Just want to post that we are here in Wyoming again - beginning the 2012 summer season for another six months.  So far it has been a little different than in 2011.  We haven't had time to take nearly as many pictures so I will post those later.  Second the weather has been really, really different.  We are actually experiencing spring weather and not so much rain and snow.  This can be a good a bad thing - the area is so terribly dry that we are all drying out and have to have the vaporizer running at night.  We had so much rain last year we didn't need to water our little lawn until June - however now it looks really dead so we have started to water our little patch. 
We have a fantastic set of new missionaries who are so eager and talented.  Our little Branch Choir has 61 people in it.  Doubt that any ward can match that. 
Sister Starr is busy working on scheduling the weekly assignments for missionaries and soon we will train new missionaries at the Base Post and then the Trekkers will begin coming.  The time flies by so quickly here that we hardly get time to turn around each day.
Love serving - and we continue to learn new things each day.
Today Sister Starr took a young man and his mother from Brazil through the Visitor's center and out on the trail.  It was a really wonderful experience.
Elder Starr has been working on work crew a lot and getting the winter out of everywhere so the summer schedule can arrive.  He will train two couples assigned to us for Base Post and then help others learn their protocol on the rovers.
Thanks so much to everyone for your love and support.  I will include photos next time.  The animals are out - the cows are calving and soon the antelope will have their babies.  It has  been so warm that the snakes have come out already.
We think of everyone so often and send our love.
