Home Sweet Home
James said he would help with my Primary lesson today. Alex looked nice in his Sunday clothes. Seth looked more like he was prepared to go to church in the country. We had family prayer and then made our way to the Vernon ward.
It was announced that Brother Bruce Tieman passed away and his funeral will be in Phoenix on Friday. I received my new visiting teaching beat. Lorraine Tieman is my partner and we are to visit Hailey Chafin, Elida Pope, and Sister Howard. When I left Vernon seven months ago Hailey and Elida were my visiting teachers. They live way out the other side of the Stanford store closer to Taylor than to Vernon.
Today was Sadie Westbrook's homecoming. She just returned from her mission to Mexico. She took most of the time, but the bishop got up after she was finished and said a few words. I quote:
"You cannot measure the effect of one worthy missionary.
The impact is felt throughout eternity."
I think he was quoting President Hinckley
I am glad James was there to help me in Primary. We ended up teaching two classes. My class: Ashten Hall, Isabelle Miller, Kasey Westbrook, Braylin Chafin, Talina Singleton, and Zemira Whilem. We also had the 8 and 9 year olds: Jace Singleton, Curtis Wilhelm, and visitors, Bentley, Jack, and Taylor.
We had a little extra time so I asked some of the kids what their favorite foods were. Isabelle said hers was mussels. I was quite surprised by that response. What 9 year old girl likes mussels?
Brielle Hunsaker Rohner gave the lesson in Relief Society based on Elder Bednar's talk: "Therefore They Hushed Their Fears." I visited with Brooklyn Carroll before class. She is Sadie's niece and best friend.

Back at home we had chili for lunch and then played Hearts. James ran it two or three times and lived up to his bragging about being the champ.
On the way back to Chandler we stopped at Monte's and Tasha's to pick up a piano they gave to Sheri.

on the trailer.
I failed to get a picture of the police officer who came
over and helped by picking up one end of the piano and walking
up on the trailer with it.
He saved the day, and James's back.
Monte was in California with the Show Low High School football team for a training camp along with Brian, Harold and Dennis. Here are the coaches having a little fun.
