Well the rain is really coming down today! It wasn't to bad in Gunnison but iit started when we went to put the flowers out in Mayfield. We are by Nephi now and it is pouring. It is already almost 6:00 p,m, and we have a ways to go. Everything is quiet in the car. BJ is playing Angry Birds on his Ipad. Holly is asleep. Larry is driving and says he doesn't need anything to listen to, so I decided to blog..

I often wish when we make this trip we had more time to stop and see more people. Kimo lives in Mona but, it is always so late when we are passing through. We did get to see most of the people in Karalyn and Redges family. I had a good talk with Marcia Christiansen. Paul has sure changed. He is gaining weight from his medication but he is losing height also. He looks like someone has been trying to pound him together from both ends.

Cutler gave a good talk on the importance of service, based on President Eyring's talk from last conference. It talks about teaching our children to give service. I wonder if I taught my chiildren enough about serving others. Their Bishop taught them to think of keeping the Sabbath day as what life will be like in the Celestial kingdom. He emphasized that we need to like reading the scriptures and attending our meetings if we are going to be happy there. It was a good wake up call to ask the ward members to examne their priorities.

Larry is driving too fast on these wet roads. We just passed a car that ran off the road. I hope that will not be us but at the speed we are going it may.
I just found out I can update my blog on my phone! We are traveling to Mayfield and Gunnison today. It is Cutler Frandsen's farewell today in Gunnison. We are going down with BJ and Holly. After the farewell we are going to put flowers on John's grave. We will also put flowers on Aleda and Reed's graves, John's parents.
