'And We Talk of Christ'

Elder Gary E. Stevenson

There were high winds today which makes it difficult to do anything outside. When James goes outside in the mornings to feed the horses, he feeds Apollo in the stable stall and Luna outside in the watering corral. If he feeds them in the same place, Apollo will take all of Luna's food. After feeding them this morning he came back in the house and didn't think anymore about them. Later he went out in the afternoon and noticed that Apollo was still in the stall. He went over to see what was going on and the gate was shut and locked. He doesn't think Apollo did that by himself. The only other explanation is that someone locked him in. But who and why? Another one of life's mysteries.

I saw on Facebook that Janis Willis passed away on May 4th. She and Reed were in the same nursing home but in different areas. Reed has had alzhiemer's for quite awhile. I texted Sheri because Janis was in her ward and asked if she knew anything about the funeral. She texted back and said that Reed passed away yesterday and the funeral would be joint on June 16th so all of their family could come. It will be at the Del Rio building but she didn't know the time. James worked with Reed in a bishopric and I was Janis's counselor in Relief Society. James has also done some construction work on their home and he built Janis's parents home in east Mesa. We love them both dearly and met them when we first moved to Chandler. 

James and I made a trip to Dollar General for some DPZ. On the way home we noticed a big plume of smoke over by Greer. It was a plume of smoke from a fire. They are calling it the Greer fire and everyone living in Greer and South Fork and surroundings areas is being evacuated. This is so sad. That aren't able to drop chemicals from planes right now because the wind is so high.  Fire season is officially here, a little early. It usually starts around Memorial Day.

I ordered some new white shoes and they came today. They are white dress shoes and they don't fit right, especially on my left foot, the one with the crooked toes. I decided to send them back and get a white pair just like the black Mary Jane's I have. 

I figured out what my Relief Society handout is going to be. Here is a picture of the prototype. The wording will be a little different on the final product.
