Michael came by with Blake and a young man about  Blake and Alex's age, named Drew Furgeson.  His dad and mom are Kelly and Mandy.  They lived in the duplex next to Michael and Autumn in the house/duplex we owned on Briar Ave. and Cherry Ln. in Provo a couple blocks from Brigham Young University's J. Ruben Clark Law School.  They named their daughter, Autumn.  Michael said they did not think they would ever see them again after they left BYU.  Now they are in the same ward in San Clemente.  I talked to them later when they were on the road near Cedar City, UT.  I talked to Matthew; I called and talked to Beth and Maggie; and I called and talked to Rae Lynn.  I talked to Max Kimball today about our plans later this week, flight, and him picking me up at the Birmingham Airport.  Our hotel in Jackson, Mississippi, the Holmes family and funeral on Saturday.  I talked to Dell who has cancer and taking Cemo treatments and will not be able to attend her mother's funeral.  One of the sons-in-laws in the family is going to try and get it so she will be able to watch the service. 

Debbie and I watched the video by Tom Pettit, Getting to Know Them: Wilford Woodruff.  I have always been impressed with President Wilford Woodruff, his missionary work and success, his journal keeping, etc.  The Spirit touched me as I was watching Elder and President Woodruff's life and his dedication and firmness in keeping the covenants and commandments.  I called Max and told him I had not ever felt good about flying back to SLC from Birmingham, Alabama next Sunday after Peggy Holme's funeral services and visiting with her family in Jackson, Mississippi.  Max said the Prophet, apostles, and missionaries all travel on Sunday as he does when it becomes necessary.  I told him I hear, but I am not them.  He said because of the snow and weather with thousand are stranded at airports in the South and East. I might want to keep my flight because I may not be able to get another one.  I told Max I would pray about it tonight before I make a decision tomorrow.  Debbie and I had prayer and read before going to bed.
