The youth of the ward went to the Ogden Rescue Mission in Ogden , UT, to provide service. This was organized by Young Women President Jody Rasmussen. The youth who participated were Emma and Kate Rasmussen, Jyllian and Greenlee Christensen, Emma Rydalach, Clara Jones, Josie Chrisensen, Hazen Baird, Conner Iverson, and Devlyn Currie. The group organized the pantry for the Mission and served dinner to their patrons. There were comments made by the teens in this situation that indicated a recognition of their own blessings. Adults who accompanied the youth were Jody Rasmussen, Amy Baldwin, ReNae Egley, Lacey Christensen and Bishop Paul McKay.
Kim and Wally Christensen and Vickie and Richard Free managed a fall vacation, going to Branson, MO, for about ten days. They had fourteen different shows lined up for their entertainment and still had time to relax, take in some shopping, enjoy the higher humidity and have fun.
Royce and Lorraine Christensen are announcing a new grandbaby. Their son, Fred and Victoria Christensen of Orem, UT, recently brought a bouncing baby girl, at 9 lbs, 10 oz, still the smallest of their three babies. She is welcomed by her big brother and sister. She will be named Serena and is the littlest baby of these three.
Dr. Kyle Jepsen and his wife, Anastasia and their children were here to spend some time with his father, Glen Jepsen. Kyle is a dentist in the Dallas, TX, area. Temperatures here were considerably more chilly than in Texas.
There has been much coming and going over the Thanksgiving days. Home for the holiday, but still having to get back to work the following day tweeks the time spent on home ground. It was dry as far as moisture is concerned but very cold. This did not dampen the spirits of any who were following their family ritual of getting their Christmas tree from our canyons. Suffice it to say that Many Trees have gone down the road, piggy back atop of cars, in the back of pickups, some even on trailers and possibly more than one tree per vehicle.
