23 June 2018 - Saturday

Is it just me or is the month of June flying by?  Mom and I had the Wilma detail today.  That is the power washing of the restrooms and the monuments.  After our morning prayers and scripture reading, we got ready for the early appointment start time that began at 6:00am.  Our reasoning with the early hour is to get a jump on the trekkers coming out from the Cherry Creek campground.  There were four groups that were heading home today.  The Rigby 16th ward of about 90 trekkers, and the other three groups were all over 160 trekkers each.  We thought they all might be anxious to experience hot showers and clean clothes.....

Here is that bad girl, Wilma!

We were so on top of our cleaning game this morning.  We were over half way done by 8:30am!  We decided to attend the correlation meeting and then finish the rest of the assignment.  The time at the correlation meeting, we thought, would help clear out the campground where we were scheduled to clean half the restrooms and then move to the trail restrooms.  

However, there was the one group with one of the Piano Guys who took a little longer at the campground with a testimony meeting.  Their group had over 225 trekkers and I can only imagine the special spirit that must have been present at that testimony meeting!  They put a lot of effort into making this experience special for their youth.  We waited at the campground for almost two hours before we could finish our project, and those young people were worth the wait!

We got done with our assignment at 1:30pm and headed for a district assignment to clean the Pavilion here at Missionary Village.  We finally got back to the trailer at 3:30pm and began the weekly wash cycle for our laundry.  We cleaned the trailer last night so that we could have this evening free!  Now we have no assignments tomorrow or Monday so we can recharge our service batteries.

As we were coming in to the Missionary Village, we had some greeters!  They love to play around with the missionaries until we get too close!  Mom and I sure like seeing these little ones hopping on all fours as they play in the field.
