We got to DLL on April 23. The weather has been very bad, snow and rain everyday. We went to Martin's Cove for training on May 3, 4 & 5. It was enjoyable but we were glad to get back to DLL. Today we started getting the Handcarts out of the barn. We moved the Port A John's out last week. The new missionary couples are learning the routes; it takes a lot of time to learn all the different way to travel on the ranch. We have two small trucks that we need to pick up next week in Elberta and one large truck in Salt Lake City. Today we set up the shop equipment because we have five Handcarts that need rebuilt. We also have many wheels to replace.

I enclosed several pictures of the snow it snows 2 or 3 inches at a time and then melts by noon. We have only had two days with sun and it was cold even with the sun shining.
I also enclosed the pictures we took at our meeting in SLC on April 13. The people in the middle our Elder and Sister Bretzing our mission Pres. and his wife, the others are our new Missionaries. I also enclose a picture of Sister Hawk and myself.

Sister Hawk is having bad trouble with her knees. We are going to see the Doctor in Provo on Monday. We are hoping he can do something to help her. She needs knee replacement, but we need to be here to train the new Missionaries. I hope we can make it till September.

All is Well
Elder Hawk
