We had to do an orientation for new missionaries last Monday eve. While we were inside it had rained. This rainbow was beautiful but not able to get a good picture without the power poles.

You will notice the white car in the fore ground. It is almost ours. Aren't the trees beautiful. Fresh wash job

We were able to go back up to Lafayette for a baptism a couple of weeks ago. We got to see the Cramers {Bishop "Fabio" and family} Paul and Nancy This is Elder Mecham , We worked with him the whole time we were in Lafayette...We found this family on the ward list. Less Active... Parents met at Utah State, she is from WYO. and a member. He is not. These are their children , Christopher and Sabrina.

This is their family and Paternal Grandmother

We have abouat 8 cars that are for sale. Elder Slade has to sell them. Once they hit 50k, they begin to get rid of these cars. So the President decided to have some of the Sisters come to the mission home for a service project.
Below is Sister little {orange shirt} and Sister Williams washing one of the mini vans

This is a picture of President Collins taking pictures of the Sisters at work. Of course picture taking is my job.

This mini van used to belong to Sisters Little and Williams. they called it the millenial falcon. Sister Williams is the JC so she never got to drive. Elder Slade gave her permission to drive it to the street. Thrilled !!!!!!!!!!!!!the little things

Sister Elmer and I
Sisters Williams and little with the Fleet Coordinator and wife

We love these Sisters




the Assistants==Elder Banner, Elder Downey , and Elder Keitch.

they really are more mature than most

Happy Anniversary to you Elder Slade "

41 years and still ticking

It has been a great ride.....

Love you

Of course I had to ride ---I can't fall over with this one..sooooo fun

Since we started in the office there have been 4 accidents. The Fleet Coordinators prior to Elder Slade had one in a blue moon. The cost of all the accidents could have bought a new car for the Mission. So the new '''''''fleet coordinator ' is looking for a more economical drive. This one we tested today would require that the JC would always be the look out for the driver. {no longer just when backing }, His further responsibility would be to be sure that no one rear ends them . You will note that very little gas is needed and the need for 4 new tires would be eliminated all together .

I don't remember if I showed you these pictures of the office after my urge to change it all around. I like it alot better , however Elder Slade was not overly impressed.

Here he is getting to know the office files and computers. He gave a part at a Zone Leaders training today and evidently President was very impressed with what he did.
