McKenna Jepsen, daughter of Dr. Kerry and Melinda Jepsen, became the bride of Landon Johnson at the Jepsen home in Mink Creek. He is the son of Dr. Brian and Elizabeth Johnson of Jefferson City, SD. McKenna and Landon met at Utah State University. The new Mr. and Mrs. Johnson will begin their together lives in San Diego, CA, but have plans to move to Utah.
Another daughter in the Jepsen family, Tara, was scheduled to leave on her mission to New Zealand. As is often the case with the COVID-19 situation there has been some changes in that announcement of last week’s Citizen. At the present time Tara is not certain of her place of service, but she will begin the two weeks of Missionary Training at her home this week.
The LOTOJA commanded our highway for several hours over the weekend with its annual presence. After some rather chilly days the day of the race was ‘just right’ with the participants being able to take care of their layered outfits to suit the temperatures. Mink Creek residents recall the year that the summit of our canyon greeted the bikers with snow and the need of extra care, even with ambulances waiting if needed.
Wynn and Cecelie Costley are again serving in a mission capacity. The first call was to be in Russia, but with the twists and turns of 2020, they are now part of the Utah Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission.
Jyllian Christensen, daughter of Kerry and Lacey Christensen, received awards at the Eastern Idaho State Fair for her work with the Working Ranch Horses program. Austin Corbett, son of Sherrie and Shane Corbett, took second in quality at the sheep showing at the Fair. Congratulations on their accomplishments.
Emily Longhurst surprised us with a new event. She had appendicitis and was hospitalized for some surgery. Now she is getting back in shape to play volleyball for PHS.
One can both see and feel the days getting shorter in length. Summer visitors are all but disappearing with schools across the country beginning in some form or another, whether in the classroom, masked, or online with a ZOOM class. One young man is ‘attending’ school in Texas, while sitting in the comforts of his grandparents house in Franklin County, ID. This is something beyond the imagination not too many years ago. The current school year is an experiment for many families, and with children of all ages. Online kindergarten?
