Mink Creek Ward members fulfilled a service assignment to the Ogden Cannery of the Church Welfare system. Two groups drove down, the early morning crew to be there at 6 a.m. On this shift were Mike and Mary Ann Jepsen, David Wilde, Terry Westerberg, Drew Ford and his grandson Patrick, and Bishop Paul McKay. A smaller group took over at 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m: Clare and Linda Christensen, Richard and Vickie Free, Clifford and LaDawn Jensen and Jonia Jackson. Both crews prepared green beans for canning.
Ken and Lauren Nash have been up from Solvang, CA. Lauren is a granddaughter of Louis and Eleanor Engels and has always considered Mink Creek as her second home when the Engels purchased a spot in Mink Creek years ago. Our community as a whole got a visit this time when Ken and Lauren spoke in the LDS Ward meeting.
The Ross family, Ken and Jean were happy to have a visit from Jean’s brother and family. They are David and Melinda Durfee of Orem, UT, and their daughter Samantha.
Elder Charles Iverson has completed his At-Home MTC here and has begun the next step in training at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT, before he departs for the Philippines, Bacolod, Mission.
Recently, with storm clouds approaching and a hay crop in the open, friends and neighbors gathered to help Jamie and Natalie Forbush get those precious hay bales in the barn before the rain was unleashed. Around here, when there is an emergency many hands reach out to help, it has been that way for nearly 150 years.
Alex and Donna Huxford spent a few days with his uncle Richard and Vickie Free. Alex spent several summers on the Free Ranch in his teen years. Now the Huxfords live in Stansbury Park, UT. Alex is a defensive coach for the Stansbury Park high school football team. He is also the Varsity Basketball coach for the girls’ team when that season begins.
We got some serious rain a few days ago and it caught some of us with hay out in the field. Monsoon season makes it might hard to judge farming activities. This hot and dry business has increased the likelihood of rattlesnakes coming near for some water source and several have been reported lately.
