Chicken Coop

This is the chicken coop.... THE CHICKEN COOP!  When I was living in 3rd Ward I used to "Hang Out and Do nothing" (as the Elders would call it) all the time.  If you ask the sisters....we were doing some mad missionary work and actually had lots of success. :)   But whenever that bitter sweet time came for one of the missionaries to go they would get to sign the chicken coop before they left.  It was a great thing, and it has lots of memories on it. 

The other day I received a call from Elder Wetherell - who used to be in the ward but now is in 3rd Ward... and he found the chicken coop... he found my name on the back and asked if I wanted it.  I was hesitant at first... thinking it should stay in the apartment and start it up again.. but it now being silly elders... that wouldn't happen...SOoooo now its up in my home :) Right smack clear in the hall way! 

It was so fun to read all the names and think of all the fun memories :)

Incidental - that same day was Elder Haskell's last day here in the Area. Hes finally getting to go down to the valley! Whoo hoo. Were all happy for him.  So as he came by to say laters... we were talking about the Chicken Coop.  :) And he asked if I was going to start it up again... so yea! Why not. The chicken coop is now back in business. 

Saskia wanted a picture with the Elders before Haskell left... haha, Gabe kept popping his head in front.....

Then as we were talking we discovered that it was Saskias 1/2 way mark on her visit here...so since the missionaries where over...it was only right that we burned something.   I know it was suppose to be a shirt...but we didn't have one....so a sock it was. :)

YAY! 1/2 way there.  Again Bitter Sweet! :(

It was a fun day.  I am glad I got the chicken coop, wished Elder Haskell a good farewell, and got to celebrate with Saskia her 1/2 way mark :)
