"Sunday, April 16th, we were back in church. There was a new member of my CTR-8 Primary Class attend, Cody McInroe. He doesn't come very often, and he is very quiet when he comes. I was able to attend his baptism several months later (0641.html). George Schultz spoke in Sacrament meeting, and I took words for a possible stanza for Prime Words from his talk:
Monday, April 17th, I went to the POPs luncheon. Mayor Bil White spoke. I was late and was sitting at the back. He came right up to me and shook my hand like he knew me. Then he went to the front and spoke. Good politician. I wrote another possible stanza based on his comments:
Wednesday, April 19th, was the day the name for this Thoughtlet happened. My notes say there Red Cove feedback from both Rick Duran and Mic Patterson. However, it has been so long ago, I can not reconstruct the feedback. There are system messages saying files were deleted in both of their e-mail files for the same time on this day. So maybe this system error is why I can not find e-mails nor files implied by my notes. I recall Rick sent me a note telling me the presentation was much too complex, with too many bullets on each page. He sent me a presentation as an example, and maybe it is on the PC at work, and this is why I can not find the files. Mic sent me a wonderful redraft of my 88 page investment proposal, which after I added photos was 3 pages (http://www.walden3d.com/Red_Cove/pdf/060322_Red_Cove_Village.pdf). I figure anyone interested in my Red Cove feedback can get the general idea by reading this pdf file.
Thursday, April 20th, Melanie contacted me and said that Colby wants to go camping with me in Hong Kong. I found an e-mail dated April 20th to Roger Anderson and Albert Boulanger, implying I talked to them about both Red Cove and the water in Cedar Valley (0618.html):
Saturday, April 22nd, was another big day for my Primary Class. Based on our performance for the Nottingham Country Ward Relief Society social (0610.html), we were asked by Sister Sky in the Stake Relief Society to perform for the Wisdom Women lunch and program on Saturday. I got there at 11:00 and set up the projector and screen. Then the kids arrived at 12:00 and we had an ice cream party. They spent time running and climbing trees and playing baseball and eating ice cream. It was fun. Then at 12:45 we sang our songs. I had used the digital camera to capture some of their comments about what wisdom means. They were very funny, and they would not project so I had to turn the computer around. Oh well! The kids were still a bit antsey, and President Pickerd made the comment, 'They will be forgiven when they are baptized.' Sister Swope is the Stake Relief Society President, and when she went to introduce me to the sisters she said, “Do you know who this is?" Knowing she was going to embarrass me with some comment about Landmark Graphics, I interrupted her and said, “I'm their Primary Teacher." She caught herself, and said, 'Yes, Roice has the best job in the church." We did the same three songs we did before:
Sunday, April 23rd, was typically busy. I had two visitors in my primary class. Cassidy was visiting from Cuidad del Carmen. I found it fascinating I had never even heard of this place before Andrea and I visited there five weeks before this Sunday (0612.html). The other visitor was named Raven, and she was from Brookshire. Also, I believe this was the first Sunday I had a second man in class with me, under the new rules from Church Headquarters that if a male teaches Primary, he is to have another person in the classroom with him. My shadow and substitute is Thor Larson. Thor has a wonderful tenor voice, and it is fun to sing the Primary Songs with him. David Williams spoke in Sacrament Meeting, and I took the following words from his talk as a possible stanza for Prime Words:
Sunday evening I went Home Teaching. I sang 'CTR-8 Testimonies' (0614.html) and “Media." When I went to visit Dong Ning Liu I met her husband, Ting Song, for the first time. Lastly, if my notes are right, this Sunday evening was the day I first learned our newest granddaughter's name: Halle Nalise Wright. And based on all that has not happened, this is much more important than any Red Cove feedback."
