George's Birthday

George is 72 today. We went on shift at 3:00. The Baileys had prepared a birthday gift for George. They gave him a left handed golf club in a big tube with a golf ball like thing one end and a shoe to couch the club head on the other. Each missionary had written comments on the outside of the tube. They sang to him just as we were coming on shift. I was able to take a couple of pictures and had to leave in the middle of the presentation because I had a tour. He was supposed to go with me but he had to stay to finish reading the instructions for the uses of the tube.

We were waiting for our next tour when Elder Despain came in and said someone wanted to see us who had been to Disneyland. We both remembered the family who had been here about two weeks ago. The family came out of the main video room and we recognized them immediately. Sister Despain had mentioned it was Elder Ross’s birthday when they told her who their tour guides had been when they stopped on their way to Disneyland. We had tried to show them the cabin and/or the video but the sites were all busy after we had toured the Fort. They promised they would return for the rest of the tour. They sang to George. Elder Despain took a picture of us with them. 

We came home and had a piece of birthday cake. There was a plastic flower on the car that played the birthday song over and over. We couldn't get it to stop playing. I broke it trying.
