WOW!
What a great time we had!
We've been receiving pictures for the past 2 weeks,
and now I can post them all for you to see.
We counted up at the end of the day,
and there were 120 people in attendance
(although they came and went at different times and not all were in these pictures.)
Sister Lindley brought a beautiful pioneer quilt that she has been working on.
Note the cute handcart block on the left.
Sister Biggs was excited for lunch to start . . .
. . . weren't we all!
The Johnsons and the Mosers, 2 missionary couples who served with the Bushmans from 2015-2016, were the cooks for both of the reunions this weekend.
(That's Elder Erekson helping to carry the milk can.)
They cooked their specialty of veggies, ham, and sausage
in large metal milk containers . . .

. . . and then served it all in the "Hog Troughs."
It was yummy!
Thanks to Sister Lindsey for the delicious homemade rolls . . .
. . .and to the Ames for their incomparable homemade pies.
Note that there is no pic of the pies.
That's because they disappeared before anyone could take one!
Also note that Elder Ames is wearing his "Elder Smiley" name tag
even though he's not smiling here!
Over 100 people ate lunch under the big top.
Everyone had fun eating and renewing friendships.
We tried to get as many pictures as we could.
Elder Guymon, our expert photographer, took these pictures
as people talked about what's going on in their lives.

we had a visit from a Mama moose and her baby
down by where all the cars were parked.
Thank you once again for coming.
You were marvelous missionaries and amazing people,
and we love you all!
