Most of our local deer have retreated from sight for the
casual drive through Mink Creek. That
doesn’t mean they are gone, and there are still deer fatalities on our highway,
though not as many as in winter months.
Our foxes are out and about, I have seen several of the red coats and
busy tails this spring.
Rebekah Christensen , daughter of
Wally and Kim Christensen, will be entering the MTC and spoke in a Sunday
meeting. Her area of service will be in Uruguay, Montevideo West, Mission. All of the Christensen siblings
attended: Jeremy and Crystal Christensen
and children of Provo, UT,
Angelie and Thane Winward and their family from Garland,
UT, Aaron and Nick Christensen, both of Logan. Her grandmother, Shirley Keller of Thatcher,
and grandparents, Reed and Pauline Christensen of Layton were there. Aunts, Uncles, cousins, friends, all lent
their support.
Bob and Claudia Erickson took a trip
to Vancouver, WA to the home of their daughter, Claudine,
and LaMar McKague. Sam McKague, the
eldest son, is soon departing for an LDS mission to Ribeirao Preto, Brazil. While there they had the fun of going to a
pro baseball game for the Seattle Mariners playing the Los Angeles Angels.
Mink Creek has two new baby
boys. April 17th brought a
son to Jody and Laural Janke, weighing 7 # 7oz. , 21 inches. April 29th
was the delivery date to Stuart and Alona Ostler, this boy weighed 7 # 9 oz.,
19 inches. These boys have a ready-made friendship
through their parents.
Kyle Jepsen, son of Glen and Betty
Jo Jepsen, has spent some vacation time in Mink Creek. He has a dental practice in Dallas, TX. Kyle and Glen put in some physical work on
the farm and it was good to have some country moments after life at a more
hectic pace.
Juliana and Blaine Packer and their
baby girl, Cedar Ann, came down from Heyburn, ID,
for a weekend with her parents and their family. They are LaRon and Liesa Baird.
Cherry blossoms are lightly pink
upon the branches. Daffodils and tulips
are putting on a show. There is evidence
of spring upon the land after suffering a series of cold days. Many of the wild trees are showing blossoms
of white. Mink Creek abounds in a
variety of trees. I had heard about the
trees years before I ever dreamed I would end up living here. I only knew of its existence from a
missionary in Wyoming.
The missionary count from the Mink
Creek Ward is not decreasing. One has come home while two have left to serve,
more on that in next week’s news.
