The Brinkerhoffs leave. Sniff.

Well, our new friends Eric & Colene Brinkerhoff left us today.   They have been on their mission for 18 months and it was time for them to go home.  It was a really sad time for me.   We had one family camping here but after 2 whole days of rain they decided they were done and went home early. 
                We get our new couple tomorrow but I don’t know what time.  They are the Johnsons and are from California and that is about all I know right now.
                After the Brinkerhoffs left, I went through the house to see what was there and discovered they had left 3 suits in the closet by accident.  Colene called tonight and I asked her about them and she was going to put them in the car at the last minute and she had forgotten.  I will mail them to her
                SLC FM group came through the camp tonight with Bishop Katz – our fearless leader – to look at things.   Everyone was quite worried about the impression they would get but the camp was just beautiful.   Bishop Katz wants to build 9 more cabins here – donated labor and materials – and they have a problem with that.  We have tent pads but the tents are worn out with holes in the tops.   Each tent costs $1,500 to 2,000 to replace.   Donated time and materials for the cabins would be $0.  (shrug)    When the FM group asked who would keep up the cabins I raised my hand meaning the volunteer missionaries who keep up the place. 
                I found out that there is 40 acres of grass here.  I think Tim has mowed 30 acres so far.  I am learning and relearning the office as I need to teach someone next week how to work the office with me.

                Tomorrow I get to learn how to set up reservations on the church web site!  I sure hope I can do this as it would make our life so much easier here!  

Lets go on a Service Mission!
