Happy Birthday to my dear friend Karen.
This is a picture from last year as we celebrated her birthday at
Firebirds.
Today was my visiting teaching appointment with Hailey Chaffin. Because she lives on a ranch several miles out of town and the road is terrible, James agreed to drive us. We left our house a little after nine and picked up my partner, Corrina, on the way. This will be the last month that Corrina will be my partner. She and her family are moving to Royal City, Washington on March 4th. Her husband, Joe, has a job at a grape vineyard. They have 5 children ages 13-4, three girls, and two little boys.
Hailey called Corrina on our way to her house. She said she had to do some shopping while she was in town and she was running a little late. She wasn't there when we got there so Corrina and I walked around outside as we waited for her.
A calf Brother Chaffin made for his kids to practice
their roping. I want James to make one for us!
We didn't have to wait more than five minutes or so for Hailey to arrive. We helped carry her groceries in for her. Hailey seemed a little stressed. She told us she has four calling; Scout advancement chairman and a member of the Scout committee, assistant librarian, and a member of the Relief Society activity committee. Tonight is the Blue and Gold banquet and she is in charge of decorating, and making some of the food. I offered to go with her to the church to help decorate but she said it wasn't necessary.
Corrina gave the lesson and I read the quote on this bag of chips by Elder Bednar.
Candy bar and chips to help Hailey get through her day.
On the way home Corrina asked if we could stop at the Stanford store, which we did. She did a little shopping and James got me a drink.
I went home and took a short nap and watched a movie. James worked on his bid for awhile and then came down and joined me on the couch.
Tonight at 7 p.m. I had an appointment in Show Low with President Danny Crandall of the Show Low stake presidency for my temple recommend interview. We had a nice visit and he says he knows Harold and Dennis and has visited with them in their homes.
It always feels good to have a new temple recommend!
We went home and watched, "Signed, Sealed, and Delivered."
