I love this sunrise
I went to the Snowflake temple this morning by myself.
It was very crowded but I saw a friend from high
school and a couple of friends from the Vernon ward.
Happy Birthday Kacey!
I am so grateful for you and your wonderful influence on Jared.

Helaman 6:32-41
What did the Lamanites gain by following the commandments of God?
The Lord poured out His Spirit upon them (verse 36).
They rid themselves of the Gadianton robbers (verse 37).
Lamanites to Gadianton robbers: "We are going to hunt you down and preach to you.
Gadianton robbers: "Nooooo!!!! Anything but that! We are out of here!
In all fairness, some of the robbers were converted and remained in the land.

I am often asked, "what is the greatest challenge our youth face today."? I anser that I believe it is the everpresent influence of
the "great and spacious building" in their lives.
If the Book of Mormon was written specifically for our day, then surely we cannot miss the relevance for all of us of the messages in Lehi's vision of the tree of life and the effect of those pointing their fingers and taunting from the great and spacious building.
We need only to keep feasting and not heed those who would make fun of our beliefs or those who delight to create doubts or those who find fault with Church leaders and doctrine.
It is a choice we make daily - to choose faith over doubt.
Elder M. Russell Ballard has urged us to
"stay in the boat, use your life jackets, and
hold on with both hands."
GC: 'A Pattern for Peace' by Bishop Waddell
"Walk in the Meekness of My Spirit"
However far we may wander from the path,
the Savior invites us to return and walk with Him.
This invitation to walk with Jesus Christ is an invitation to
accompany Him to Gethsemane and from Gethsemane to
Calvary and from Calvary to the Garden Tomb.
It is an invitation to observe and apply His great atoning sacrifice, whose reach is as individual as it is infinite.
It is an invitation to repent, to draw upon His
cleansing power, and to grasp His loving, outstretched arms.
It is an invitation to be at peace."

After my trip to the temple I stopped at El Cupido's and got a bacon breakfast burrito to eat on the way. My next stop was at the Show Low hospital to say hi to Aunt Gene. She was sleeping and when I woke her we spoke a few minutes but she had lost her hearing aid and couldn't hear me very well. I didn't stay too long. Bill, Rita's husband, was there and I gave him a loaf of whole wheat zucchini bread.
I would love to have a flower garden like this!
After visiting Aunt Gene I did some shopping at Walmart, stopped by Firehouse Subs and got a couple of subs for dinner, went to Dollar Tree for some more goodies for Primary, got gas and washed my car. It was almost 4pm when I got home. I traveled 98 miles.
Adam, thanks to Alex, was able to go to the towing company and set James's truck free. We won't be down to get it until October 5th. I am going a day early for my appointments so I can spend some time with my friend Charlotte to celebrate our birthdays.
I love this nighttime picture of Mooney Falls.
