Angie participated in Powder Puff game on Monday, September 13. Unfortunately, her team (the juniors and sophomores) lost. On our way home, Lilli called from the hospital.
On the 14th, Deb and I spoke with Lilli's therapist via phone. Lilli was also there. After the meeting, we then went to the school to discuss Lilli's schooling.
Angie got sick during the week of homecoming so she stayed home for a couple of days. She felt well enough to cheer at the game, which Marsh Valley lost, 28-14.
We had stake conference on the weekend of September 18 and 19. The stake Relief Society president, Sister Barbara Johnson, brought Sister Kim Ames to our home. It was a wonderful visit. She brought such a sweet spirit into our home. Her husband, Elder Rodney Ames, presented a wonderful conference. It was such a joy to attend the meetings.
On September 21, we brought Lilli home. It seems to me that she is allowing herself to get better. She has been in a dark place, and it was my feeling that she did not want to get out of the dark place. It seems to me she is working to get out now. In any event, it is wonderful to have her home.
Uncle Harry passed away on September 10. The funeral was on September 25. It was a beautiful service. Uncle Harry was such a great man. He will be dearly missed. He was buried in Swan Lake so after the graveside service, we had a meal at the Swan Lake church with relatives and friends of Uncle Harry.
Our family went to the Pocatello Temple House. It is a beautiful temple. We went to the open house on Wednesday, September 29. Then we worked as temple ushers on Friday, October 1, except Angie who had to go cheer at the Marsh Valley and South Fremont game in St. Anthony. Deb and I were tour guides, and Lilli took booties off at the end of the tour. She had her friend, Sarah, go with her.
When I woke up on Friday morning, my back was killing me. As I got ready to go to work, it did not get better. I realized that I may not be able to usher in the temple. I went to work but did not get much better. I still got ready to go. While walking into the stake center to receive instructions on what has to do, I felt a twinge in my back. After getting to our area (we were assigned to be tour guides), when I did the first tour, my back did not bother me at all. When I returned to the area to sit and wait for the next tour, my back hurt a little. At each tour, my back did not bother me. I was truly blessed!
BYU is 5-0 having defeated Arizona State, South Florida, and Utah State. They are ranked tenth in the nation. Next up is Boise State in Provo.
