Sunday, and of all the trials and
experiences this day was the worst so far. I was supposed to go 50 miles away
to church with Elder Thorderson, out on account of a cold, which I had, could
not go, which maybe was lucky for me. Elder Thorderson on his way down had a
wreck and the car rolled over, but he was not injured. He also was in a wreck
coming back but both times escaped injury.
We attended church and had baptism
exersizes after, baptizing 8. After which they confirmed them and I had my
first experience at that. I also spoke in fast meeting. After church we were invited
out to dinner. We took the old Ford which the home owns. Elder
Thorderson was driving and going a little faster than necessary. On one of the
crossings he didn’t slow up. A car coming in the other direction done the same
thing and in order to avoid a mixup with the other car he gave the Ford a quick
turn and tipped over. None was hurt but the older Elders badly scart. We
crawled out through the back curtain, tipped the Ford back on its feet and went
to dinner. Had a good dinner and went again to church after. They had a good
program and after they finished they asked the new Elder to talk. Elder Freeman
not being there on account of the scare left the talking to me, and due to the
fact that I've lived through that day I believe I’ll live forever.
I also met Miss Anderson, now Mrs Ensign, who was my English teacher in the 7th and 8th grades. We both recognized each other while in Sunday school, and then after had a quiet little chat. After nights meeting we went to Mr. Tylers place to listen to the radio and have lunch. He knew and was a very good friend of John Adams (known as the Book of Mormon seller).
