This weekend Anna and I chilled, literally, up in Heber, AZ. We spent a fun weekend with four other couples in the ward playing games, shooting guns, collecting pottery (to Anna's delight) and laughing a lot. We stayed at a nice spread of fifty-five acres with two cabins. Each couple had their own room. On one morning Anna and I awoke to watch a sunrise from a treehouse. We went for a run in the forest after that and came home to make pancakes and omeletes for the crew. I thought the highlight, though, was on Sunday. We attended the Heber Stake Conference and listened to an excellent talk by a Seventy. He is from Japan. His father was killed by U.S. Submarines. When he was nine, missionaries contacted him and bore testimony of the Gospel. Expecting to feel malice for these Americans, he felt nothing but love from the Elders and was converted to the Church and has since been engaged in life-long service. He encouraged the Saints up in Snowflake to serve in the temple so much it would have to remain open 24 hours. I love pine trees...

Sounds so fun. Did you rent the cabins or were they family-owned? Pretty fancy for poor students!
