Hi all,
I received an email from our stake president Monday telling me a woman from Arizona was here visiting along with her daughter and daughter's boyfriend. The woman became suddenly ill and was going to die. She is an endowed member, the daughter is not endowed, so would I dress the woman and get her ready for burial (in reality cremation). Having never done this I gulped and said okay. I need to learn how to do it anyway.
Well, she died yesterday and I am doing this on Friday morning. Problem is the distribution center is closed for cleaning. Thankfully one of the wards had everything I need in their Relief Society closet at the church. Now I just need to arrange some helpers.
I am definitely not taking Emily.
Tomorrow she and I are driving to Worcester to volunteer at the Bishop's storehouse. Then we have to go again on Saturday morning for a 7AM meeting I have. Sunday I have two ward conferences to attend (as does Dad) in Marlboro - almost as far as Worcester, so I will be gone from 8AM until 5PM. Dad doesn't have to stay quite as long. Emily just keeps saying, "What about me?" (We have made arrangements...)
I guess we can't be snowed in forever. Last Sunday was so delightful...
Good luck Libs. You will be wonderful.
And good luck Rex. Safe flight, wowsome interviews. I am praying for both of you. And Mary darling - I always pray for you - you live in NYC.
Natalie - I will add special prayers for you - alone and at the mercy of Henry, Lucy, and Peter for three days.
Love to all, Nancy
