Trip to Utah

The guys from Daniel's school went to the rodeo this weekend so they didn't have school on Friday. We have been wanting to go to Vernal to the temple and see the Gillmans (They are a couple who served with Daniel in Republic of Georgia) they had so much fun reliving there missions and talking about all the people there and i was kind of out of the loop but we still had a lot of fun. They have a small farm so Daniel was excited to get out and help with everything while we were there for the weekend. The Gillmans serve in the Vernal temple so after there shift on Friday we all went to a session and it was cool to see a different temple the Gillmans knew a lot of history about the Vernal temple that is really cool and we learned a lot. We have to go through Douglass pass it reminded me of the big horns and it was really pretty the roads where great and it was a really fun weekend.
Brother and sister Gillman, they are amazing people and we thank you so much for letting us come over and opening your home to us i know Daniel loved it as did I.
The beautiful Vernal temple.

on our way home on the interstate outside of Rawlins was really backed up we thought there was a wreck or something as sure enough there was a semi who hit another one and burnt to a crisp it was scary and i hope everyone was OK. For 30 min's we were going 0-15 miles an hour it was slow going but glad we made it home safe.

Daniel Climbing

Daniel had a rodeo at school today which is where they do different events so they did hurt man rescue(Which is where they climb up and lower a dummy they practice this just in case a man is hurt on the pull and they have to go rescue him), lowering a cross arm (This is where they lower the beam that is horizontal on the pull to change it out), and putting on ground(They put on grounds to protect them in case the power is turned on again and is safe to work on). They get judged on each event and then the top 6 guys get to go to Arizona to compete in a rodeo there. The weather was a little chilly with the wind blowing but we all had a good time still. This is hurt man rescue.

We had a video of Daniel doing hurt man rescue but we couldnt get it to work so we will try posting it again another day but we hope you enjoy all the pictuers.

State Wrestling

We got to go to Casper for state wrestling to watch Jacob. We had so much fun it was good to see everyone from Lovell and get to hang out with Jan all weekend. We missed Jacob's first match by like 5 min's we had bad roads at the first of our trip so we knew we where cutting it close to make it so Daniel was going 60 in a 40 and got pulled over he got out of the ticket he is so luck but we were so bummed we missed the match but we got to watch the next one he did a really good job and it was fun to get to watch him.










When we where driving home there are a lot of elk form Craig to Rifle co so i thought it would be fun to take a picture. They are pretty animals




Daniel went down with Jacob to warm up with him for his second match he thought that was so much fun .











They are wrestling in the very back by the doors.








The whole team
