The Animals are returning to the Mountain, Welcome Home

     Because of the LOOOOONG HARRRRRD Winter, the animals have been slow to return to the Mountain, but they are finally coming home. First came the Moose, then the Elk, then the Deer, and in the last 2 weeks the Bears have been waking up and coming down into camp.
The only one we could catch pictures of, Thank You, Elder Rapp,
for taking such good pictures from your trailer. 








As soon as I get some pictures of the other animals I will post them also

Helping other teams practice

     We have been all helping each other to learn our jobs, we have had a chance to go and be at the Challenge Courses, so they can practice on us and they have come to the lake so we could practice.

Getting the Lake ready for the /girls to come

       We have been assigned to serve at the Lake this summer, so we have been working hard to get the Lake ready for the girls to come the first week of June.  We have 5 new missionary couples to train, so between getting all the boats ready, the boat house ready, shoveling snow, so we have the volleyball courts ready and training new missionaries, we have very full days.
     We hare very grateful to be assigned back on the lake again this year, we loved it last year.

Drying out the Peddle boats, some water got in the ballast during the winter,
and froze, so we had to thaw them out.
