Lots of beautiful places in Arizona
Monument Valley

Alma 53:1-17
1 - Guards were set over the prisoners.  The prisoners were Lamanites and they were burying the dead.
2 - Moroni puts Lehi over the city of Mulek.
3 - Lamanite prisoners commanded to build a ditch around the city Bountiful.
4 - They built a breastwork of timbers upon the inner bank of the ditch.
5 - Bountiful becomes a stronghold ever after.
7 - No more battles this year.  Moroni employs his men in preparing for war, in making fortifications and in providing food for his armies.
8 - Some dissensions among the Nephites.  Lamanites obtained possession of a number of cities.
9 - Because of dissensions among themselves, the Nephites are placed in dangerous circumstances.
10 - The people of Ammon, in Zarahemla, continue to be protected by the Nephites.
13 - The Ammonites see the dangers and affllictions of the Nephites and were moved with compassion and were desirous to take up arms in defense of their country.
14 - Before they break their oath Helaman and his brethren stop them.
16 - The people of Ammon have many sons that had not taken the oath.  They take up arms with the Nephites.
17 - They cvenanted that they never would give up their liberty but they would fight in all cases to protect the Nephites and themselves from bondage.  How can we fortify ourselves against Satan?

GC: Do I Believe? By Bonnie L Oscarson

We took a trip to town today to get some chili shrimp at Panda and to get my birthday present.  We were disappointed to find out that the chili shrimp was just a promotional item and they no longer have it.  
We also went to Walmart to get my birthday present, a Power Cooker.
It's an electric pressure cooker, a rice cooker, a canner
and a slow cooker.  You can also brown and stew in it.
I love it!

My Aunt Gene is in the Show Low hospital.  I got a text from Rita yesterday wishing me a happy birthday and telling me about her.  I was going to go see her but I have a bit of a queasy stomach and I thought maybe I should wait until Monday.

a great granddaughter and a great, great 
grandson.

The summer Olympics are over and Mike Phelps is the big time winner.  "Michael Fred Phelps II is known principally as the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a total of 28 Olympic medals, 23 of them gold, spanning over four Olympic Games.  He has actually competed at five Olympics; however, he did not medal at his first Games in Sydney, Australia."  He has just been hired to be the swimming coach at ASU.

This evening as I was reading to James at the dining room table he spotted elk in the backyard.
The elk go marching two by two,
hurrah, hurrah.

The grass James planted looks better every day.  
There is something about grass that is so soothing.

This is the clubhouse I want him to build for
the kids.

Alex just bought his first car.  It is the red Cadillac that Joe used to drive.
