The article highlighted a nice couple doing good work. Keep it up. There are a lot of similar families throughout the church farm program.

I have a brother that worked the church farms in Kaysville as a young man. I've lived in a ward in Ririe Idaho (near Idaho Falls) that had church farm families managing huge wheat fields. I've known several that managed church farms in the midwest while serving a mission.

I've never known a bad apple in the entire bunch. They're a great group of people cut out of the same fabric with a love for others and the knowledge of the importance of the work they do.

Steve may be the Manager, but it's Dave who gets the WORK DONE.

Thank you for being who you are and the great work you do and I am delighted you have found such a great companion. We pass your place almost weekly. This works because its done Gods way not mans. Just read the news and see the differance. But the quest for power, fame, and money keep them from doing it, they have had the Churchs example before them for generations now. May God bless you.

Congratulations all for the wonderful work being done! Only those who receive the benefit will ever know the great love that it is placed in the farming, development and producing all that is given, One thing is for sure it is from the Lord's hand that they receive on both ends, all that is given in charity and with love is worth working for... I know Steve and all those who work like him and Dave and Amy would never ask for any recognition. Recognition is the Lord's.

Dave and Steve thank-you for helping the Church move forward. We feel your work is rewarding for you as well as for the needy. Health and Happiness in the Gospel for you both.
