Elder Harold Schweppe Passed Away March 29, 2008

My dear friends,

Thank you so much for all your prayers, love and support and messages these past few months.
My sweet companion was able to leave his frail body Saturday morning shortly after 11:00 a.m.  He slipped away peacefully with his family surrounding him. He will be so missed here on earth, but so welcomed by those who have been awaiting for his arrival.
His services will be Friday, April 4th at 11:00 a.m. at the LDS Chapel in North Ogden - 575 E. 3100 No. Viewing prior to services from 9:45-10:45. There will be a viewing on Thursday evening 6-8 pm at Lindquist’s No Ogden Mortuary, 2140 N. 400 E (Wash Blvd).

For any of you who may be able to attend services, please feel welcome to stay for lunch following the dedication of the grave - It will be an opportunity for us and you to visit.

Our fondest memories are of our opportunity to serve a mission with all you in Nauvoo.

My love to you - Verna

Bear Lake Rendezvous -- August 14-17, 2008

Last summer Mel and Ellen Maynes opened up their home and property for a gathering of NV enthusiasts. We had a great turn out and a wonderful time together. They are planning on a similar get-together in 2008. They had said that all are welcome -- more the merrier!

Here are the details. If you have any questions, you can contact them at 435-946-2881 or at mellenmaynes @yahoo.com.

August 14-17, 2008

Agenda:
Thursday PM: Gather and get settled.
Friday AM: Logan Temple
Friday PM: Prepare and practice for the Saturday Fireside. Boating, 4-wheeling, visiting
Saturday AM: More recreation. Practice for Fireside.

Saturday EVENING: 7:00 PM: Fireside at the Historic Tabernacle in Paris, Idaho for the Paris Stake.
Sunday AM/PM: Attend Church at one of the two Garden City Wards at either 9:00 AM or 12:30 PM.

Last year we had more ward members offering beds than we had people to fill them. So if you would like to save a buck or two let me know and I'll make the arrangements for you.
Our spare bedrooms are for the ones in charge of the meals and fireside but we have a lot of floor space for the young and/or the young at heart.

Some of you have asked about motels:
Canyon Cove (435) 946-3565 on Logan canyon road
Bear Lake Motor Lodge (435) 946-3271 right across from the church
The Lake Lodge Hotel 1 (800) 756-0795 only a few blocks away

There are also some condos and cabins if you want to go in on a place with some other folks:

We are so excited to spend some quality time with our dear Nauvoo friends.
We hope this info is helpful.
