This was a fun day for mom and me as we spent it with the Ramsey's. We had our p-day, today, and we were not having the daily correlation meeting at the Homestead because of the Trek Leader Training. So we had a wonderful, un-rushed, morning breakfast together, and then we went down to Martin's Cove for a tour of the trekking trails. Mom showed them the trekking videos and then we took a mission rover and drove to the key sites along the trails.

The Ramsey's have been here before, but we were able to take them on some of the back trails to get an even closer look at Martin's Cove. It was also our privilege to share some of the wonderful and sacred stories of the pioneers. These experiences that the pioneers had here are so precious and significant to our Church history. What a privilege it is to share these stories, and these experiences, with family members and special friends!
Our time here in at Martin's Cove, with the Ramsey's, took about an hour and a half. We went to the statues, and drove up to the top of the Cove, and then down along side Dan W. Jones Cove. There were lot's of stories and experiences to share! On our way back to the Homestead, we had a quiet and thoughtful ride. There is so much to understand and digest coming into this sacred area.
The Ramsey's drove their truck and we headed off to Casper by 11:00am. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Pizza Ranch. The food was excellent and we had some great conversations! The next stop we made was at Sam's Club. Mom and I always enjoy our shopping trips to Sam's! But guess what they had on display today?

Keith was all smiles when he took this massage chair for a spin. This chair is so kind to every muscle in the human body! I did not dare expose my body to this chair today. It would have been more than I could have handled! As it was, Keith's exposure almost yielded a purchase! It was fun to shop this afternoon and walk off the meal we had just shared at Pizza Ranch.
We got back to Missionary Village at around 3:00pm. The skies were starting to cloud over and we even got some rain on the way home! When you see the different cloud formations that are constantly on display here in Wyoming, you can't help but know there is a Supreme Being who is in charge of the universe!

Our evening with Keith and Bev was so relaxing and fun. They shared with us a new numbers game that mom and I picked up rather quickly. Then, after the game was over, they gave it to us as a present. It will be fun to play this when we get home. Tomorrow we have our Sunday school lesson from the book of Job. Mom and I are excited to share the points of the lesson with our fellow missionaries. We have asked the mission, through a written invitation, to read the material and join us in discussion tomorrow. I am looking forward to the response!
Keith and Bev will stay for our lesson and then for the pot luck luncheon. They will also stay for a fireside with Jolene Allphin right after our meal. She will be giving the one hour fireside for the missionaries at 2:00pm. She is the author of the book, "Tell My Story, Too".
Sounds like a great day!! It seems like more than a week has passed since we were there. What a wonderful time we had. So glad you’re enjoying your friends. We are praying for your lesson and can’t wait to hear about it!❤️
ReplyDeleteSo fun that the Ramsey's could come visit! I would love to hear Jolene again! I really liked her. Such a neat lady! Sounds like you're in for a wonderful Sabbath Day!! ❤️
