Hi Everyone,
We've been here two weeks now and it has been fun and hard at the same time. My back and leg have been bothering me alot this past week and I have been unable to help with much. The Trek Director Brother Cowen fell off his stairs last year and was hurt about the same way. He gave me a name of a sports doctor that helped him so I am going to go see him on Monday.   I wish Tyler or Justin were around cause I don't want another Chiropractor working on my back. So I'm going to go this route for now and see what happens. I am not going to be any good if I can't walk with the groups, at least a little ways.
 I also miss my Temperpedic mattress. I think that is the problem as this bed has no give to it.
So going to go to Costco and see if i can find a padding that I can put on the top of my bed, so i can sleep without killing both my hips.  :)
Hope you are all doing well, know that we miss you and need you to send us some family pictures.
We love you and know the Gospel is true.
Love ,
Mom

Hi everybody!

Just wanted  to let you know how we are. This is such a beautiful area. We went on a four wheeling excursion last night to look at one of the new trails. it was so expansive and beautiful. Saw a lot of Antelope.  But I've got to say that it was so cold!  I had a lot of clothes on too, but I was still shivering when I got back.  

We have a prayer meeting every morning and 8 am and have a song and a scripture and prayer. then it's off to our assignments. it is very busy here and I understand that when we start trekking in June it will be even busier. 

This is pictures of the Depot. It used to be a Train depot. It is a building from the 1800's.
Complete original flooring. We love this old building. The missionaries use it for their
family home evenings.

                                                         Dad built us a platform and new stairs

Dad is loving it here. He loves this country for its solitude. and I just found out that there is 15,000 cattle here not 50,000.  We saw a lot of antelope too. Dad is totally in his element and is going out again today riding on another trail.  Love you all- Mom

Arriving in Wyoming

Well we are in the mission field.  We got the trailer set up and had our first dinner in our new home tonight,  There are 10 missionary couples here and we are like a circle of wagons (only we are ln trailers)   This ranch is 230,000 acres with 50,000 cattle, Antelope 12,000 species of birds and numerous deer.  Just up Jim’s alley.  The treks start in June and go until August. going to be interesting.  I really like all the people I’ve met so far.  It is very serene here and quiet for now. Blackest night and beautiful stars.  There is an old train depot building built in the 1800’s  really cool.  Love- Mom

I hope they call me on a MISSION...

I'm so thankful for the wonderful example our parents are setting for their grandkids in heading out on a mission tomorrow. I couldn't have asked for better parents and love them dearly! Have fun trekking Dad & Mom! Love- Amber

My amazing parents were set apart as missionaries and head out in the morning! I feel so blessed to call these two my parents. They are always supportive of our decisions, and trust me and Devin completely. They have helped me through many hard times in my life, taught me about my Savior Jesus Christ and are great examples to me and my children. Going to miss you two!! Love you Momma & Daddio! 

Love- Sarah Belle
