My Oh My Time  does fly!   So much has happened in the past weeks!

The most exciting activity of the past month was our Family Reunion at Big Sky Montana!  It was so great to be with all who came! Allen's Family,all 7 of them.  Joy's family, Joy & the three girls,  Darece's Family; Ken, Whitney, Kaitlyn, Talon, Rosie, Lucy & Lexie; Bo, McKenzea, Athena & 3 week old Conner;  Vicki, Bryan, Chris;  Micah, Kirena, Emerson & Cozy!   We so enjoyed having all of your there,  We know the rest of you would have liked to be there too but understand you all have schedules to meet as life moves on. Big Sky next year is Aug 4 - 11  2018

During the past month we have been many places, 2 wards in Cody, a Bozeman YSA ward, the Gardiner & Ennis branches in Montana,  While we were on each of these trips we also did other training!   A special experience from the YSA ward; after viewing the Promised Blessings of Family History video, a young man responded, "I want all of them & to think they are available right here using this" & he held up his smart phone.  Ennis & Gardiner are small branches, Gardiner has a beautiful little chapel up on the hill above town, with only a handful of members, the rest of those attending 20-30 were tourists traveling thru the area!

Then on Saturday, we headed to the eastern side of the area we serve in, to Newcastle, Wyoming, staying with Ron Moody, a Lovell native. Since it was only 60 miles more to Mt Rushmore we decided to visit there also!   So very amazing! We live in the most wonderful country, I'm so very grateful for it! I have included a few pictures, I loved the flags leading up to the viewing area - believe it or not, we did take a selfie.  As you can see it was rainy for 10-15 minutes, but then let up & was sunny!  



A 600 mile plus wkend our longest so far! We had a wonderful time with the, Newcastle ward with a new Bishop. We spoke in Sacrament mtg then presented the Gatherers in the Kingdom ppt trg materials second hr then did hands on trg using the FS Tree app 3rd hr. There were about 50 people including teens these two hrs of trg. A wonderful spirit and excitement was felt in all the meetings!  They have a TFHConsultant that is actually using the apps, she was trained by the HC man we trained last fall.

We have had weekly fishing trips to the lake - and even caught a few fish! The lake is right at full level and more free of trash now. The fishing will get better now the level is stable and the water is clearing.  Each day is filled with new & exciting things.  It is wonderful to serve & help people!
Love to all of you!
