"The Savior makes all things right.  No injustice in mortality is permanent, even death, for He restores life again.  No injury, disability, betrayal, or abuse goes uncompensated in the end because of His ultimate justice and mercy."

-Elder D. Todd Christofferson

I waited for the rain all day today but it was a no show.  James called and asked me if I was sure I wanted to come down there this weekend because it was 5:30 and 112 degrees.  I am not looking forward to the weather but I am looking forward to the baby blessing and going to the temple on Saturday morning with Kim and Sheri.

At 5:30 this afternoon we had our Young Women's presidency meeting.  Actually it should be called the older women's presidency meeting.  Analee is in her 70's, Ruth is 68, I am 65 and Diana is 60.  For Young Women's this evening we had opening exercises without the young men because they are working at the park helping to clean up for Vernon Days this Saturday.  This was the first time for our new Laurel president Trenda to conduct as she has been gone most of the summer.  After opening exercises we divided into classes and worked on Personal Progress.  I had LeeAnn, Kilee, and Hope.  I was excited that Hope had done several value projects on her own and LeeAnn is on fire and will be completely finished before too long.  She is motivated by the fact that her parents told her she needed to get her medallion before she turns 16 and gets her driver's license.

Around 7:50 we were going over to the park to take the young men some ice cream treats, but as we looked across to the park we noticed it was dark and no one was there.  Brother DeWitt was in the church so we asked him where everyone was.  He said they quit early.  We enjoyed the ice cream with the young women out on the lawn of the church.

James took Ruby to Golden Corral for her date this evening.  They had a wonderful time and I am afraid this little girl has her grandpa wrapped around her little finger.  

Pizza and mac&cheese

Ice cream to go with the strawberries

 This girl loves chocolate!

I loved this week's episode of So You Think You Can Dance.  

My favorite dances were: Casey & Jessica's contemporary, Ricky & Valerie's Hiphop, and Rudy & Tanisha's contemporary.  Mandy Moore and Travis Wall are the best choreographers!

 Top Ten with Allstars next week.  I can hardly wait!
