January in Green River and Rock Springs

I think it's just about time for me to dust off the old camera and get busy again!  Not that we haven't been busy--I've just not been taking photos.  I should have, though, because it's been an eventful month since our return to the field on January 12th.

We had a few days in Laramie, and on Friday evening the 16th, the young folks in Laramie planned a skating party up at Vedauwoo.  It was DARK and BREEZY but a lot of fun.  Most of us skated in our boots because the ice was a little bumpy, but it worked.  Then after some skating, we sang hymns and other songs around the campfire while we roasted strawberry-flavored marshmallows and lil' smokies, drank cowboy coffee and hot chocolate and tried to melt the bottom of our shoes while standing in the embers!  Great fun.  Wish you could have been there.

On the 17th Jana and I left Laramie and came to Green River.  We've made the rounds of the friends here, thoroughly enjoying each and every one, and have had good contact visits as well.  We've had someone out to all our gospel meetings, except one, so far.  

This week we had the distinct pleasure of having some visitors!  Connie Combe and Robyn Hill came over from the Idaho field to our west and stayed a few nights.  Now they've returned and we made a day trip today to Salt Lake City for a little shopping.  Tomorrow we have more guests from Craig, CO coming for the weekend, along with a gymnastics tournament in Rock Springs, and a 2pm lunch with a couple ladies here in Green River.  Whew!  But we better enjoy it while we can as we leave for Laramie again soon after the 8th of February.  

So....there you have it, but sorry---without photos!  I'll try to do better next time.  Take care and thanks for checking in.
