Ahhh...fishing!

We went fishing a couple of weeks ago. It rained before we got there and rained after we left, but during the "festivities" it was perfect. Poor Molly the dog. We were all gone, either on the water in canoes or kayaks and she was left behind. Being the smart border collie that she is, decided to follow the lake on the road until she could find the perfect opening to join us.

Don just happened to spot her struggling and getting more tired by the second as she swam across the lake to catch up. Pulling her up by one foot into the canoe, she rewarded everyone by shaking off and nearly capsizing the boat. Way to go Molly!

Jasper was stuck cleaning his own fish...Yuck. And no he didn't eat fish for dinner that night. Way to go Jasper!

Nuevo Llamamiento

Some of you may know that Don and I have been called on a part time Welfare Service Mission for our church. As it has turned out, our call is to serve in a Spanish branch in Ogden. At first we thought they'd made a mistake because we don't speak Spanish. But, no, here we are! It is a small branch but the people are very kind and welcoming. I have learned the art of greeting sisters by kissing on the cheek! We have been assigned to the youth who readily speak English and what Spanish I learned in college is coming back.....what a crash course!

We had to Speak in Sacrament Meeting today....what fun! I gave a little of the introduction and read scriptures in Spanish but Staci was my translator for the rest. I'm sure that was a hard job for her but she did a great job. Her dad's talk of course was much harder to translate than my dumb talk but she was a trooper.

On the program we were listed as Hermano y Hermana Maquinan...oh well - close.
