with relatives. Biness & Bessie were staying in our home & took care of Daisy who was 9 years old. Lou took her father & took care of him for he was getting quite helpless & needed a lot of care. I had a wonderful visit, went through the temple several times. Lizzie got false teeth for me as I had mine all out & did so many nice things for me she had a good job as copyist in the city & county building. I went to the Primary Conference & came home by rail, the Stake Primary paid my fare home. Lizzie always did a lot of things to help me in many ways. & I am so thankful Forest & Leigh helped his father & I, & Lou & Roy to take that trip for the Sealings they got done. That time it was in the St. George Temple where Moroni & I had been Sealed when married. When I got home Hugh had planned to take his father, Daisy & I to the Frisco Hot Springs. They had helped many crippled people. I didnt get to tell Sister Hamblin the message I got at Conference for Primary, for Hugh took us on to the Hot Springs next morning to be there five weeks. There was much to do to prepare for a five week stay away up in the mountains, 14 miles above Luna Valley. When we got there, there were several families from Luna & a nurse Sister Nelsen. The others stayed two weeks but Sister Nelsen stayed on with us, she said she wouldn't leave me with my near-helpless husband

and I did appreciate her kindness. It was such a blessing to have company. She & Moroni had many good visits while Daisy & I had long walks near the camp. There were houses to live in & a bathhouse with several rooms with bath tubs. I would stay by Moroni while he soaked in that warm mineral water. He improved much the first 2 weeks. We couldn't see any improvement after 2 weeks. When the five weeks were up, Hugh came for us. We took Sister Nelsen to Luna on our way home, very thankful for her company & that Moroni was improved but his paralysis was too settled for the mineral bath to help him much. Although it was nice in the mountains I was glad to get home with my family. When the Stake Primary officers were changed to Eager, Sister Hamblin & her counselors were released that let me out of Stake Primary. I loved to work with Sister Sady Hamblin.
In 1927 Jay took us to the Dedication of the Mesa Temple. Moroni was getting so feeble then. I worked at everything I could get to do before he got so feeble I had to stay with him. Jay wanted to go to an Air school to learn to be a pilot but I begged him to stay & help with his helpless father. He gave it up & was as kind & gentle with his father & everyone & later got to be a pilot & own a plane.
