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.

Sorry for the delay Moms and dads...the internet haqs been down for a couple of days.

Since I last posted the Work Crew has done amazing things. They almost have the entire stage up and framed and today their goal is to have everything but the rubber matting complete. This puts them ahead of schedule! YEAH! Here's what has happened in the last two days. AMAZING!

And here we are on our first nightly devotional, after a very long day. Can you find your son?  Tomorrow they start building! It is an amazing process, so check back for the progress.

OK moms...here are your boys! They all arrived safely and with only a few delays and lost bags, we got them to the Hill. They are a good looking bunch! we put them to work and got our trainng done, despite some VERY tired Young men. Don't they look Terrific? As you can see they have already grown to love Brother Hilton...the Work Crew assistant.

The District Leaders hard at work.

Brother Phelon...the work horse. He does amazing things with a forklift!

Well, here we are again at the Hill. The District Leaders have arrived and they are now busy at work. They are sooooooo excited to be here and to serve the Work Crew. They are terrific! we can't wait for the rest of the Crew to arrive tomorrow.
Brother Brooks, Brother Holbein, Brother Guthrie, Brother Gneiting.
