HAPPY FATHERS' DAY !!

There isn't a lot of fanfare for Fathers' Day 
when you're far away from all your children . . . 

. . .  but visiting The Sinks was a fun little side trip last week.  An amazing amount of water rushes down the river and then disappears into a cavern that goes underground . . . 

. . . only to reappear about a quarter of a mile down the canyon in a calm and placid pool called The Rise where enormous fish live, protected from any fisherman's pole.

We also stopped for an ice cream cone at a little place in Lander 
where the tables and chairs were made of beautiful wood.

Happy Fathers' Day to both fathers and grandfathers!

Happy Fathers' Day to all our missionary fathers 

who are away from their children!

(It's a little handcart tie tack or lapel pin)

A great Fathers' Day gift for our missionaries was the added blessing today of having President and Sister Lorimer bring Elder Don R. Clarke of the Seventy with them to attend our block of meetings, our Pot Luck dinner afterward, and then to speak to us at the Trek Center for a little fireside!  

This is Elder and Sister Clarke, Brother and Sister Sheets, President and Sister Lorimer and us.  We always tell our missionaries to offer to take pictures of our guests with a handcart  so they will remember their visit to 
Mormon Handcart Historic Sites!
