Package # 5 (Pre-finalized)

It took a lot of sleuthing, but I finally tracked down the new location for Rexburg's animal shelter. I went in expecting to do the shoot and be done with it, but ended up finding myself wanting to know all I could about the shelter. Not mentioned in the video, but the limited hours of operation are due to lack of volunteers, and they're always looking for more volunteers. I'm definitely going to do so when I come back in the fall. When stuck in apartments that don't allow for pets, it's great to have a way to fulfill the need to pet and play with animals.

In any case, enjoy this 'rough draft' version of my video submission:

Package # 4

Did you know that BYU-Idaho has a Family History Center? Until recently, I didn't! It's a fully-functioning center, too, more than what we have back in my home stake. I was originally planning on doing my story on the Family History Lab downstairs in the library, but after interviewing Brother Poole and finding all the main Family History Center had to offer, I focused on that instead.
