Excitement in the Desert.

Helicopter about 75 yards from our front door.

 Wednesday evening real excitement.  Coming home from an appointment we found eight or nine police officers with their dogs.  Our Branch Clerk and his wife Shauna were woking in the building so the officers set up their computers etc.  When we asked what was going on the answer we got for the next five hours was that a young man left home without his "meds" and they were searching the area for him. About 7:00 pm a helicopter landed in our front yard. Dust was flying and our fire alarm went off. The helicopter took off and landed three different times. At about 8:45 pm they all left.



Police units in our parking lot

They found the young man in a canyon not far from here.  It appears that he had slipped and fallen.  He did not survive.  They had his funeral yesterday at his home directly north of the chapel.  A relative of the family, Bishop Yellowhair from Chuba City presided.  We were able to print songs for him before we left for Page on Saturday morning.
