Female Relief Society November 28, 1875

Meeting held November 28th, 1875.  Meeting opened with singing "Praise Ye the Lord, my Heart Shall Join", etc. and prayer by Sister Jensen.  Singing "Come, Come Ye Saints, No Toil Nor Labor Fear", etc.  The minutes of a former meeting were read and accepted and reports read.  Sister Peel addressed the sisters and said she felt well in the Gospel and was very much pleased to see so many of the sisters present ~ thought if the sisters would be united, attend to their prayers and be obedient to those placed over them, everything would go right.  Sister Simpson bore her testimony and was glad to see as many together. ~Thought if the sisters would spend a few hours together, they would lose nothing by it, and the Lord would bless them with His Spirit.  Sister Petersen said she had no other desire than to do the will of the Lord. ~Thought that if each one would do his part, no fault could be found.  The sisters in general bore their testimonies and gave some good instructions.  The subject of home industy received a large share of attention.  The meeting closed with singing, "One the Mountain Tops Appearing", etc.  Prayer given by Sister Peel.

Hope at Mt. Pleasant ~ Basin Drive In ~ Shared by Ms. Kelly Cannon

It's been years since I went

to a drive-in movie.

All of us

piled into the bed of the truck

a mass of bodies, blankets, and pillows

laughing at every joke on screen

and between us,

passing popcorn and sodas

and silently counting the shooting stars.

I'm more focused on catching each one

to make the same wish.

Now

driving back

I'm lying on the back seat.

Paul and Maria & Rachel

separated by a decade

fight over the radio

and exchange corny jokes.

Paul's jacket

rough against my cheek

serves as a decent pillow.

I can't remember the last time

I had so much fun.

Maybe things are getting better

but I can't be sure.

Does anyone else out there want to share their memories of the Basin Drive In?  Kathy

1937 Manti Temple ~ from the Elva Guyman Collection

I love this picture because it shows how in 1937 and earlier, steps climbed up the west lawn to the temple.  Also, this photo shows how the temple looked before the annex on the north side was added on.   Some of us remember when you could actually drive through a tunnel on the east side of the temple.  Kathy
