Renewing our life in the Utah Mountains


General Conference Weekend arrived and we decided it was time to get up to the cabin and check out conditions. In January Mammoth Creek area had experienced record snowfall so we didn't know if we could get in or what we would find.

The day was sunny and warm and most of the snow surrounding the cabin had melted, making arrival easy, which, of course, added to the joy of opening that door for the first time in nearly two years and seeing and smelling all that was familiar about our little piece of heaven away from home!
Becky came up with little Audrey and we were also joined by her friends Kennedy Hymer and Kallen and Emily Kidder! Peter and Jill were also there before and after their trek to S.L. to Peter's missionary reunion.

No community water yet, of course, so we trucked buckets of water up from the river to flush toilets until our wonderful Mammoth Creek neighbor Glen Barker arrived and helped us get some well water into the house. By Monday we actually even had warm water (after fixing the only pipe break we could find!) and showers!! How wonderful to be in this magnificent setting to watch Conference, sustain a new Prophet and Counselors and spend time together.
