September 1st


Sammy

Tuesday Sept 1st  I went into the office in the morning because Sister Spencer needed me to help her.  It was a good thing I did because she had given some checks that were for Action Bike to Elder Ferguson to be deposited in our account.  So I was glad that I was able to catch that before I left.  Larry and I accomplished several things and then we went back to the apartment.  They had already come to clean the carpets so we didn’t have to worry about moving the furniture.  It was already done.  It was okay but I felt bad that we had not been there to get some things moved.

I decided to take some ice cream to Jane because I knew that she liked it.  I noticed that the door was open so I was glad that I knew she was up because I didn’t want to wake her again.  I went to the door and there were several police and a lady inside.  I asked if Jane was okay thinking that maybe she had needed to call an ambulance.  The Lady said that she had passed in the night.  I was shocked.  I asked her if they knew what time.  She said that they did not know.  I told them that I had talked to her about 7:30 p.m. the night before.  She said that she had talked to her just right after that.  I asked where they had taken her.  She pointed to the chair in the corner.  There she was sitting with her half eaten food and she had no outer pants on with a top.  It looked like she had got up and tried to get dressed and then decided to sit down and eat something when she was not feeling well.  She was so peaceful.  I felt bad but I also felt good because her fight was over.  The lady was one of her good friends and she had come to see her in the morning and found her like that when she did not answer her phone.  I asked her what Jane’s last name was as we had never got that far.  She said Malone, so Jane Malone we will miss you!

That evening we went to dinner with Nathan and the kids and Carol and Bob Vincent and Nikki and some of her kids at Blanco BBQ for the last time on the mission.  We had to go and pick up the kids and Nathan and then drive back to Blanco BBQ but it was worth it to see Carol and Bob again and it was good for Nathan to have someone else to talk to as he was still kind of not wanting to talk to me.  The kids enjoyed the playground.  Nathan enjoyed sitting at the table with Bob and Carol and talking to them and Nikki.  We took a lot of pictures together and just had a good time.

When we left I took Maggie, Sammy, and Isaac with me and David rode with Nathan and Larry.  We went by the apartment because I had forgotten to take the kids their cotton candy and some other things and the kids came in with me to get it.  Then I took the kids home.  Larry and Nathan were waiting with David up the road from Sara’s house because Nathan wanted to say prayer with all the kids so they had been wondering where we were but it all worked out and they said they had not been waiting long.  Then Larry took Nathan home and I picked him up at the apartment.  We arranged to meet him in the morning with the trailer and load the stuff that we had to take for him.
