Prioritized Daily Task 

11:30 am - Sacrament meeting 3260 Bear Valley Pkwy, Escondido, CA  Sydney Chapman's Missionary Farewell

Debbie and I had prayer, and Carter and Alex came by.  Carter got permission from his Bishop to have the sacrament before they left for Mexico and Hawaii on their honeymoon.  He and Alex got some bread from Matthew and Melodie and a couple of glasses of water.  Carter and I blessed and passed the sacrament to the four of us.  Carter and Alex took their luggage to Matt's Tesla truck and wet clothes from last night Alex gave them to Melodie to wash and dry while they are gone.   Melodie took Ava to the Tesla truck and she let me take her back into the house.  Her knees are swollen from arthritis and it is painful for her to walk.  While Matthew was gone to take Carter and Alex to the Tijuana International Airport Mexico, I got an envelope from Melodie.  Debbie and I wrote Sydney Chapman a short letter and put some cash in an envelope to give to her today after church.  She is speaking in sacrament meeting and will be going to the Veracruz Mission.  She is starting home mission training a week from tomorrow.  After sacrament, the family and friends of Sydney went out front and took pictures.  Debbie went back in and attended Gospel Doctrine Sunday School.  Shawn and Allie invited us over to their house with the family for lunch.  Shawn's father has passed away, but I saw some of his brothers I had not seen in years.  Shawn's mother's father, Sydney's great-grandfather, Marsh, born in Missouri in 1939, was there.  He lives in his mobile trailer in the backyard at Shawn and Allie's.  He was a mechanic and welder on the gas pipelines across the country when he was young. He is teaching Shawn's younger boys to put gasoline engines and carburetors together.  There was lots of food.  Autumn brought some of Alex and Carter's wedding cake that was not served last night.  The caterers had their own cakes they served.  Debbie and I drove back to Matt and Melodie's, visited, and got ready to fly back to Utah early in the morning.
