August 15-16: We were at Bethany’s home near Moore ID. Their home has lots of potential, but currently represents a lot of work. It was good to see them with plenty of ground for their animals and their kids. We went on a drive to a near-by reservoir. It is a beautiful, lush area that is surrounded with mountains and blessed with lots of water. We actually saw a Momma Moose and her calf. Our Sunday service with them was sweet. The family video chat that followed was one of our best. the Shirley family was on holiday in Germany, but were able to join us. I’m so grateful for technology! We took the kids to check out two nearby parks that afternoon.

17: Payson Temple opened in phase two today. That means all living ordinances can be
scheduled by appointment. We
visited the Crater of the Moon monument first thing.
Sarah-Jane has her new flipper tooth. She was quite excited to show me how it worked. She knocked her front permanent tooth out a few weeks prior while helping work the cattle down at Randel's grandmother's ranch.
The little canal on their property provides hours of fun .
CRATERS OF THE MOON!
These beautiful flowers were growing in the volcanic soil. There was still snow in the bottom of one of the mini-volcanic mound. Day time temperatures were triple digit, suggesting it was deep and narrow.
THat is a cool place!
