Yes on a brighter note... things have been going well in the Young Singles Branch that Paul and I work in. Now is the time of year when we lose so many young people going away to college. We haven't had very many young people added from the local university. We've still had good experiences. We had a lot of good summer Tri-Stake activities with good turn out for each month. June we went to Catherine Creek Lodge for a day filled with activities and a dance afterward. July we had a Pioneer Pentathalon in Pendleton. We had rotating pioneer activity stations and a lunch and awards. They threw Frisbees into a tire swing (buffalo chip toss), stick pull challenges, sack races, horseshoes, and handcart races. It was pretty fun! August we did service. Hermiston was in charge. We did outdoor service for the city of Stanfield, Oregon. I helped pull weeds in an old man's garden. Then we were served lunch. We went to a place called Warehouse Beach. It was a nice sandy beach off the Columbia River. We had a simplified Color Run on the beach and then swam in the river. It was a blast!
