Book of Mormon land tour
On June 18 ,201o we were to begin a tour of Book of Mormon lands with John Lund and his wife Bonnie. At our departure time, Delta cancelled the flight because of an oil leak, which left 61 people stranded at the Salt Lake air port. The president of Fun For Less went to work and reschuled all of us for flights to any where that could get us to Mexico city. We ended up flying to Dallas Tx. on American air lines. After a free nite in the Dallas Hilton we finally flew to Mexico city, just one day late and all our baggage lost at the Mexico city airport.
From Mexico city we flew to Villahermosa, then by bus to Palenque, to Usumacinta River and into Guatemala at Tikal. Next to Rio Dulee and Amitque Bay. We then crossed into Hondorus and the city of Copan. Then back to Guatemala City where we spent the nite after a visit to the Guatemala City temple. Our last travel day was to Kaminal Juyu and Lake Atitlan or the Waters of Mormon. A heavy rain stopped us at the half way point so we turned around and visited another city. With just one day of rain and sunshine as we visited all the ruins, it was a very sucessful trip. Garth and Maydene lost their baggage twice twice but in the end we arrived back in Salt Lake in fine condition.

Brothers
My brother Darwin and wife Margie came in from California so we had them all down for dinner, and pictures. Man aren't we a good looking bunch.
86 Candles
I had a great time celebrating my 86th (except for the fact that Ione was gone). I enjoyed listening to Conference and wondering if I am gonna still work at the temple long enough to work in the Brigham City temple. Debbie had me over for lunch, cake and ice cream with the whole family. I went over to visit Scott and Terra. And Paul and Nanci stopped in to say Happy Birthday. I even got emails from all the grandkids.We followed up with FHE at Garths place in Mt. Sterling, Carolyn and David were there from Texas. We took them all over to see Tori and Brian's new home.
What a great year it has been this is the first Birthday in a while that we have not been on vacation together. This year just Ione went with Helen to Mississippi to visit Tami and her new son Luke Daniel Boone, who was born October 1st. This makes 38 great grandkids.
