7/12/2013

Whew! After three weeks of record breaking heat we finally got a break - a break in the temperature that is, in fact this morning I had to turn the furnace on (partly because my companion insists on leaving the window a little bit open) so now I can enjoy being outside and enjoying that part of the Ensign Ranch experience.

We had a surprise visitor show up at our door on  Wednesday - it was Wes and Lucus. We'd known they were coming sometime but didn't know exactly when.  They were stopping by on their way to his Grandmothers birthday celebration. They spent the night and got to enjoy the water slide experience,  the canoes on the lake, and floating down the river on tubes. We have actually shared those tubes with others and they have the experience very much.

Today one of our young Elders was asked to speak in church. He did a great job of giving a talk my wife wrote for him. He was so stressed out about it that she offered to help and ended up writing most of it.

This last few weeks, we've had over 1500 people be able to enjoy the property that we have been diligently doing our part to make it what it is.

A car was donated to the ranch. The next day I was asked to go to town with the manager to be his second in transporting money to the bank. Besides traveling at 50 miles per hour down Hundley Road, he had ample time to tell me about how difficult it is to work with the SLC  people to obtain the permission to even own the truck as a piece of equipment that will only be used on the property. It just seems like something you might think would be easy - becomes complicated. Lots of bureaucracy and red tape.


Time for me to take my nap - all is well - love - Dad
