There has been some changes in leadership of the Mink Creek Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On April 23rd Trevor Rasmussen was released as the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric and was called to be a High Councilman in the Preston North Stake. Miles Erickson was sustained as the new 2nd Counselor to Bishop Paul McKay. Kurt Iverson was released as a High Councilman from the Mink Creek ward. The following week the Elder’s Quorum Presidency was released. The new leaders sustained are Bret Rasmussen, president; Wynn Costley, 1st counselor; Jesse Wilcox, 2nd counselor; and Jeff E. Olson, secretary. Those released with a vote of thanks for work well done are Clare Christensen, president; Clifford Jensen, 1st counselor; Brint Phillips, 2nd counselor; and Miles Erickson, secretary.
Rhonda and Ray Tinker of Casper, WY, spent an afternoon with Claudia and Bob Erickson. Rhonda and Claudia are cousins, but it has been several years since they were able to be together. Genealogy is a hobby for both and it was fun to share.
Elder Dallon Baird, son of LaRon and Liesa Baird, is home on a temporary medical leave from his field of missionary labors in Arizona. He has experienced several concussions and it is hoped this time will allow him to heal more effectively.
The new home on the Hugh and Bonnie Hansen farm has enjoyed family visitors recently. Pat and Dirk Bowles of Fairview came up and were surprised at the depth of snow still in the area. Wes and Heather Hansen drove up from Ogden, UT, for a weekend, glad to find an approachable driveway.
The birthday of Judy Clark was a good reason to celebrate. We miss her since she has moved to Preston. Her daughter Kim and Sam Daines, now of Lehi, UT, came back to Mink Creek for some extra friendship time.
With a few warmer days the snow is slowly retreating. In some areas it has been sufficient for some spring planting to take place in the fields. It makes for late hours on farm machinery when more wet weather is in the forecast, but it has always been the way of life on a farm. The weather dictates activities around the clock and calendar.
The color of green, always so prevalent in Mink Creek during spring and summer, is finally taking over. It feels extra wonderful due the delay we have had with the lengthy winter. Our oldest residents cannot recall one such as this.
