I hope no one has given up on me. My computer checked out and it has taken this long to get running again from home. The news has still gone out from the Preston Citizen, but I haven't had access to personal stuff for a bit. I will endeavor to fill you in on what you have missed.
Not only has my computer taken a dive but the phone system in this mountain valley is busy throwing a fit and taking its sweet time to recover. At this residence it feels a little like the early settlers when one had to climb on a horse to reach out to anyone, only my horse has 4 wheels. A little different type of isolation to go with teh COVID-19 variety.
Justin and Cynthia Longhurst gathered their extended family together in Smithfield to participate in the blessing of their baby girl. She was named Ellie Bea Longhurst. The couple chose Smithfield as the location because Justin's big brother, Jake, has an occupation as a pilot where he was on call that Sabbath day. Longhurst, Craythorn and Zilles relative were able to attend.
Wynn and Cecelie Costley have been excited about their prospects of serving in Russia as LDS missionaries for a few months. Due to the COVID-19 those hopes and plans have come crashing down. These two are known for their resiliency and are considering this change just a different turn in the road.
David and Judy Wilde had two of their sons at home earlier this month. Christopher and Heidi Wilde now live in Logan. Spencer and Paige Wilde are in Rigby, ID, while Spencer continues with studies at BYU/I in Rexburg.
Kassidy Christensen, daughter of Kerry and Lacey Christensen, was baptized and confirmed the newest member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Mink Creek Ward. Even with restrictions family and friends were able to share this milestone in her life.
Charles and Sarah Swann and their children have moved to Mink Creek. They have been in Lewiston, UT. , put their home on the market and it sold quicker than anticipated. The young Swann family is 'camping' with his father, Reed Swann and sister Penny. Those four children will find all sorts of adventures in their new surroundings.
Johnny and Jeannine Iverson have enjoyed some family visitors during the past few months as the restrictions in other states varied. Their daughter Rebekah Jones and her family came from Washougal, WA, for a lengthy stay and one of their grandsons from Ogden managed to spend some time in between limitations.
The youth of the community were able to get together for a Pancake Supper. They did this at the home of Bret and Jody Rasmussen and as their home is sufficiently spacious there was room to spare. Pancakes are a fitting menu item for any hour of the day.
That takes readers to the beginning of August that will be the next entry in a day or two. I am up to my ears in making apricot jam and picking black currants right now, these things have to be top priorities.
