The youth of the community were challenged at a recent activity. This was learning about repelling down sheer cliffs which they put into practice at the Paris ice caves. Those harnesses can look pretty flimsy when it comes time to step off the ledge. It is a wonderful lesson of trusting the person who is assisting in the descent. There ended up being a good sized group. Those participating were: Kurt Iverson, Bishop Paul McKay, Miles Erickson, Jacob and Jared Cheney, Devlyn Currie, LaRon, Orrin and Dallon Baird, Jared, Morgan and Danny Keller, Young Women Pres. Claudine McKague, and Jyllian and Greenlee Christensen. One of the Preston North Stake Young Men leaders also participated, Grant Conrad, who teaches Seminary at PHS. Some of the youth were unable to take part due to obligations at school and other activities. Bishop McKay had brought snacks and food to make a perfect outing.
The young men of the Deacon’s quorum were at a campout up the canyon on Williams Creek so they took advantage of their timing and joined the repelling group, then returned to finish up their camp.
Once a Mink Criker, always a Mink Criker—Bill Despain has made several recent visits here. He now lives in Fielding, UT, with his brother and wife, but is most welcome in many homes in Mink Creek. Bill even called on a few homes, and finding the house under new ownership, made new friends.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox have had children and grandchildren popping in and out these past few weeks. Perhaps they are taking turns. Brigham Wilcox and some of his children have been down from Idaho Falls, Ami Fenton and family were up from Tooele, UT. Elise and Jeff Hardy brought some of their family with when the came from North Ogden.
Two Jepsen sisters have stopped in. Marilyn and Bob Godfrey, up from Arizona, and JoAnn and Kevin Auger, who live in Woodland Hills, UT.
We have had some quick afternoon storms come rushing up the valley, accompanied by strong winds. Thunder and lightning have rattled a few homes, but no direct hits at this point, happy to report.
A few trees have shown some color changes, we hope there are a lot more to come.
