BLOG #49 MARCH31-APR5

BLOG#49March 31-April 5
Just some thoughts for this week’s events.
            I had to go to a clinic to see what the matter was with me. I had the same symptoms for 8 days, and  it was getting  worse I would sit up in a chair for most of the night so I would not cough as hard. The  Doctor’s Assistance told me I had acute Bronchitis and sinusitis- -a double whammy.  I guess I was not feeling well -----no I knew I was not feeling well- the work just needed to be done anyway so I continued  to come into the office and accomplish what was needed to be done and then I would go to the mother’s lounge for a nap.. She (the PA)loaded me down with a lot of medicines for the next week to start the process of getting better.  I still coughed for a long time after but it will get better. I know it will.

It was decided that all  missionaries would be on bikes, walking, or rides from ward members.  The idea behind this was to make the missionaries more accessible to the public and hopefully get more contacts. When  we saw the sister missionaries we had to run out side to take of picture of them as we had not had seen them before. They laughed at us as we all took pictures. Good sports. We are praying that it will work for them some elders and sisters have not ridden in a long time.
            We had tator-tot casserole  and cinnamon pull aparts this week.  I fixed a lot but for some reason the number of students were down  and I had one tator/tot casserole (9x13) left. I froze it hoping that I would find some one that really needed it in the near future. Monday Sister Hopegood told me of a family in her ward that was in need of a meal because of illness in the family, so that meal went to a great place for a great cause.
Elder Judd: On Friday we took Lacho (Horatio) Palomo to the Orlando Temple for his Endowment prior to his departure for his mission to Mexico. It was a great time to serve as his escort in the temple and assist him thru his first experience there. Wesley Lind, Cat Hunter and Taylor Grave Douglass came also. It was a great experience for him and us. These YSA are much more prepared than I was for this experience and he really enjoy it. When he came into the Celestial room of the temple, his eyes got as big as silver dollars. Upon leaving the temple, we all went to Olive Garden for dinner.
We watched the Saturday sessions of conference at the Institute with about 12 YSAs. One of the YSA brought a crumb cake and we ate it during the afternoon session. It was such a nice thought for her to share. Being in the presence of the YSA is always so uplifting.

            Sunday Morning, we went over to the church for Conference ( still like it at home  better but the messages  are still great no matter where). The conference attendance here at the church  is small when you think this ward building  has 3 wards. I  thought it was interesting that several families brought their children  dressed in Sunday clothes ready for church  it was great to see how they handled them during the am sessions. We also had a lot of YSA and missionaries come too. The afternoon session we watched at Alex Patrick’s home with his family. That was nice to be in a family setting. His children are very pleasant to be around and enjoyed conference too. We had the best roast beef  and potato dinner, then we walked over to the Indian Shores beach so a picture  could be  taken and sent to their son on his mission, so I was able to take a picture of the sunset and us too.  It was a very relaxing day after not feeling well for so long these past several weeks.
