May 26

This is the first Sunday in weeks that we have been to all church meetings in our own ward.  It was so nice.  The nicest thing, however, was that the three less active families that Scott and Elder Wells have been assigned to home teach were in Sacrament Meeting.  It has been a long hard process.  Months ago the Stake President came and was quite clear that the High Priest Group were not active enough in working with the less active High Priests.  Scott talked to the High Priest Group Leader after the meeting and offered to help him visit.  That did not go well, so then he offered to home teach (which most seniors do not do) some of the less actives.  He was given one man, and then weeks later he was paired with Elder Wells and given two more.  They have had a tough time getting appointments to visit, have appointments honored.  One of the men has yet to agree to a time that they have proposed, and only once has agreed to let them come visit.  Tough going; so seeing two of the three families in church on Sunday was so wonderful.  I am proud of Scott for sticking with it.  He is determined to help these families come into full activity.

Went home after church, ate, studied, had a nap and then took a ride and then I practiced making the custard for tomorrow's FHE.  The first batch was too runny for me, but Scott liked it.  The second batch was too thick for both our tastes.  Tomorrow I will make it in between.  It is interesting that the custard is just vanilla flavored, but is really a bright yellow.  It is lovely to have a Sunday that is so relaxing.
