Today was ward conference for us. The theme of the conference was service. They showed 2 films one called "The Mail Box", and the other was called "Uncle Ben" they were real inspirational films. One was about this old lady who walked everyday out to the mailbox to see if her children had written to her, but they never did. Finally one daughter called the old lady's neighbor and told her they were going to put her in an old folks home. The old lady trudged out to the mail box in the snow and there was a letter from her family. But before she could read it, she had a heart attack and died.
"Uncle Ben" was about a man who was an alcoholic and the only relatives he had was a sister who had 2 sons and 1 daughter. His sister died and because he was an alcoholic the court didn't want him to have the children. But he promised the courts he would change if they would let him raise the children. From the day he took the children until they all graduated he hadn't taken one single drink.
When we came home we really had a hail storm. The streets out here were really flooding and about 2 inches of hail fell.
Loyelin, Rick and the girls came over and visited for a while.
Loye had a sports meeting he went to and we all went to bed early.
