I’ve posted many times as we’ve visited the Imperial Sand Dunes with the missionaries. As we enter the final weeks of our mission, we realized today’s trip to the Dunes would be our last. Fortunately it was just as fun as the others.
Elder Rogers impressed us all with a standing backflip off a high dune:
Not to be outdone, Elder Legg did the same but added a 180-degree twist:
I love Elder Tasi’s expression in the background. Apparently he’s not impressed. Elder Legg then improved on his technique by launching himself off the back of Elder Ginos:
I noticed Sister Johnson using an honest-to-goodness SLR camera– not a digital one. I asked to see it, and was shocked to recognize it: an ancient Pentax K-1000!
Here’s the picture from my 16th birthday in 1988 when I opened my Pentax K-1000:
It was awesome to see someone with the same camera, almost forty years later, actually using it!
The ladies all posed for a picture.
I’ve grown to love the Dunes, and how they just continue all the way to the horizon.
Even more, I’ve grown to love these amazing young missionaries. They’re so much fun.
