Getting Caught up

   I know I keep doing my post with pictures, but the internet is not so good up at camp, and we are so busy, that I only have time to catch up the blog with pictures on my preparation day, when we are home and can use good internet.
      So enjoy!

Elder LeFevre, just chillin in the cabin at our lunch break

Found this Mama Moose when we went for a ride

We are heading up to Bald Null, the highest point on the Mountain, and
the scenery is spectacular, these pictures do not do it justice.

The Heber Valley in the distance

Marker at the top of Bald Knoll, you can see how high we were.

On top of Bald Knoll, you can see the Kamas Valley, the Heber Valley,
almost to Strawberry, it is amazing.  If you are a missionary here
 you get to see all this beautiful land. The missionaries are the only
one's aloud to ride the outback trails, and we have seen some
amazing places. 

On the way down we met 2 of mama Moose's friends, we got pretty close
 and they did not even care.  The animals here are not afraid of
the missionaries, they know they are in a special place and we will not
hurt them.

A little blurry, but it was the only one we could get with both the bull
moose in the picture

Elder Terry ( our boss) walking back to the ATV's

Sis. Terry and I waiting, we thought the Moose had eaten Elder Terry
and Elder LeFevre, They followed them for about a 1/2 hour. We got a little
nervous, because we were parked where a Mama Bear and her 2 cubs
had been spotted just last week. 

Our last load of Young Women leave the camp. We will miss them, they
bring a special spirit to the Mountain. They won't come back
 until next summer.  Now we will take care of Families and groups until we
leave at the end of September. So Grateful we get to come
back next summer. 

Elder and Sister Henderson and Elder and Sister Parks,
 Every Friday, when the girls are checking out we have had
the blessing of emptying the garbages for Camp Smith and Camp Esther.
These are the great camp host we have worked with in Camp Smith

We are not sure what kind of bird this is, we just thought it was neat

If you can see it, there is a new born fawn lying on the ground, right in front of the
week old fawn.  

The newborn is about 1 hour hold in this picture,  she was born right at the Lake,
by the beach.

We have the best job ever, don't you think.  We are looking for more couples for next year.  Let us know if you are interested,

2 lost little girls

     Tonight we had an " All Call" for all the missionaries.  All Call is used when all missionaries need to be contacted.  Tonight, we were called to search for 2 lost girls, Abby and Lizzy.  Ages 14 and 4.  They had been missing for about an hour, they left when the sun was still up and it was warm. By the time we got the call, the sun had gone down and it was getting cold.
       As the missionaries gathered at the command post, we were given areas to search. Trails to walk with our flashlights, calling for Abby and Lizzy.
        As I saw all the missionaries gather, my grandmothers heart was so grateful. The parents were frantic, the Dad had already started searching. So we all set out to search.
         It did not take  loing before we got the call that they had been found. As the family was told we heard a cheer go up. I know many prayers of gratitude went up, for a loving Heavenly Father who know where these girls were, even when the rest of us did not.
         I was grateful to be part of a missionary team, that no matter how tired after a long day, we all got up and went searching. I know if that would have been 2 of my grandchildren. I would have been overwhelming grateful as I watched all those missionaries answer the call to come and start searching.
       So grateful tonight to be a missionary and know that the Lord knows where each of His children are, no matter how young or old, and that He helps us find all His lost sheep.
