Training at the "Cove" & Church on a Reservation

Here we are at Devil's Gate. We went for a walk after our training on Saturday to check out Devil's Gate. It is a mile trail from the Visitors Center at Martin's Cove. On the way over it snowed on us. True to the saying that if you don't like the weather in Wyoming wait 5 minutes and it will change. The sky turned blue and we enjoyed the sun for a minute once we arrived.
Indian Legend says that a large wounded beast rammed it with it's horn and split the rock in two and went on thru.

We were up early Saturday for training at the Cove. Had to leave here at 6:00 am to be there at 7:00 am for breakfast. Cinnamon rolls, egg & ham burritos, biscuits and sausage gravy. It was so yummy. More that 200 of us were fed in two shifts, everyone was done for the meeting at 8:30. We sat in on a "Trek Leaders Seminar". Every group that comes to the sites has to send their trek leader prior for a Seminar. It was done so beautifully and the spirit was so strong. Lunch was Navajo Tacos and homemade chicken noodle soup and sandwiches.
The after noon meeting was with Elder Estes, who is our Mission president. He is over all the farmland missions. Changes are being made with our mission. Instead of it being under the Presiding Bishopric and farmland reserve, we will transition over to the Church Historical department. Not sure what all that will mean, but we will just go forward with faith. Elder and Sister Estes were wonderful.

Today, Sunday, we went to Fort Washakie for church. It is on a reservation. A little Branch that reminded me of being in Monticello New York on our last mission. We doubled the size of the branch because there were 9 of us missionary couples that visited. Afterwards we enjoyed a potluck dinner with the branch. We had all brought something to share. What a wonderful sweet spirit we felt as we worshiped with them.
