FLOWER OF THE WEEK
Most all the wild flowers are yellow this time of year. Its amazing the number of flowers when the conditions are so hot and dry. This is another from the aster family probably a yellow ragleaf.
Where there is a herd of sheep or goats you will most always see several dogs with them. The very young puppies are put with the sheep and thats where they are raised so they never know any other life. They probably think they are a sheep or goat. They protect animals from coyotes or other predators. These appear to be fairly young pups. An old dog was with them also.
On Saturday the senior missionaries were invited to the Stake High priest Social. The Stake President cooked t-bone steaks for everyone and the Stake Relief Society provided salads. It was very good. Our mission president also spoke to everyone.
This week went by with the usual teaching and contacts. Today at church there were over sixty members there which was great. At the beginning of the meeting there were only about fifteen so at the end of sacrament meeting when we looked back and saw so many it was a pleasant surprise. School starts tomorrow so not so many gone vacationing. We hoped to have some LDS teachers move in but so far none have come.
Love to all,
Elder and Sister Lybbert
That yellow flower looks like what I call Gumweed. It has stick sap on the flower heads.
