Farewell, Arthur

We first met Arthur when he was 6 years old and his family moved into our neighborhood. When he was 12, his parents entrusted his care to us for a month of desert field work. We kept him very safe doing lizard surveys on the bombing range.


He enjoyed his time with us so much that he returned with us a couple more years.
He liked to catch the Sonoran Desert lizards and snakes,
and he became pretty good at finding horned lizards too.



Last January he turned 19 and submitted his papers to serve a mission for our church.
He was called to serve for 2 years in Argentina.


He gave his farewell talk on Mother's Day,
and many friends gathered in Idaho for the occasion.





Here he is with his family.


Good luck, Arthur! We're excited for you.
