Prioritized Daily Tasks

Prayer with Debbie; Richard Clark came by the house about 7 AM. We ate breakfast, packed sandwiches, water, etc. About 8:30 AM and got to Glacier Lake about 3 PM. We hike up the mountain to a dell just before arriving a Glacier Lake. We had just started up Mt. Timpanogos trail when we met Noah Valentine and his girlfriend Emma. Noah was a full-time missionary in the Adriatic North Mission and served in Novi Sad while we were there. He recognized me immediately. Richard and I hiked up to Glacier Lake. The hike took us 6 hours. The hike down was 1 hr. and 15 minutes to the waterfall we walked behind; 1 hour and 30 minutes to the rock slide; 2 hours down to the pine tree grove; 3 hours to the first waterfall on the way up the trail and 3 hours and 30 minutes to the parking lot and the Land Rover. We met lots of nice people. Richard lost his cell phone and a couple of hikers told him someone had to turn it in at the ranger's building at the start of the trail. On our way down we met a man jogging and running up the trail. Before we reached the bottom of the mountain, he had run to the summit and then on his way down, passed us before we reached the parking lot.

Richard talked to himself on the trail today. I had overheard some of his comments, such as, "When I get home I am going to sleep for two weeks" another "I think I am going to die" and "I hurt so bad, from the bottom of my feet to my back, I can hardly live." I drove to Chuck-a-Rama in Lehi where we and I had dinner. We came back home where Richard had left his car this morning. I went in and gave him some Ibuprofen to take with him.

Debbie and I stayed up to about midnight waiting on Cache, Cooper, Corbin, and Clari to get in before we went to bed. Debbie and I had prayer thanking Heavenly Father and asking Him to continue to bless and guide us and all our family and love ones.
