\"I<\/a>
I Love Bookstores!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today was our normal shift at the Idaho Falls Temple. Up at 4, out the door by 4:45, in prayer meeting at 6, shift ended at 11:45, followed by lunch in the cafeteria. It was a very busy day at the temple. I like busy days there!<\/p>\n

This afternoon I had an interesting experience. I had my ham radio scanning a radio band when a fellow I know called on one of the repeaters wanting to know if anyone could hear him.<\/p>\n

I responded. He said he was up in the mountains with no cell phone coverage and wanted to know if I’d give his wife a call on her cell phone and ask if she had any pillows in her car.<\/p>\n

It took a few minutes, but I did reach her on her cell phone. She had just come into cell phone coverage driving down from the mountains back into Pocatello. I asked her about pillows.<\/p>\n

“Oh my goodness!” she replied. She said she was turning right around.<\/p>\n

It turns out my ham radio friend was up in the mountains on a father and son campout. He’d just been deposited there by his wife, but didn’t get everything out of the car before she left.<\/p>\n

He’s now reunited with his pillow.<\/p>\n

Ham radio to the rescue … Ham Radio: When All Else Fails!<\/p>\n
