Halloween with a cute family from South Rexburg

We had a garden full of pumpkins, so we invited this family

over to carve some.

Tristian is so cute and had a fun time too (as long as I didn't pick her up).

Brother Butler's

They have other children that couldn't come so we sent them home

with 4 more pumpkins.

Potato Harvest in South Rexburg

These are pictures from Lee Sutton's Potato Farm in South Rexburg



It was very interesting to see how potatoes are harvested



They dig them up first, then another machine comes along and put the potatoes
in a pile, then another machine comes along and picks them up and
puts them on the truck.

The truck then takes them to the potato storage building

As the truck unloads the potatoes workers pull out any stalks or weeds

The potatoes are then piled up in the storage building until sold.
This building is HUGE! He has several huge buildings and when harvest is
over all the buildings are full of potatoes. It is temperature controlled.
Thanks Lee for letting us see how it is all done.

What a Kick Off

On Sunday we met with the Idaho Pocatello Mission Presidency; the Rexburg Idaho South Stake Presidency; and some of the Bishops, High Council and Ward Mission Leaders. We were introduced to our assignment and given a charge and direction for our efforts. The Stake leaders are ready to help anyone and everyone within their boundaries that need help. The love that they show for their members is very impressive. My sweet companion and I are chomping at the bit to get started. We thank you for your sustaining thoughts and prayers.

Mission Training Center

Last day of district classes. The Burnams were heading to Russia; We are going to Pocatello and the Bohne's are headed to the Chezk Republic.

We only have to go this far.

The Morning before we left to the MTC from our daughter's home in Lindon, UT.

What a week. It has been a long time since we have had such intense training. We met many new people and were amazed at the many bright and shiny young men and women preparing to go on their mission all over the world. There were also a good selection of Senior Missionaries. We also had a great devotional given by Elder Patrick Kearon and his wife. His English accent was delightful.

We are now Missionaries

This afternoon at 4pm we went to the home of President Phillip Wightman, our Stake President, and were set apart as full time missionaries in the Idaho Pocatello Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We received blessings and promises that if we do our best to follow the directions contained therein we will have a successful mission experience. We need your prayers to help sustain us in this effort. Thank you.
