Thursday morning we had a visitor at the Mission Office.

Thursday night the APs invited us to have dinner with them to celebrate April birthdays. 

From left to right: Elders Payne, Bonny, Mejia, and Hunsaker.

Fun fact: Robyn taught Elder Bonny and two of his sisters when they were in second grade.

This car was in the restaurant parking lot. 

The pipe by the front tire is the engine exhaust. Not sure about the metal can on top.

This winter scene greeted us yesterday morning -- on Good Friday. 

A verse from the hymn "The Wintry Day" seems appropriate: 

"Pale through the gloom the newly fallen snow

Wraps in a shroud the silent earth below

As  tho 'twere mercy's hand had spread the pall

A symbol of forgiveness unto all."

I love being the first to make footprints in freshly-fallen snow!

"Extreme weather gear" is much appreciated today.

There is a huge rabbit that scampers around the Mission Office parking lot. We noticed that the fur on the rabbit is changing colors. During the winter months rabbits have white fur, but it gradually turns to brown as spring arrives. Here are some footprints of our furry friend.

During the winter these rabbits are white. As spring arrives their fur changes to brown.
