falling into fall in North Dakota

Fall in North Dakota has come already... Sept 21. These pictures are on our trip for our Sunday Assignment -- which we rejoice in and love -- in Fort Yates Branch. Last Sunday there were 18 people there including Sister Johnson and myself and President and Sister Frakes (the Stake President) and the Pres.Laundreaux, the Branch President). The beautiful trees turning, the rolls of prarie grass each weighing I have been told 700-1,000 lbs. These are stacked along the roadways and in the fields uncovered for years some golden brown (this years patch) and some darker brown (last years not yet needed) and some almost black (food storage not yet needed) from years of plenty of the past. Not quite sure how much good they will be in the future years. Rolls of prarie grass as far as one can see if some fields heading toward Fort Yates.
This Indian house -- Tee Pee was about 1/4 miles off the road coming off of the Standing Rock Reservation. Your can see the flap a flapping in the wind on this windy day Sept. 21st the first day of Fall. 2008
Karen taught Primary today....actually teaching primary in the Fort Yates Branch means she was the music leaders and pianist, sharing time presentor, teacher and assistant teacher all rolled up in one person. She was it in total. She and 10 kids in Primary. A day to remember. The Fort Yates Branch is fun to attend, because if you are an active member or missionary there is always things to do if you go.

I shall close happily and engaged in many good causes.
