Martin's Cove Site

We arrived here on the 23rd of April and have been very busy since then.  There is lots of training in the history of Martin's Cove, the Seminoe Fort, Devils Gate, Rattle Snake Pass, and all the requirements for Treking, visitors are plentyful and we have had our first day in the Visitors Center.
We gave a Spanish Book of Mormon to a traveling gentleman and an English Book of Mormon to a couple from Oregon.  Both books were well received and missionary referrals were filled out.
Last week all the missionaries used handcarts for their first Trek experience.  We didn't know if we could make the 7.4 miles, but we did; but renigged on the water crossing.  Maybe down the road we will try again when we accompany youth from various stakes.  Bernice did very well in the Womens Pull--The brethren have to stand by the side of the hill as the sisters pull/push the carts up the hill.  The brethren can not encourage, help, but can take pictures of the hard working sisters.
Today we painted picnik benches and the wind was competing with the benches or our clothes---red is not a color we like to wear.
Tomorrow is our trip to Six Crossing or the Willi's Handcart Site.  The site is about 65 miles from Martin's Cove and a new visitor center is in the making.  We will work there for the day and have a dinner on site before leaving to come back to our home which is "Missionary Village-Ranch 66".  Also we have a fireside with Jolene Allphin who wrote "Tell My Story Too".
More tomorrow.
