On Monday, Helen and Gibson picked pears on the platform for the first time. The platform drives slowly along the rows of pears and is the most efficient way to pick pears in the upper tree branches. 

The driver let Gibson drive the platform at the end of one row to turn the platform into the next row. Helen snacked on a pear while she waited for more pears to pick.

Abe's MTC schedule shifted and now he has class in the evening. He joined the rest of us to play a card game for a few minutes during one of his breaks on Monday.

Brandan picked up the missionaries at 3:30 am on Tuesday so they could pick pears for the 4-7 am platform shift. He took them to breakfast afterwards and still made it to work on time. From the left are Elder Driscoll, Elder Mason, Elder Maddox and Brandan.
