We enjoyed breakfast with mom and dad and went to an earlier church to attend sacrament meeting. We had to get up and leave the meeting as it was going over. We learned that maybe we should have stayed put until the end. We left for Pauleen's and after saying our good byes Derek, Josalyn, Chelsea, Charlie and Macy headed back to Provo and we left for Boise. As we were just outside of American Falls, we received word from Derek that the car had stopped running. We think the motor froze. I will learn more tomorrow afternoon. So we turned around and headed for Malad where they were stranded. I called Keith and Robyn to see if they could help out. They jumped in the car and headed to Malad. We all arrived at about the same time and found everyone in good spirits given the circumstances. Keith and Robyn took the Provo bound group and we worked with the Tow truck driver to figure out what to do next. It was good to find out that the Tow truck driver was an old family friend of my boss (he is from Malad). We also found out that he graduated the same year as Keith and played sports for Malad. Everyone made it home safely and we finally arrived home at 10:00 PM. We saw some bad wrecks on the way home and one was really bad. They had just removed the roof of the car when we drove by and were working on the occupants. It was sad. Anyway, we were surprised by the snow storm that met us from Pocatello to Burley. Luckily the weather was nicer after that.
Thanks again Keith and Robyn for rescuing your nieces and nephews today.
We are thankful we all made it home safely.
Love the Mechams in Meridian
