Mighty Deer Hunters

Well Zac and CJ had a BANNER YEAR hunting.

They each got a nice 4 point. Zac got his on Sunday (2nd day of the hunt) and CJ got hers a day later.
Zac's measured 21 wide and 19 tall. The horns were big and thick.


CJ's measured 24 wide and 19 tall. The horns were thinner, and not as well established. Probably a younger deer. She actually killed it with ONE SHOT - way to go CJ !!!

Landon is gone.....


When we got to the MTC, we were ushered off to a side (covered walkway area) to drop of luggage, then directed around the front of the building to the main entrance, where the missionaries went in one door to get their badges and instructions, and the parents/family went in the other door. Then Landon came over and I got to put his badge on him. It was neat. We went down the hall to a BIG chapel (more like a cultural hall, but we were told it was dedicated as a chapel). The room was about half full, but because there were only 3 of us (I think), the usher directed us up front, and we actually got to sit on the very front row !! This proved to be a good? thing..........because a nice man came up to Landon, and asked him to give the opening prayer !!?!?! Can you believe it ?? It was special, because when he introduced him, he said, "And the opening prayer will be given by Elder Landon Rich, from Morgan Utah, who will be entering the Peru Lima North Mission. It was a short sweet program, we got to sing Called to Serve, and also watch a short video of the same name. Then it was time to part, and they told us to use the band-aid approach. Quick...........and painless. We did just that, with a couple of hugs, some "I Love You's and no tears, and grins from ear to ear. He went one way, we went the other, and that was that. As we were driving away, Roger said, "Well, 730 days left to go"...........now THAT is depressing :(............... but no worries :) (now where have we all heard that?)

Special Day


Early Saturday morning (September 2) , Landon and Gwen headed to Provo to the Missionary Mall. We went up over Heber and down Provo Canyon and made it there in one hour and 10 minutes !! We picked up 4 pair of slacks, 8 ties, 12 socks, 1 pair of shoes, an electric shaver, a pillow protector, and a battery charger. After all of that, they threw in a free tie, a little flag of Peru, and a $10 gift certificate to a restaurant across the parking lot, which we used while waiting for Landon's pants to be hemmed. Then we headed for the Salt Lake Temple, and met Erika there. Landon was impressed with the beautiful rooms, and the live session. Afterwards, we met up with Tiana, and Landon was able to baptize and confirm all of us for about 30 people. What a special day !!
