Easter Weekend

This passed weekend was one where good memories were made. Elder and Sister Graham Doxey are here for the week. Lloyd and I had dinner at their home Friday evening. Over the last year, we have gotten to know them and consider them friends. After breaking bread together, we viewed a video tape that was made back in 1982 when they started making improvements to this property. The first missionary couple here in 1982 did not even have running water, but had to climb a hill with a bucket to get their water. About 2,000 trees have been planted, walking paths created, flowers planted, restrooms added, and miles and miles of white fences put in. At the same time, they have been able to keep it looking like this is the way it has been since Adam was here.
On Saturday we received guests in the form of the Eliasons and Worleys. We were in the same ward thirty years ago with the Eliasons and have added many happy memories to each others' lives. The Worleys are from our home stake and Lloyd had set them apart as missionaries to Honk Kong where they served alone side the Eliasons. These two couple became friends and have traveled out here to visit historic sites. We had them here for Saturday and Sunday. We showed them around here and then took them to Far West and Liberty Jail.
When I was a Girl Scout I learned a song that went "Make new friends, and keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold." We truly consider the Worleys new good friends and the Eliasons are some of our golden ones.
