 Can you find your son here?

 This one's for you Brother Johnson!
 They even make their beds!

 Bird's-eye view.

 Every Young man gets a locker and a bunk.
This is where the Work Crew lives. The Wind Tunnel. You'll have to ask your son why it's called the Wind Tunnel :)

Last night the Work Crew was set apart as Work Crew and Pageant missionaries by the Pageant Presidency. Brothers Guthrie, Holbein, and Acevedo assisted Brother Hess, Brother Hilton, President Schwendiman, President Bjorling, and President Hare in the setting apart of each of their "brothers". It was a beautiful thing. Sorry, no pics of that event. All of you parents would have been very proud of your son(s).




Sunday we all went to the Smith log home where Joseph Smith was visited by the angel Moroni. We took the opportunity to read the account of those visitations in the upper room of the home. All 30 of us managed to squeeze into the upstairs room and take turns reading the account form Joseph Smith's History. It was a very meaningful experience. The Work Crew then made the 4 mile walk to the Hill where Joseph met with Moroni and wa allowed to see the plates for the first time. I think the YM gained a deeper appreciation for what Joseph Smith sacrificed to serve the Lord.
