Hi everyone:

It has been awhile since I have written on our blog site because the internet here at Martins Cove is hard to get. We are 60 miles from any town and are in the middle of Wyoming cattle country. We love it here though and are so happy to be here.

The picture of the deer was taken out our kitchen window. There are about 15 deer who are always roaming around our house and the property. We are getting quite attached to them.

The picture of my gross arm was taken a couple of days ago. I fell three weeks ago on some ice that was tracked into the mall in Casper. I fell on my elbow and broke it. The had to operate on it and wire the elbow back together and put a titanium plate in it and attach that with 6 screws. I am doing well now and started physical therapy yesterday. I am out of the cast and am wearing a splint from my fingers to my shoulder. I hope I don't have to wear it for very long.

Elder Warr is busy doing repairs and maintenance here at the Cove. He remodeled the porch around the office and it looks great. Now he is busy getting the handcarts painted that they built this winter. There are about 320 handcarts here that the trekkers pull around the trails in the summer. We are getting excited for them to get here. By the first of May there will be about 65 missionary couples here. 15 will go 60 miles over to the Willie site and the other 50 couples will be here.

I will try to post more pictures as the weather gets better. It is in the 50's today and three days ago it was -22 degrees. The weather changes so fast here. You never know from day to day how it will be.

Love, Mom & dad, Elder & Sister Warr

P.S. If you haven't read the book "Fire of the Covenent" by Gerald Lund you need to get it. It is an incredible story and really lets you know the struggles of the handcart pioneers.
