Now and Again

Check out the color of the sky in this series of photos.

Looking North at 4:05 pm:

The new Elders and Jacob posing in the church parking lot after our meetings this week. Jacob knew and served with Elder Tengelsen (from Bozeman, Montana) in Edmonton. Elder Rowley (from Saint George, Utah) is brand spanking sparkling new to the mission. Elder Tengelsen is also an accomplished musician and you can find his music on i-tunes under Ben Tengelsen. We all think he sounds like Jack Johnson.

Looking west at 4:15 pm:

The 3 amigos and the old man. Sam is not feeling well, hence the "smile."

Looking West at 4: 17 pm:
The race is on to get a window seat. It seems that even now, after all is said and done, the coveted spot is still by the window. It might also be that someone passed gas too.

At a local bed and breakfast called Chez Dube. It is quite a cute place right on the Snye (pronounced Snee) which is an inlet off of one of the rivers that flow through town. In the summer, the float planes use the Snye as an airport ferrying anglers to the lakes and sport cabins spread all over north eastern Alberta, and the canoeists and rowing enthusiasts use it because there is essentially no current. In the winter, the snow mobiles use it as an access to the frozen rivers for some spectacular races, and there are generally built 1 or 2 outdoor hockey rinks (think Mystery, Alaska with Russel Crowe)

And now class, for today's history lesson, please look at the following photographs.

Can you find any similarities between the photos? Neither can I.

Then:

June 1995

And Now:

November 2008

Samuel made this moment more than just the usual Kodak moment.

We have had many many laughs over the last few days as we have found the old photo albums. We have laughed at hair styles, and outfits, and degrees of nakedness of the boys in the summers at Concord. Michelle wanted this photo recreated, and we were all too happy to oblige.
