Thank you firefighters for all that you do.

Alma 17:32-18:87 Study Notes

How was Ammon's reaction to adversity an act of faith?

He saw the adversity and went to work.  He had complete trust that the Lord would deliver him from his trail - whatever the deliverance might look like.  

Ammon is such an awesome example of faith in the Lord.  He goes fearlessly to preach the gospel to the Lamanites.  When Almmon is faced with adversity, such as the Lamanites trying to kill him, he fearlessly fights them off.  Ammon had confidence in the Lord and His work.  Faith and fear cannot exist at the same time.  When we have faith and confidence in the Lord and His work we can be great missionaries like Ammon.

There is smoke everywhere outside.  The fire may be under control, but the smoke certainlly isn't.  I am concerned about James coming home because of his allergies.  

This picture was taken by my friend Tina Allen.

For lunch today I had a salad and five crackers with ham and cheese.  

I started to go out and work in the garage but I had seen a mouse the other day and I was afraid to move anything.  I talked myself into waiting until James was here to help.

I cleaned our bedroom and bathroom instead.  I dusted, vacuumed, and washed all of the towels and the rugs.  

James called and said he was on his way home but it was going slow because traffic was bumper to bumper going through Payson.  The 60 is still closed because of the fire.  

Jared posted some pictures of Anna at girls camp this week.  He was one of the priesthood chaperones.  He really enjoyed going and I love these pictures of Anna!

It's the loom hats.  Nice look Anna.

Rock wall climbing

Looking a little shy.  I think that's Amanda with Anna.

I do believe that Jared said they also had a zipline.  What a great girls camp!  So sad that the girls in the Show Low stake didn't 

get to experience girls camp this year because of the fire.

It looks like Addy, Rowan, Ruby, and Lola got to go see the new Dory movie with their cousins today.

I'm sure Trina's mom had something to do with this.

This picture was taken a couple of years ago at the beach.

This is Sheri's picture.  I can't believe how much

Alex has changed!

James brought me a Sonic cheeseburger for dinner.  Sheri sent me lemon cream almonds and picked up my thyroid prescription at Dr. Allen's.  

This is what the sunset looked like tonight courtesy of the fire.

After we ate our burgers we sat down and watched the latest episode of The Good Witch and then went to bed early because we are going to the temple in the morning.
