Scout Snow Cave Winter Camp Feb. 8, 2014

Scouts Snow Caves

At last.....Inside the Snow Cave

Winter Camp on Feb. 7th & 8th, 2014 turned out to be a very cold camp, probably the coldest day of the year.
It was held on the Michels' property out near Phillips Lake between Sorrento and Chase. Their property had plenty of good snow to build snow caves.
The Scouts in attendance were, Richard & Preston Davis, Ales Taylor, Dillon Milligan, Gabriel Flemming, & Dillon Taylor (a Venturer)
Scouters' Russell Kearl, Tyson Knauf, Hans Michel, & David Wood attended and we were greatful to have Chris Milligan, Dillon's dad, there as well.

Brrrr....It's cold out there, but warm in here. True or False?

Time to Break up our Home

This is harder to break up than we thought it would be!

Caving it In!

A special thanks goes to Hans for using his tractor to make the huge piles of snow so that we could make the snow caves.
We made two caves but slept in only one of them.

Stephanie Cooks Baptism

Stephanie Cook was baptized on January 26th by Brother Randy Potrie.
She was confirmed the following Sunday by Elder Dane Erik Manly.

Terra Redwood gave the talk on baptism and Joy Eliason spoke about the Holy Ghost. It is so nice to have Stephanie and her four young boys in the Salmon Arm Ward.

Alex Taylor, Stephanie Cook's twelve year old son, was baptized on February 9, 2014 by Elder Dustin Blair Naylor.

He was confirmed the following Sunday by Bishop Bob Papworth.

Brother Russel Kearl gave the first talk on baptism, likening it to Pokemon, which of course really engaged all of the children.

After the baptism, Sister Shirley Lamothe spoke on the Holy Ghost and told a very nice story. She said that two weeks before, when Stephanie was baptized, the Holy Ghost whispered to her that she needed to prpare a talk on the Holy Ghost because Alex was going to be baptized really soon. She knew the missionairies were going to ask her to give the talk. Two days before Alex's baptism, the elders did indeed call Shirley.

She knew exactly what the missionaires were calling for. In fact, Shirley had already prepared the talk.

What a wonderful example of how the Holy Ghost works!
