Hi Dallin,
Mom and I were just talking about you and I thought I better write you.
Things are very busy here for me work wise. It’s crazy!! I have BIG projects and lots of them.
I bulldozed and made a road and then laid gravel. Then I reshaped a couple of earthen dams to this guys place. Then I came back and put in a 2200 gallon cistern, connected it to his house and installed a pressure pump and pressure tank for his house water. We also put in a septic system.
I have 5-6 other jobs that are just as involved but more towards house lifting and new concrete driveways etc.
How’s the work?? Have you heard anything about Elder Davey? I read your last letter. I love that you get to really get to know the people in Iowa City.
What did you do for Sunday dinner yesterday? Mom and I were sitting on the deck eating our lunch and we commented on what we thought you might be doing for lunch.
I’m attaching a couple of photos for you just for fun.
The first is a basement wall that is caving in and I am going to jack the house and replace the wall.
Second: This is a grizzly a few miles from where mom and I camped. He was just outside of Cooke City.
Third and fourth: This is me, Jayden and this French exchange student Antoine (Antwaan) (stupid French names) out in front of U-Haul where I have been doing quite a bit of commercial work. I was grading out this area next to the sidewalk and BAM! The skid steer got a jolt from something from H***! I started pushing tugging and digging. What I thought was just a little concrete post that was cut off and abandoned turned out to be a monster! I slayed it and there it lies in the trailer. I actually got it out using the forks only.
I’ll send more pics next time.
We pray for you all the time. I hope you feel our faith. I love you very much.
Everything is how it should be.
Have fun on your p-day.
Love Dad
Hey Dad!
I'm glad the skiddy survived that post. That thing was huge!
On Sunday we had some lemon pepper chicken, homemade rolls and jam, and salad at the Relief society President's house. She is excited to start sharing the gospel. The families in the ward are all here for residency programs at the university, so the sisters are all full time moms and amazing cooks, like my sisters.
They are busy families, but always willing to help us if we need it. Once in a while I get to work with my hands out here, and today I get to help cut down a tree at our ward mission leader's house. Great things are happening in our area, and the Lord is really changing me. I am discovering how to turn my will over to his, and life is not only better, it is easier.
It is all about praying for charity, and acting on it in every little decision.
Love you Dad Elder Tall
