The youth of the LDS 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 Christensen, 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 greater recognition of their own blessings. Adults who accompanied the youth were Jody Rasmussen, Amy Baldwin, ReNae Egley, Lacey Christensen and Bishop Paul McKay.
Winter seems to have blown in during the Thanksgiving weekend. Snow, ice, cold temperatures. The constant line of vehicles that have made their way into our canyons over the past couple of weeks will be pleased with having avoided the recent storms. Our forested slopes have a good start on their winter snow depth. We need the moisture and are grateful.
Jacob and Christy Cheney have a new baby. This little boy was little—five pound, 11 oz, born on November 21. He has two brothers and two sisters ready to welcome him into the family fold.
Reed Swann and his daughter Penny spent Thanksgiving with his son, Charles and Sarah Swann. Charlie’s family live in Donnelly, ID. The Swanns got a storm warning and made the decision to leave a little earlier than planned to come back to Mink Creek. As it was they were chased by the storm as they came. It was worth it to spend time with Charlie’s family.
It would be impossible to count the many Christmas trees that have been hauled out of our snowy canyons this year. The mountain sides are increasing in snow depth with every storm that passes through, but it doesn’t discourage the annual event for families finding their own special tree.
The fog has come rolling in this week, the winter weather wrapping us in that feeling of silence that seems to accompany the shroud. It had settled in our valley, obliterating the mountains, but as the day progressed, lifted to show them still with us. Fog is not a thing of comfort, we hope it doesn’t tarry too long.
