I got up at 5 and worked on my lesson for an hour, then I got ready and left for ward council which was at 7am.  It was long.  It wasn't over until almost 8:30 and I just had time to go home run off my lesson, pick up the guys and drive back to the church.  The Howard's spoke in church on having the Spirit in our lives and some of the tools that Satan uses.  The kids will remember Brother Howard's talk because he used the example of Krispy Kreme donuts.  They lure you in to their shop by giving you a free donut.  You aren't going to buy anything but when you taste the donut and smell the donuts baking you end up buying two dozen.  That's how Satan tempts us.
Alex and Michael sat with us.  Joe and Brian chose to sit in the back.  As soon as the meeting was over Alex and Michael were speed walking out of the chapel and gone with Brian before we could even leave the chapel.  I texted Brian and told him I was not happy with the boys choice.  He felt bad and was going to bring them back.  I said no.  This evening after Brian had gone home we had a FHE about being converted and truly committed to the gospel, even in a ward other than their own.

My young women's lesson went fine. I need to get to know the girls better though.  I got to meet the Young Women's secretary Tina Allen.  She contributed quite a bit to the lesson.

Today is Jared Ammon's 20th birthday.  I texted him and told him his card was at his Mom and Dad's house.
Stacy called this evening saying she had a broken waterline.  Terry came over and turned off the water for them and said he would come over in the morning and fix it.  Thank goodness for James's brothers.

Some random pictures of clouds.  One of my most favorite things to do up here is to look at the clouds.
