We were visiting my sister in Montana

We were visiting my sister in Montana. It wasn't always easy to get to church on vacation. One Sunday I wanted to go to Sunday School, but we were going to go to Helena instead. My mom and I had our own Sunday School before we left. We had some good thoughts about the Commandments and the first Psalm. And we talked about three "R's"—reject, replace, and rejoice.

Then Mom, Grace, Andy, and I started on our way. That's when my hand got smashed in the heavy truck door. I was crying because it hurt so much. So Mom started reminding me about what we talked about. When we got to the top of McDonald Pass, Andy and I played in the snow, and by the time I got back in the car I was fine!

Cold Spring Harbor, New York When I shut the pickup truck door on my daughter's hand, there was no panic. She said very calmly, "Mom, you better open the door now," but there were tears in her eyes. I told her not to look at her hand and quickly covered it, noticing that the knuckles were bruised and the palm was scraped. I felt bad that I'd been so careless, especially since my oldest daughter had wanted this outing with her boyfriend to go well. And he was upset that he had nothing to give Lilly, as his first-aid kit was elsewhere.
