Walk and Talk.  Elder Ballard: "There is no happiness without service, and there is no service greater than that which converts the home into a divine institution, and which promotes and preserves family life....The home is what needs reforming."  This was actually a quote Elder Ballard quoted by Joseph F. Smith over 100 years ago.
Here is another one by Elder Ballard: "Brothers and sisters, the most important cause of our lifetime is our families.  If we will devote ourselves to this cause, we will improve every other aspect of our lives and will become, as a people and as a church, an example and a beacon for all peoples of the earth."
Swept and mopped the floors while listening to last night's session of the Republican National Convention. 
This afternoon around 4pm I left for Show Low to go watch Monte's girls, Madison and Kaitlyn play volleyball.  Two of my young women went with me, MaKenzi Hunsaker and Trenda Wilhelm.  Trenda rode the bus home and I picked her up and took her back.  Show Low is playing Snowflake and I am afraid Snowflake won all three sets, the freshmen, JV, and varsity.  We sat by Monte, Vickie, Harold, Colby, Brian, and Cher.  Kaitlyn and Madison both gave me a hug.  I also saw Quentin and Zach.  After Madison's freshman game I took MaKenzi, Trenda, and Mary Swift to Burger King to get something to eat.  Tasha was coaching the JV team but since I didn't know anyone playing on that team I thought it was a good time to take a break.  We came back and watched Kaitylyn play.  MaKenzi use to play volleyball, Tasha was her coach, back in junior high but she broke her leg and never went back.  She said she wishes she would have.  Snowflake won all three varsity games.  Kaitlyn is a good player though.  Vickie is very proud of both her and Madison.  They are both straight A students.  Madison also played the national anthem on the french horn before the varsity games started.  We didn't get home until 8:30. 
Kaitlyn is to the right of the girl in the green.
Madison is the girl in the black walking behind the Snowflake team.
The Snowflake team's coach was annoying.
