"Be of good cheer,

for I will lead you along."

-D&C 78:18

Jared Ammon and Catherine went on a short run this morning.  They said it was difficult to run because of the high altitude and loose cinders.  Sheri had the same concerns when she was here.  

James and I made them a big breakfast.  We had hashbrowns, eggs with onions and green chilies, turkey bacon and french toast.  They seemed to be very appreciative.  Jared mentioned how good the french toast was.  After breakfast Jared, Catherine and James took off in the Razr for Green's Peak.  About an hour or so later I got a call from James asking me to come and rescue them.  Before I got there he had the Razr fixed.  James rode home with me and Catherine and Jared took the Razr with Catherine driving. 

Jared and Catherine went to town this afternoon to get some groceries.  Catherine is a nice girl.  She is from Tyler, Texas and came to ASU on a track scholarship.  That's how she and Jared met.  She is not a member of the Church.

While Jared and Catherine were gone I read to James from Edenbrooke and we took a nap.  I got up and fixed some taco soup from years supply items and I also paid some bills.   

We had the taco soup for dinner and everybody loved it.  The best thing about it is that everything in it can come from your years supply.  After dinner we taught Catherine and Jared how to play Five Crowns.  Catherine took the game very seriously and took a long time to make her move.  James said it was the longest game he had ever played, but it paid off for Catherine because she won!

Some other happenings today: I called James Mr. Fixit because he fixed the Razr, Darrel's shower and toilet, and got rid of the ants in Sheri's room.  It was 89 degrees today and it was smoky because of the Tank fire near the Black River.
