Young Women's Camp





Shelly spent a week with the young women of our ward at "Big Meadow" in the High Sierra's. She loved the week and grew close to the young women. There were many wonderful experiences that they shared. On Friday night I joined the group for a Fast and Testimony meeting. It is a beautiful place to visit and it has a special spirit about it.

Mt. Whitney




I had the opportunity to hike with the young men of my ward to the top of Mt. Whitney. Mt. Whitney is the highest peak in the lower 48 states, at 14,464 feet. We hiked for 7 days and covered 69 miles. It was a great experience for all of us. I was impressed with the young men. We held our Sunday Meeting in the wilderness and it was a amazing to feel the spirit there. I made it to the top, but I am pretty tired!!!!

Dad's Funeral





We lost our Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather on July 1, 2010. He was 87 years old and poor health. The family gathered in Richfield for the funeral. It was good to see the whole family, although it was a sad occasion that brought us together. He was a good, honest and hardworking man.
