I was able to sneak down to Mexico one more time this weekend. Gary Hadley and I went down Thursday night and we hunted all day Friday, then came home early Saturday morning. It would have been nice to stay for Saturday because they had a duck hunt planned, but I needed to speak at the Saturday afternoon session of our Stake Conference. My assigned topic was about providing service to our fellow man. We got to apply the principle on Thursday night near the end of our trip. As we were travelling on the darkest, roughest section of dirt road we came upon a man and a woman waving us down. We stopped and discovered that they had been drinking and had driven their car off of the road and almost into a deep canal. We drove them back to their car, assessed the situation, then drove to John Anderson's house and got a tow strap. We were able to pull them out with my truck after a couple of attempts, and got them back on the road. Hopefully, they didn't kill anybody on the rest of their journey.

We got a bunch of doves Friday morning and then hunted pheasants in the afternoon. We saw lots of pheasants, and Abby had a lot of good points, but most of the birds were hens. We managed to shoot three roosters, but John couldn't find the one he knocked down. That night we had a meal of pheasant, dove and sirloin steak. I cooked some sweet potatoes so that we had some vegetables. Real man food.
