Trip Home from Idaho: Fort Hall and Twin Falls

Pow Wow Grounds

We started a ride home early, and included an early visit to Grandpa to say goodbye.  He has been in the hospital.  We took a side trip to Fort Hall, where we priced beaded moccasins ($150-$700) and some art work, which was similarly priced; so we didn't get anything.  However I took some pictures inside the Hotel, and one at the trading post.
 
Below are a couple pictures of the temple.  I tried to drive so we could see the river from the north side.  A big mistake because the roads were not made for a van.  After gong a block, it was time to back out.  Sheri and Tony got out to guide my driving, but going backwards was difficult all the same.  Sheri and tony claim we almost tipped the van, but I wasn't that worried.  However Tony does say one wheel was off the ground.

Twin Falls Temple

Finally a couple pictures from the bridge which didn't turn out very well.  We were on the wrong side to catch a view of the river.  Sheri drove most of the way home.  I kept nodding off and didn't trust myself so gave the wheel to Sheri who drives faster anyway.  We were to Annie's house by 8:15.

We get food donated to us all the time.  These zucchinis were ginormous!

This house is in our area.  It reminds me of "The Series of Unfortunate Events"

Riding our bikes as fast as we can to get out of scary area before dark.  We made it!

I am borrowing these pictures for the mission group.

Miranda: Arriving in Twin Falls and Assigned to Burley

Miranda has arrived in Twin Falls.  She said the bus driver was confused and took them through Pocatello, adding an hour to their trip, but they arrived as you can see.  She is now serving in Burley.  Her area is two streets which are three or four miles long.  Her training companion is Sister Weiler.

Turns out Rachel Gass is in the same zone as Miranda.  They know each other from Young Womens in the Northland Ward.

Miranda Has Received her Call

It is official.  We had the Normans, the Peterson Jeremy and Kayla and Charity and Anthony here.  We also had Mark and Liz on skype and  also Natalia and Ty on skype.  Even Caleb was on the phone.  When Miranda read her call he heard Iowa so was very excited.  We are all excited because we drive through Miranda's mission on occasion, in fact we did so last week.
