Disclaimer-please be advised that I have become a slacker recently so I have not updated our Blog in the past few weeks. As a result I have included numerous pictures of personal events with very little narrative. Basically the pictures will have to speak for themselves.
"Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. there seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we (me) often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting the heavenly virtue of patience is required.
The counsel heard in our youth is still applicable today and should be heeded. "Hold your horses," "Keep your shirt on<" "Slow down," "Don"t be in such a hurry," "Follow the rules," "Be careful" are more than trite expressions. They describe sincere counsel and speak the wisdom of experience."

The Mission's new home for bikes awaiting assignment.
Elders Mouser and Solomon live in the VISA Waiter apartment.
It is our fall back house when we are in need of temporary housing.
The problem is that oftentimes it becomes a repository of unclaimed property needing a home. Fortunately for us the Elders were able to identify the surplus and we were on our way to Deseret Industries to share the treasures with those who would appreciate them.
Jill, Mason and Jackson, our dare devils.

Missionary housing in Oakley, ID
Missionary housing is difficult to find no matter where you look.
However, we were lucky enough to have members offer living quarters on the second floor of a three story house built in 1904. It was originally built to house General Authorities as they passed through Idaho while on assignment.
One of the first churches built in Oakley, ID around 1900. Now condemned.
More missionary housing-this time in Albion, ID
Getting ready for Halloween in Rupert, ID
