We enjoyed a visit with Rachel and her fiance, Brian. They contributed to an unforgettable weekend. Their flight was late, which prompted a call to the Portland Temple to see how that would affect our schedule for Rachel's own ordinance work. Found out that they had us scheduled for Thursday (the day before), but were gracious and worked us into their schedule (Friday). After parking at the temple, Rachel went to her purse to find the temple recommends and didn't find them - so the temple workers had to call some church leaders in Utah. That should have been enough adventure for one weekend, but no - after a pleasant time visiting with Springfield friends, we drove to Grants Pass. Enjoyed a leisurely Saturday morning and then Rachel and Brian drove down to Medford to pick up a rental car. On their way back, they stopped at Walmart for a few last minute things. Ooops, someone ran into them. With the stress of filling out police reports, contacting the rental agency and the financial concern of the damaged rental car, they were only 40 minutes late to the Grants Pass Open House. Whew! They are going to need a vacation to recuperate from this one. I really like Brian. He is quite the gentleman, polite and courteous, and not only knows how to help after dinner - but is willing! He gets lots of 'brownie points' for that!
