The Lord told Joseph Smith of his destiny: "The ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee; While the pure in heart, the wise,...and the virtuous, shall seek...blessings constantly from under thy hand." Why does the Lord allow the evil speaking to chase after the good? One reason is that opposition against the things of God sens seekers of truth to their knees for answers.
-Elder Neil L. Andersen
We returned James's rental car to Hatch's this morning at 8am and drove on to the valley. We went the Globe way. It is a little shorter and I am getting used to it.
We were at the house in Chandler by 11:30am. I work on my Book of Mormon journal while I wait for James to get back from the job at the airport. I tried to get Stacy to go shopping with me but she wouldn't come out of the bedroom.
James and I took Alex and Adam to Jersey Mike's for lunch. They were out painting our fence when we were leaving. After lunch I went shopping at the Bath & Body at the San Tan mall. I bought several antibiotic hand cleansers for $1 to put in the Young Women's Christmas bags.
So cute!
Afterwards I went to Frost and got a sea salt carmel and peanut butter crunch. Yummy!
Next stop, Deseret Book for Christmas Dragon DVD, Food Nanny cookbook, and two Thanksgiving plaques. Costco is just next door where I got some blankets and gas. Back home and ready for the 4pm temple session.
On our way in we saw Robyn Rogers, Adrienne Ellsworth, the Boles', and the Dowdles' and the Lewis' from the Galveston 3rd ward. They were there for a wedding.
Edonna and Crista were already in the chapel and Edonna was so surprised to see us. It was a wonderful session and we were so happy for Edonna. She and her daughter Serah are moving to Connecticut on December 5th so this is probably the last time we will see her. Thanks to Crista!
Edonna on the right.
I love this picture of James carrying our bags into the temple.
It speaks volumes to me!
Before leaving for home I did a little shopping at Sam's Club and got some more blankets, I give one to each of the grandkids for Christmas. On the trip home I read to James from "Friend or Foe". We arrive home around 10:30, just before Darrel.
Exciting news for the Chandler football team. They beat Mt. Pointe 43-22 in the semifinals and will play for the state championship next week against their arch rivals, Hamilton.
