"And here we have Idaho" (singing)


We decided to make our trip to hear David speak on Sep. 21 a little longer and spend some time with Mom so we left on Wed., Sep. 17 and drove to Rexburg and then to Mom's. Thurs. we went to the Twin Falls Temple and then met a missionary couple from Cambodia who live in Gooding. On Fri. we went to Boise and Sat. did some of the odds and ends jobs at Mom's. Fun to play cards in the evenings.

Elder Walquist comes home

Nancy and I met Ralph, Brenda, Tammy and Elder Walquist at the airport in S.L. today as they came from Paraguay. I was so proud os Brenda as she had never been on an airplane before! Ralph and Brenda loved meeting the members and seeing David talk and react with the members. We are going to Idaho to hear him speak on Sun.

Silverton

We left on Tues., Sept. 9th and took the Durango-Silverton train the next day. We took the train to Silverton and the bus back to Durango over the really high passes! We were heading to Denver to see Nick's football game. It rained (hard) the whole game. Fun to see Wayne and Sue, Bob and Sandra, Nick and Chris.

Friendly llama

When we were standing by the llama I kept hearing a strange sound-kind of like a cry. It took a while for me to figure out that it was the llama as his lips and mouth didn't move at all. It was like a ventriloquist. Now I see that his nostrils move just a little bit. We thought it was so funny and he kept making the sound. He had a real attituede besides!
