Back in Utah, the Thompkins' Home Teacher, Jim Slater, asks his Elders Quorum President, Fred Washburn, for release, feeling like he's failing the inactive families for whom he has responsibility. Fred says he will comply, but only if Jim tries one last time. Not knowing of the discord, Jim and his partner Ronny find Rick's sister home alone and she tearfully explains that "nothing is right." Even more convinced of his failure, Jim asks for release again. Rick writes, asking Jim to help and enclosing part of a letter from his mother which explains that she had wanted to confide in Jim as her Home Teacher, but he seemed aloof, with other things on his mind. Jim has his secretary, Brenda, arrange a fishing trip with Fred and Bishop Weston. Over the campfire they all admit failure in not helping the Thompkins and resolve to do better. Bishop Weston cites The Doctrine and Covenants, Sec. 107 verse 100 "...he that learns not his duty and shows himself not approved shall not be counted worthy to stand." Rick returns to his flat with his companion one evening to find a letter from his mother telling how the three men have been counseling his parents together. Written by Brian Greenhalgh See less
