Debbie was up early this morning and rode her electric bike for about 45 minutes.  I got up before 7 AM, had my personal prayer, studied scriptures, and showered and shaved.  When Debbie got back we had prayer and at about 8 AM Jared and Jami had put out muffins, juice, fruit, etc with leftovers from yesterday for breakfast.  Everyone pitched in and helped strip the beds and take the bed linen, towels, etc to the laundry room for the housekeepers who will be coming to clean the duplexes for the people who will come next.  We cleaned up and took all the trash to the street.  The city will pick it up tomorrow.  I loaded the Subaru and put the electric bike on the bike rack behind the Subaru.  We took a group picture and had prayer together before leaving.  Tony, Cache, and Cooper went last night to help the bishop who had broke down with some of the young men in the ward who had gone boating on the lake in Southern Utah.  Debbie and I left at 11:20 AM and drove home to Lehi.  We unloaded the SUV and drove to the Highland Stake Building for Alexandra George Gourley's setting apart as a full-time missionary by his Stake President, Alan Bailey.  Alex and I took part in the setting apart.  We took pictures and came home.  Debbie packed and drove up to Karlene's in Shelly, ID for a GPOD board meeting in the morning at 9:30 AM.  I called and talked to Matthew.  I called Beth but no answer.  I left her a message and she called back.  I talked to her, Tucker, Andrew, and Maggie.  Maggie is going to girls' camp tomorrow morning.  I studied scriptures and called and talked to Debbie who had made it to Downey, Idaho on her way to Shelly before I had prayer and read scriptures before going to bed.
