         A dearth in the number of workers today left us extremely busy as we hustled to keep up with three busloads of people.  Of course, being busy is preferable to searching for something productive to fill the time. 

         Glade coordinated the baptisms for two wards tonight and enjoyed this change of pace.  We led the first session this afternoon where a man with cerebral palsy participated with his ward and was assisted by a friend.  It was humbling to watch him struggle and lose the battle to control his limbs, etc.; but he smiled and just kept trying and finished well.  What a great example of perseverance and courage.

         We will go to bed tired, but satisfied tonight! 

         I took the photos below on my three-mile morning (most but not all mornings!) walk in Logan. This hill doesn't look too steep, but it must be the steepest 45-degree angle slope I have ever climbed!    The sun on the trees and the snow in the mountains made a breath-taking view.

I walked East from Marc and Alexis's apartment to campus and then from one side of campus to the other.  The spring blooms adorned the trees and it was so beautiful. 

At the far end of campus past the dorms, I started back West on Canyon Road.

I cut back into campus on the big curve to avoid the traffice and started down hill at this point.
Notice the temple in the center of the photo.

This downhill plunge was fun--except that on at least two days, the sprinklers were on and I really had a brain puzzle going on to gauge zigging and zagging all the sprays to keep from getting wet.  At least I had a hoody and it kept my hair dry when I mis-judged the speed of the water!!

Then it was back through the residential streets which were all beautifully tree-lined
 even though this photo doesn't do justice to how pretty it was.
