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!

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.

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.

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.

“Oh my goodness!” she replied. She said she was turning right around.

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.

He’s now reunited with his pillow.

Ham radio to the rescue … Ham Radio: When All Else Fails!

TTFN!
