Morning sky

For what doth it profit a man if a gift is
bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift?
-D&C 88:33

James left early for meetings this morning.  When he got home I asked him how his talk went.  He said he didn't end up giving it.  He said the bishop had scheduled two other speakers and they took up all the time.  The bishop ended up asking him to give the closing prayer instead.  He was a little frustrated because he spent all day yesterday preparing.  I told him he would be blessed for being obedient.

In our ward Jordyn Applegate gave a talk on Personal Progress and did an excellent job.  Kip & Alicia Hunsaker spoke on the importance of family.  During Sunday School we discussed king Hezekiah and "Hezekiah's tunnel".  Ruth Wilhelm gave the lesson in Young Women's on dating.  It was good!  After the block Rosie Lauritzen and I visited Lannie Gillespie as her visiting teachers.

James came home before I got there and had to break into the house.  I thought I would be home first so I locked all the doors.  I also forgot that since he doesn't have his truck he didn't have his keys.  He climbed up on the roof and came down onto the balcony outside his office and got in. I am just so grateful he didn't fall or hurt himself.  He had to do some training with our ward's elder's quorum presidency and he needed some materials he had left at home.  

We had some sad news in our ward today.  Paula Johnson's grandson who has been living in Boise, Idaho with his mother committed suicide.  He was only 17 years old.  The family is trying to raise money for his funeral so they can bring him back home to Show Low for his services and burial.  Paula is a sweet sister who does alot of community service and although we don't know her really well we want to help.

I got this picture of Talon, Johnny, and Ruthie Wilhelm off Facebook.
James is their home teacher.
Talon was gone all summer and I
think Johnny and Ruthie missed him.
