Of mice, men, horses, badgers, floods, old friends, and new friends









So, the day before I left Provo, I get a call from Dana Verdugo. He's in Provo! I decide to take a couple hour detour from Murray to go down and eat at IN-N-OUT there in Provo with him. Dana was a young man I met on my mission. He was sitting on the fence about serving a mission, and Elder Cronk and I took him out with us a couple of times to go teaching. I guess it had a big impact on him because he remembers me and wanted to thank me. It was so so so so so good to see him!
I said my goodbyes to Gust, Ryker, and Scott (my room-mates) and headed up to Idaho, but wait! I had to take a detour through Logan for some excellent Thai food with some old friends (Daniel, Parker, and Dillon). Beautiful place! I laughed out loud with joy when I smelled the dairy. It had been a while since I had smelt the rural goodness the world has to offer. I sure do enjoy being able to see the stars at night and not hearing the constant whirr of cars!
I'm at Badger Creek again, having a great time! We've been plagued with flooding and mosquitoes this year, but the experience is so worth it! Its probably my favorite place on planet earth. I've had two OYA groups already (we won the firebird award for both, yeah yeah!) and my little sister is probably going to come up in mid-August, which I am really excited about!
