Emma and I made the lunch. My girls helped me. We had casseroles and green salads, pickles
and cake and punch. Sister Sommerfeldt and councilors served it for us at the stake house.
They had the casseroles heated and the tables set when we got there. There were about 50
people for lunch. Edyth and Lynn and Bob were there.
So we thought I’d better go to the Doctor for a heart check up. The doctor told me to come in

every two weeks.

and walked to Sunday school. Brother Hall was not there so I was asked to supervise the class.
I took charge, attended Sacrament meeting and then went with Ren to a meeting at the temple.
President N. E. Tanner and Sara were there and gave lovely talks on the sacredness of the
