Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Our visit to Utah. Stained glass window in the Church History Museum. Adam-Ondi-Ahman - beautiful, pristine, and peaceful.

We also visited the Far West temple site dedicated just prior to the Latter-Day Saints being driven out of Missouri in 1837. Temple site at Far West Missouri. Rick and...

Musings in Mongolia: April 2014
http://drvalfarmer.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 27, 2014. Easter egg hunt in Arkansas. Going from the mission field where all our love, energy, and focus was on moving the work forward to a life without "have to's" is quite the contrast. We had a structured life with a built in support network and plenty to do. Now we do what we want when we want with no specific agenda. In the meantime, we are living as guests in various of our children's homes. The grandchildren are wonderful to be around. Our newest grandchild, three month old Max.

Musings in Mongolia: September 2014
http://drvalfarmer.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. The last blog - a surprise visit, hot air Balloons, and a glimpse into what's next. Balloon glow - St. Louis. As we were preparing to return to Missouri from our three week trip to Utah, we heard from our son Tyler that he and his family would be returning from Japan for a nine day family visit. We were delighted to hear this news. Instead of waiting a year to see their family, it meant “now”. Tyler and his son Gideon. Sitting - April, Tawny, Tassa - standing Mariah and Tyler.

Friday, January 31, 2014. Enjoying the Tsaagan Sar Sunrise, West Zone Conference. Last year at this time, Elders Stewart and England and a group of missionaries climbed a mountain on Tsaagan Sar morning. Both Darlene and I were recovering from the pneumonia that plagued us during most of January so I didn’t go on this particular outing. New housing development at the base of the mountain we climbed. Elders Moore, Hayter, Standley, Erickson, Higgs, and Odd. Mongolian men (including boys and young men) hav...
