Reed Searle's 70th Birthday

I got a good night's sleep, had prayer, shaved, showered, and got dressed for church.  When I arrived Brother Gary Pyne was there and had started setting up chairs in the overflow.  We worked together and by the time the Elder's Quorum President and others came we had the overflow in the gym completed.  It did not take long to set up the priesthood, primary, and relief society rooms,  I sat beside Dan Hammon and two of his sons, Gabriel, and Charles Michael.  After the sacrament was passed we had a testimony meeting.  I shared my testimony and after Sacrament Meeting Brother Gary Pyne, on the Gateway Stake High Council, followed me to Abbington Memory Center.  Debbie and the Gauses, David and Carrie, were there setting u for church.  David's family is from northern Florida.  Point Meadows 2nd Ward was to provide Priesthood and Music for church services today but they did not show up.  Brother Pyne tried to call the ward but there was no answer.  Debbie and I have only had this problem once before and it was with Lehi 7th, our Ward.  No one showed up or would answer the phone.  I drove over to the building and got the Elders Quorum to get people together and we had church services but did run over a few minutes.  This is the first time we had enough priesthood and someone, Jody Traveller, to play the piano.  Today is testimony meeting and how appropriate, the way the Lord provided for us today to have a sacrament meeting here at Abbington Memory Center.  After church we came home and Debbie and Jody started cooking dinner.  I put two pork roasts out to thaw last night.  I picked a few Granny Smith Apples from our tree.  Debbie made an apple and blueberry pie.  Patrick, Anndalyn, and children, Jody's 4 children, 2 daughters-in-law,  and Grayson, grandson came for dinner.  They played games and visited.  Jared, Jami, and the children did not come.  They had made other plans.  Patrick and his family went home and Jody and her family are spending the night.  Tony is the bishop and could not make it.   Jody is getting Shelby and Libby situated in their apartment at school.  Debbie and I had prayer with everyone and later Debbie and I had prayer together before going to bed.
