Phoenix temple
 
"I believe that Heavenly Father binds us to our
kindred dead in many ways.  I feel bound to
Great-grandmother Ballard by the priesthood sealing
ordinances.  I also feel bound to her faith, which I
have learned about through her own written
words and those of other family members who have
recorded her history."
-M. Russell Ballard
 
While James and David were finishing up at the Willis' this morning, I went shopping for James's birthday at Kohl's.  I bought him a shirt, pants, and shoes.
 
This afternoon we went to the Gilbert temple.  On the way we stopped at Deseret Book and got another book by the same author of the last one, Laurie Alice Eakes.  This one is called "Reluctant Courtship."  I think we missed one that goes between this one and the last one so we will be reading them out of order.  Oh well.
This series is called The Daughters of Bainbridge House.
 
Oh temple session was wonderful, and just what I needed.  I always feel such peace and comfort in the temple.  We took the opportunity to put several family names on the temple prayer roll. 
 
After the temple I met with John Usher and we walked around the yard.  It looks worse than I have ever seen it.  He came me a price and said he would come and do it while we are out of town on Saturday. 
 
This evening we joined the other fans of the "Scuba Steve's", the name of Michael and Joe's band, at Sozo's Coffee House.  They put on an awesome show!  One of their favorite bands is "Good Ole War" so they sang some of their songs.  One of the guys who used to be in the band "The Format" introduced them.  Tara, Paul's sister,  even came clear from the British Isles to hear Michael perform.

 
"Better Weather"
I had to include this!
John, Michael, Matt, and Joe

Connor joining the guys on stage to help sing Michael's original
song, "The Pirate and the Bear."  I think it was my
favorite song of the night.
