Marco Crosland, son of Robert and
Phee, returned from his mission to Singapore. He keeps busy working
here and there until time for college studies to resume. He recently
spoke about his experiences in the LDS Ward. Family members made up
45 visitors: Two aunts; Carolyn and Mick Mitchi of Moroni, UT, and
Marie and Ray Eads of American Fork, UT, both with families, then
Marco's siblings; Jason and Malia Kunde and children and
Giovanni and Kristina Crosland and family, and various cousins.
Others had Singapore connections, the
family of Elder Hirshi, Marco's last companion, and the Mechams who
met Marco in Singapore. The Mechams were in the area as part of a
Stucki Reunion taking place in Preston and a whole bunch of about
50, came to hear Marco. Plus, friends from his days at Preston High.
Yes, the chapel was overflowing!
Joe and Kathy Jarvis have been
enjoying a visit from their two granddaughters. All the rest of their
grandchildren are boys. Shelby Erasmus is from Provo, UT, and Kirsi
Jarvis is currently attending BYU in Provo.
Our oldest Scouts took a fun high
adventure trip earlier this summer. They traveled to southern Utah
and soaked up the sights, hiking Zion's National Park. Some of them
explored the slot canyons and rappelled on the cliffs. There was a
feeling of being in “the middle of nowhere.” The leaders were
Jake Longhurst, Paul McKay, Terry Westerberg, La Ron Baird, and
Robert Crosland. It was a marvelous few days filled with new
experiences.
Summer is moving right along. Our
grain fields are turning that lovely harvest color of various shades
of amber, from tan to a nutty brown. Arcs of water sail across the
fields that still require irrigation for yet another burst of
growing power. The days are very hot, the nights cool down nicely
for comfortable sleeptime.
The community had an Athletic Night at
our Ballpark. Not too many attended, but the little kids had a great
time and the adults were able to catch up on neighborhood visiting.
Connie and Vance Christensen came home
for a few days. These two are currently living in Utah, after having
spent several years as residents of Hawaii.
We have been having some beautiful
sunsets. Looking to the west down our little valley one can see all
the way over to the west side mountains across northern Cache Valley.
That is a good expanse of colored sky to enjoy.
