May 20, 2014

       With Mothers' Day just a week past there were several families anxiously awaiting the phone call, or the arranged Skype contact that would bring the voice of their missionary into their homes for a good visit. Some were in early morning hours, others scheduled off and on throughout the day. Mink Creek community has ten families who were looking forward to those few moments.
        Listing them alphabetically by family name are: Elder Mikel Beardall, son of Kent and Tammy , in Russia, Hermana Rebekah Christensen, daughter of Wally and Kim, in Uruguay. Robert and Phee Crosland have three sons scattered---Elder Marco Crosland in Singapore, Elder Mario Crosland in the Philippines, Elder Rico Crosland in New Zealand. Elder Tyson Hall, son of Brett and Kristi, in Chile. Sister Alexis Iverson, daughter of Kurt and Margret, in Texas. Sister Macy Jepsen, daughter of Kerry and Melinda , in Cambodia, Sister Tiffany Longhurst, daughter of Sheldon and Candy, in California, Elder Cody McKay, son of Paul and Terrie, in Alabama, Elder Joseph Seamons, son of Jeff and Jennifer, in Germany, and Elder Spencer Wilde, son of David and Judy, in Minnesota.
       Brigham and Jennifer Wilcox and their children spent the weekend with his parents, Eldon and Danita Wilcox. The young Wilcox family live in Pocatello while Brigham is going to school.
       Joe and Kathy Jarvis made an exciting announcement to the LDS congregation. They have been called to serve in the Johannesburg, Africa, Mission. They will be leaving in September and will be working in the LDS temple in the city of Johannesburg.
       Danny and Nicky Coleman and their family were up from Logan,UT for Mothers' Day. His parents, Tammy and Nelson Coleman, always enjoy the grandparent time with this sort of visit.

       It is the last week of school around here. The scholars of 2013-2014 academic year are looking forward to sleeping in, not scrambling to meet the bus in the early hours. There has been field trips, projects handed in, and , of course, final exams. Now they are looking at summer fun, plus such things as moving irrigation pipe, weeding gardens, summer employment, and getting 4H projects ready for the county fair.
