The Edholm's Adventures

Sunday, November 9, 2014

Brian and I went on a date last night to the thriving metropolis of Greybull. It's about 35 minutes north of Worland and has around 1800 people. I have been asking around about places to go and do things and someone suggested a restaurant in Greybull that is an old speakeasy. It was pretty cool and very authentic. The hotel was once a center of bootlegging and there are still tunnels underneath it where they would run the alcohol so as to not get caught. The food was just average, but I've come to not expect fabulous restaurant food here and it wasn't bad. The drive was about like driving to Salt Lake except it wasn't! The time was about the same, but the drive was much more relaxing than driving I-15!

Before we went to Greybull we went to a wedding of one of Brian's employees. He was married at the LDS church by the bishop. It was a small short sweet wedding. Both the bride and groom used to live in Alpine Utah and now live here in Worland. It's amazing how many people have ended up here who never thought about moving to Wyoming!

Andy did well in his two basketball games even though his team lost both games. In the game against Powell they lost by 23 points! They had two players who were over 6 feet tall in 8th grade! Andy was assigned to guard the one guy who was probably 6'4"! He did a great job and made a bunch of points, but it was nearly impossible to beat this team. I don't know what they are feeding those kids in Powell!

The primary program was amazing today! It was probably one of the best I've seen. The kids were so reverent sitting up on the stand and all of them sang! They didn't have them sit in their classes, but had the older kids sitting among the younger ones. There were very few teachers sitting up with their classes and the kids did great! It was Eric's last primary program and he said he was glad! I love the feelings of the Spirit when the children sing. It's the best sacrament meeting of the year!

We got a call from the bishop today and Andy and I get to speak next Sunday in church! Andy is not happy about that fact at all! I'm speaking on Elder Robbins conference talk, "Which Way Do You Face". I also got extended a calling today, but I won't be sustained until next Sunday so you will have to just wait until next week to find out what it is! Ha!

Brian looked at the weather forecast for the upcoming week:
