't believe a month has past. Wow! Our time is flying. The weather has been rainy and cool. We have had about 2 days of summer this month. The reflecting pond in front of the temple was so still the other day that I snapped this photo. The temple is beautful from every direction, even upside down.
