Jamie, KyLee, Mykenze, Ashley, Madyson, & Caydon
Jamie's family came to visit conference weekend. We had a great time listening to conference and doing some site seeing! We went to Black Canyon Saturday afternoon. Then we went to a farm and the kids and KyLee and Jamie fed lambs, (silly me did not take my camera) KyLee put some cute pictures on Facebook. Today we went to Grand Junction and did a little shopping and then went through the Colorado National Monument Park, it was better then the Grand Canyon, it was beautiful!! I will add some pictures.
Week of March 26th through March 30th
Had a great week had some wonderful visits with a lot of the less active members from both wards.
Another picture from our District meeting on Thursday. We love our Elders! They are all hard working, they even decided to bring work clothes in the trunks of their cars in case they run into people who could use service.
We did two service projects on Friday, I love the gardening part! Fun to get out and dig in the dirt!

Saturday March 24, 2012
We had such a wonderful day, we were able to visited with 5 different families! They are so many wonderful people here in Delta. We are so excited to be able to be here serving and loving members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! We are also teaching some part member families. The work is so exciting! We love being here! We had a great salad at a members home the other night that I think some of you will love! You take a piece of lettuce put in on a small plate, slice a ripe avocado, and then put some grapefruit slice and then a small amount of Dorothy Lynch dressing. I don't like grapefruit and I loved this salad. The grapefruit was already sliced you find it in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. We had a fun time with a less active family last Tuesday night they invited us to do to dinner with then at a FFA fund raiser. They were serving Rocky Mountain Oyster (I did eat part of one) and thank goodness for chicken strips!! Was very interesting, we had a great time with the family!
The whole week was amazing!!

Week of March12th
We had a wonderful week visiting with some great people. We had a cancellation for our would have been our first teaching appointment on Friday night the family was sick, but we are invited back for this next week.
On Friday and Saturday we were able to help 3 families with service projects. Friday we helped drive fence posts and repair fence for a couple that had 3 determined horse's. They wanted out all the time.
Saturday went spent the morning with a great family "banding" sheep (I will be putting pictures on) Gary and I had the easy jobs!! The Elders had a great learning experience!!
Saturday at 10am we helped a wonderful family out with some yard work (I actually wore out of pair of gloves), we did not get to finish that project we ran out of rock. We will be returning to help finish the job.
Both of these marvelous families had fixed lunch for us of course we could not be at both, but we were invited back to the one we could not make for another time.
Weather has been great we have been walking every morning are up to 2.35 miles!!:)
We ran into the nicest man at Walmart he took a good look at my name tag and read it to me!:)
Then he asked if we were the "Mormons" than he said I know you would rather be called LDS.
Was a fun visit. He was a farmer and was telling us he had been on the tractor the day before from 7am until 9pm. WOW, I remember my dad doing that very thing!

We are so excited for this week, we have teaching appointments everyday! We are getting busier and that is great. We love this area and the people, they are so friendly and easy to get to know. We have several service projects coming up for this weekend, Gary loves getting out of his suit and into Levis to help with whatever it maybe. This week he will be setting fence post and banding sheep. We both will be helping to dig out a flower garden (to my dismay). Too hard to keep watered here I suppose.
We also just found out that we are losing one set of our Elders so both wards will be sharing us and the Elders that are left here. It will be interesting to see how this will work out.
We can hardly believe we have been out a whole month already the time is flying by!
On Monday we went to the Black Canyon, it was beautiful will be adding some pictures soon. Did not get to see much of it too much snow there yet.

We are so blessed to be well taught by our 8 young men in our district. This are 8 young men ages 19 to 21 who teach us how to be better missionaries! Yesterday we learned the importance of how to improve our teaching skills. Learning how to adjust our teaching according to the needs of the people we are teaching the by listening to the spirit. We also learned how to recognize and understand the spirit we were given a wonderful formula it goes like this:
Seek + Ask + Knock + Holy Ghost = Baptism. We invite people to act. Faith will grow as they repent, obey the commandments and make and keep covenants.
Next week we are all assigned to give a 5 minute talk on one of the Saviors attributes, that should be very uplifting.
I will take a picture of them and put in on the blog next Friday.

Zone Conference
We spent the day in Zone Conference at Grand Junction. It was wonderful President and Sister Maynes taught us well, along with some of the young Elders. It was so wonderful to hear them bear witness of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They taught about "Integrity". The following are two of the thoughts that came through loud and clear.
"The level of our Integrity is the measure of our "character".
"Becoming men and women of Integrity is "The Whole Purpose of Mortal Life"!
We are so grateful to be in the mission field doing the Lord's work and pray that we will be full of integrity.
We love you all so much and pray that all is well with all of you!
