DEPART FAT 9:45am  DELTA Flt. DL3786

ARRIVE SLC : 12:26pm. 

Matthew sold the property on Cason Road in Cedartown, GA

Up at 5 am, prayer, showered, shaved, and got dressed.  Debbie and I had prayer, and I fixed oatmeal, fruit, peanut butter, and supplement drink for breakfast before we finished packing and checking out of the Marriott Courtyard Inn.  We drove over to Rae Lynn's and she took us to the FAT Airport.  We checked in and went throught security and waited at our gate until time for us to board.  We caught our flight to SLC and picked up our bags.  We took the Red Shuddle Bus to Parking Lot Red 8.  We found our car and drove home.  We had a few days of mail in our box but no check from Georgia.  I talked to Matthew and we did close on the Cason Road property in Cedartown.  We sold it for all we could get for it, $200,000 not $1,200,000 what we were asking.  If we kept it we could have to take the building down and plant grass.  The cost to make it acceptable to the city of Cedartown would cost over $750,000.  Matthew paid last month's attorney bill, $81,020.30.   Debbie took Max to Panda Express for his birthday dinner.  Elder Ethan Hobbs called and face-timed me.  He also sent me an email about  a 70 year old Hermana Susana thatngot baptized! It was the best day of the mission so far! , 

Note: From Elder Ethan Hobbs' email today. Come What May, and Love It  By Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles  October 2008 General Conference

My grandson Joseph has autism. 

The family knew that Joseph would probably never be like other children. But what a joy he has been to us.  While there have been challenges, he has filled our lives with joy.

His parents have encouraged him to participate in sports. When he first started playing baseball, he was in the outfield. But I don’t think he grasped the need to run after loose balls. He thought of a much more efficient way to play the game. When a ball was hit in his direction, Joseph watched it go by and then pulled another baseball out of his pocket and threw that one to the pitcher.

Any reservations that his family may have had in raising Joseph, any sacrifices they have made have been compensated tenfold.

Debbie got home and brought me a plate from Panda Express.  Later we. had prayer together, and. got to bed at a little after 11:00 pm.
