Joel spoke in church today. He did a great job, not using any notes just spoke by the spirit. It was wonderful. We were disappointed that there weren't many people there that he knew to hear him speak. His friend Devin came, and a Stake president and his wife from West Jordan. That was really kind of them! Stake president's are busy! When we spoke with them afterwards they said they never get that chance to hear a returning missionary who served in their stake, so it was fun for them. Also, Zander and his mom and dad came. That was so nice to have that support. Joel's face didn't look quite as red from his sunburn (benefits of aloe vera gel applied all night long!) but his legs were hurting pretty bad. Wearing socks and pants were bothersome but he made it!
Nate brought his smoker over and cooked us some yummy chicken for dinner! We made a lot as we were expecting family to come and a few friends. Turned out no one came! We had a LOT of food! We called three different families in our ward to see if they wanted to come over and eat and two of them couldn't come and one never answered our message. Anyway, it was really good! Thanks Nate for taking care of all of us hobbling people and feeding us a really good meal! We were pretty lazy for the whole day! It was great to hear Joel speak of his mission and see how he has grown in his testimony of the Savior. Another wonderful day for our family!

I can't imagine people turning down such great food. But maybe they had theirs in their oven? That chicken looks amazing!
