We had an appointment with Pres. and Sister Colton this morning which was our “leaving” interview.  It felt good to be in the temple, and had it been a short day rather than our longest assignment, I would have stayed to check out just what I might be able to help with.  Glade brought me home and then returned for the shift. 

My dear friend Michelle, from Gilbert, AZ, came by again this afternoon for a visit.  She and her husband arrived here shortly after we did.  We have so much in common and formed an instant bond.  She said if we lived in the same neighborhood, we would be best friends.  I love it that we have such a strong connection, like we have always known each other.  It will be a sad parting and we have promised to keep in touch.  She is tall and thin and funny, rather opposite of me!  But the differences don’t seem to matter. 

The foot and ankle are a little sore and swollen tonight, due to lots of use today and bearing more weight.  I guess that’s good. It had better start feeling great since it will soon be time to start sorting and preparing to leave.  It still seems like we just arrived! 

Well, we have made our travel plans and they are far different than anticipated. After struggling for a few days trying to figure out the best way to get home with this less-than-able leg of mine, Glade decided that both of us will fly and have the car shipped.  That was a pretty tough call for him to leave his car in someone else’s hands, but he did it!  I’m a happy camper tonight knowing that neither of us will have to make that long, long drive nor worry so much about the threat of bad weather.  And—we’re flying first-class!  😊

Keep working on your goals!  Like Elder Holland has said: “Don’t you quit.  You keep walking, you keep trying . . .”  Love you all!  Good Night!  😊
