Bull Fever is in full swing

in Vernon, Arizona.

Sheri's quote of the day:

"Belief and testimony and faith are not passive principles.  They do not just happen to us.  Belief is something we choose - we hope for it, we work for it, and we sacrifice for it.  

We will not accidentally come to believe in the Savior and His Gospel any more than we will accidentally pray or pay tithing.  We actively choose to believe just like we choose to keep other commandments."

-Elder Whitney Clayton

We spent the morning communicating with our realtor, Jen, regarding the buyers offer and our counter-offer.  We finally agreed on a price, and then it took over two hours to fax all of the paperwork to Jen.  It's one of the liabilities of living in the country - slow internet.

After the ordeal of waiting two hours we took a break and went to the Stanford store to get gas, a drink for me, and some peanut M&M's.  

We went on a Razr ride and saw a big bull elk in a clearing across from "the Pit."  We forgot the camera so we didn't get any pictures.  James is pretty good with his elk call.  He's made alot of friends in the forest.

Speaking of the pit, this is Jared on the swing

above the pit.  This picture was taken

on September 5, 2015.

This evening we watched a Hallmark movie called, "The Backyard Wedding."  The annoying, red-haired lispy girl that I don't like starred in this one.

A very alarming thing is going on in our world right now.  Refugees in Syrian,  Christians, are fleeing their country by the millions because of ISIS.

Merilee Bogle Cameron is baking cookies to raise money for

these refugees.  Leave it to a Bogle to take action and do something for someone else.  They take after their mom, Betty, one of the most kind and compassionate people I know.
