Mothers Day There are "Rules" that are to be kept on our Mission so I am sorry have to say that Mom broke one. We are not allowed to take trips while we are
on our mission. She has a really sore arm.
We were home in Sandy and were preparing the house for everyone to come over for a barbecue. I went to the store to get some water treatment for the ponds. and she was home alone pulling up some weeds when she stepped back and "TOOK a TRIP" over a sprinkler. She fell on some some logs that we had placed next to the old peach tree for decoration and dislocated her elbow.
She was unable to get up because she could not push with her lift arm. So she was laying on the ground. Kathy was in to her yard next door and was able to come and help Mom up. Marty called her on her cell phone and she answered by yelling "Help". Marty took her to the emergency room at the Alta View Hospital.
The doctors were able to reset the dislocation but the x-rays show a small bone chip. We are going to take her to see a bone doctor to make sure that everything will be all right. She is doing well with very little pain.
We had a very good Mothers Day in spite of the troubles.
Welfare Square
We have the assignment of being on Welfare Square on Mondays. It is a great place to visit and take a tour. There is the Bishop's Store House, Bakery, Transient Services Office, Employment Center, Cannery, Dry Pack, Desert Industries, and Milk Processing and Cheese Creamery. It takes a hour for a Tour and to see everything.
There was a couple come in from Lehi. They said they were from Mississippi, that they had been at New Orleans when they were reallocated to Utah due to the Hurricane. They were staying here and have joined the Church. We were talking about the problems with the Hurricane when they said the Church was there with a big tent where they were passing our boxes of food that was good for one week. I thought that was cool as part of the tour is showing the place where the emergency food is boxed.
It is so great to be here where we can be proud of all of our church is doing for good in the world
