Wahoo! I finally get released tomorrow. If we had not already known that keeping me as Relief Society President wasn't a good idea this week would have convinced us. We have another funeral this week had a couple of food orders to do plus one we had to go get, and visiting teaching had to be redone as always. Anyway seemed like we had several times when two cars would have been helpful. I do have the opportunity to go to the Temple devotional tomorrow before our meetings. Agreed to that before I knew I wasn't released. I should have lots more time now and of course G'pa less. So I may be the main blogger now.

Second Chance????


It's been awhile since we blogged so we thought we'd do so. The picture is (of course) of Vaiola Grow, her sister Ruby and David. Scott has gone to Washington DC to work (has a great job). Ruby came to stay with Vai while she finishes school. She just has one semester left and then they will go to join Scott. They (at least she) plans on coming back here as soon as possible.

The title "Second Chance" refers to Gpa's church calling. He will be set apart as Bishop of the ward on the 15th of October. Our Bishop and wife have been called to serve in the Temple Presidency in Ghana. I couldn't tell them I was too old since our Stake President is a year older than I. Gma is anticipating a release which will happen. It has been a very demanding three plus years and she deserves a break.

I face this with some degree of fear since our ward has over 630 members and tons of welfare. But the Lord will provide and I'm sure it will be a great experience. Speaking of great experiences, I hope you all were able to hear Elder Ballard's talk at conference (plus the others of course) His was just so powerful and told it like it should be.

Oh, another tidbit of news. A week ago Monday, my golf clubs were stolen from outside the clubhouse!! Now that is bad!! The good news is our homeowners insurance covered the loss and I was able to replace them.
