Yesterday we had a freak storm. As we were leaving for church there were monstrous black clouds over the mountains behind our house. Thunder rumbling, and a storm approaching. We get to church early as always (I have many things to do before church). Five minutes before church starts there are maybe 15 people total in the chapel. We start the services and people slowly started to come in. We soon discovered a major hail storm had happened and people were stuck in their cars along side the road or stuck in their houses. At the church we didn't get any of the storm.



Steve went home during Sunday school to put dinner in the oven and to check on the house.
There were plies of hailstones along the side of the roads. Gutters over flowing and all the plants in our yard destroyed. I am not very good with the living green stuff. I decided to give it a try again this year. In fact as we left for church I thought how pretty the flowers looked. I thought maybe they would stay alive this year. Only to find out after church there is nothing left but stems. I think Heavenly Father is telling me to stay away from green plants.

We had to shovel the hail stones off the deck . If fact there a still piles of stones left this morning. What a wild day. More wild weather predicted for today.



Miranda and Jana just got back from Martin's Cove. Their Youth Conference was this pass Thurs-Saturday. They pulled handcarts for 10 miles, did the women 's pull, crossed the Sweet Water River chest deep, got rained and hailed on, ate cold food, their tent broke, walked through mud, yet had a wonderful experience. They were very tired when they got home. Very grateful for their warm beds, showers and hot food. They said they would do it again. That's all from our corner of the world. Love you all Ann and Steve
