END OF MISSION IS COMING

February, at our Senior Missionary Meeting, we were told that Salt Lake has decided to end the Senior Missionary Couples Activation Missions in the Pocatello Idaho Mission on June 30, 2012. So we only have a few more months. We have met so many wonderful people and have enjoyed working with them. We are so very THANKFUL we were able to serve the Lord in this way. We encourage everyone (young and old) that can to serve a mission. The MTC (Missionary Training Center) was so inspiring and wonderful and it just got better as we did our mission.

President Colton, a wonderful man.

A group of us got birthday congratulations and a $5.00 gift card to Wendy’s. That was not the whole group.

They had a talent show, this is a group of Elders and Sisters from our area, they did a Tonga dance. Not sure who won but they were great.

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).

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

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.
