Well today has been a sad day. We have a friend, Alice, that has had cancer for six or so years and a month ago was told it has spread to other places. Now she is starting yet another chemo treatment.
We talked to both Blair and Alice this morning. Ever since I can remember Blair has helped on the ranch when we needed him. Alice has been an amazing friend - if there was ever a way she could help she was right there. I remember clearly one day when all of the kids were young someone knocked on the door. There stood Alice with a smile on her face saying she was there to help me do anything that needed done. Many a time when I was bowled over by caring for 10 kids or anything else she would show up to help. That is the kind of friend she has always been. It must have been very difficult for her not to have the health these last years to help everybody else.
Then the Yturraldes stopped by to say their boss wanted to have a conference with them today. Then stopped to say they are being sent to Mexico as soon as the paper work is done to do Extraction work there. They were there for a week working a while back. They are working with a different program than the normal missionary program. They are the main reason we have stayed in this building. They have become such good friends. We will always be grateful for the opportunity of getting to know them. Don't know who will help me with computer problems when Sister Yturraldie goes. It has just been fun and helpful to have them here in this building to share woes with!
Being a bit sad we decided to do two sessions at the temple tonight. Pres. Anderson and his wife,
Pres. Cornish and his wife and a few others were in the last session. It is wonderful to be in the temple with so many friends!
A quote from Reid: "The purpose of life is a life full of purpose."
The happy news is Kelsey and Levi have moved to the ranch and Joe and Hannah have moved into their house. What a marvelous blessing family is!
