August 25, 2015

          Spencer Wilde, son of Judy and David Wilde, reported on his mission in the LDS Ward. Spencer was assigned to serve in the South Dakota, Rapid City Mission when he began his two years of service. While there some new missions boundaries were formed and his area was included in the North Dakota, Bismarck Mission. A large group of family and friends were here to welcome him home. It has been four and a half years since the five members of the David Wilde family have been together. The three brothers, Aaron, Christopher and Spencer, have all served missions during that time, overlapping the time of entry and release.
            Leon and Katherine Noorda are finishing time in the Provo MTC , preparing to serve another humanitarian mission in Asian countries. This time they are going to Hanoi, Vietnam. Past mission experiences were in Indonesia and Thailand. They will be doing a Welfare Mission.
           Siblings and their families of Colleen Wilde gathered from near and far at the home of Warren and Colleen on Capitol Hill Rd. for a Lewis Family Reunion. Ann was unable to come but her sons represented her side. Bob and Renae Lewis came from Denver, CO. Benson and Julie Lewis live in Sandy, UT, Beth and Buddy Alford in Idaho Falls, Lynn and Steve Cherrington in Santaquin, UT. Lots of cousins attended, the group totaled fifty-five. One night the siblings met at the Bluebird Restaurant in Logan for dinner while the cousins chose Angie's Restaurant for their meal. Everyone enjoyed a hayride and lots of visiting, catching up on each other's lives.
           The County Fair has folded up. Participants have put away their ribbons and other rewards and can now start planning for what interests they might display next year. Even the livestock get a break, not more scrubbing baths, no more spiffing up to look perfect for the judges.

            The bicycling population is practicing on our Highway 36, getting ready for that Lotoja Race that takes place every fall, Logan to Jackson. This year it has been taken one step further with a highway sign down in Riverdale, lights flashing around the request. “Share the road with bicycles.”
I thought we already were.
             An extra blip on the above news about the Noordas heading to Vietnam. They started out fine and then ended up with a delay regarding their visas. They were marooned in California for a few days while things got straightened out. True to form, they found fun ways to fill the time, one was a Disneyland outing. The last message received was that they had arrived in Hanoi.
