Potato
I helped in the potato shed getting the potato to roll down so they could be loaded onto the truck to become potato chips. It was so fun and cool in the building, you throw the potato up to the top or what ever potato is holding the rest them and if you get the right one down comes a whole bunch of them, hey it's the little thrills to you know. Brent worked on the ditch for the pipe to water the trees and flowers. During the potato loading I saw something move and it wasn't a potato it was a toad. The guy moving the potato threw the toad on to the potato belt that was being loaded onto the truck. The gals looking for bad potato jump back from, the belt and screamed. One brave gal grabbed it and tossed the toad off so it did not go for a ride.
Also I got a call from one of the members and they asked if we could give them a ride to visit her sister, I said yes and that we would be over after work. She said that her sister was sick and she needed a blessing. When we got there she spoke to her for a little while before I when in. She was very sick and did not talk very loud, I then began to talk about the blessing and if she wanted one. She told me no and she didn't believe in anything, not me or God or any thing. The whole thing was really sad and so I told her the experience that her sister had just had do the work for her parents in the temple and asked her sister to tell her how it made her feel knowing this work was done for them. But from this point on her sister said that she would rather die then have the doctors do any thing for her, not just because of the money but also it looked like she was giving up because she didn't believe in anything.
We asked her why she had gone there in the first place knowing how she believed and she said that she had had a dream that her sister was sick and that's why she called her and found out that she was just released from the hospital. Then she made the commit that it didn't do any good because her sister didn't want to listen. I told her that it helped to talk to her because then she did her part and if she did die she could at lest say that I tried. On the way home she was crying and all we could do was to try to comfort her and let her know that GOD would be their and it was up to her sister then. All experience here are not happy ones but we keep trying.

Wow, I do not know what I would do for her other than to pray. I have come across others who did ask for a blessing and were healed but did not become converted.
I wish I could go there and talk to her and find out why she is so hard-hearted. I wish I knew what made this person loose the slightest bit of hope of and for life.
Life is hard for anyone and everyone in a myrad of different ways, but for most it is easier to help another than to focus on one's own problems in an avalanch of worry.
