The Relief Society of the Mink Creek Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has changed its leadership with the start of the new year. The new officers are Margret Iverson, President; Cecelie Costley, First Counselor; Rebecca Jones, Second Counselor; and Robin Stevenson, Secretary. Released with a huge vote of thanks for their last four years of service are Kim Christensen, President; Cynthia Hanson, First Counselor; Phee Crosland, Second Counselor; and Annavelyn Wilcox, Secretary. These years have covered the many adjustments made during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reed Swann and his daughter Penny drove to Donnelly, ID, to the home of his son Charles and Sarah Swann. The family occasion was the ordaining of Charlie’s oldest son, David, to the office of a deacon in their LDS Ward.
The heavy snows we have been receiving make us very conscious of weight on the roofs of homes, sheds and barns. So far only one cave-in has been reported. When the walks and parking areas are cleared of snow, no matter the age of those willing individuals, they are considered “snow angels” by the rest of the community. We appreciate the efforts of the state highway and county road crews that keep our roads open for our travel. The flashing lights and sound of a heavy snow plow at midnight or 4 a.m. is welcome in this season.
This is a season where our favorite outdoor tool is the simple shovel. It is nice if the tractor or the pickup with its front blade will start in the sub-zero temperatures. The starting of the shovel power is more constant, unless the object to be removed is frozen solid. Just another challenge.
The family of Dr. Kerry Jepsen and his wife Melinda, have returned from an extended vacation trip to Europe. Prior to making their home in Mink Creek they were a military family. Dr. Jepsen was a surgeon in the U. S. Air Force and the family made their home in Germany while he was deployed to various locations during those years. This was a trip to reconnect with the places they enjoyed, the environment and overall lifestyle, remembering and meeting with old friends. It is good to have them home again in Mink Creek.
