Enos 1:11-27
*What do we learn about Enos from his prayer for the Lamanites?
*As we experience the blessings of Christ's Atonement, we will seek to help others to receive salvation. "A great indicator of one's personal conversion is the desire to share the gospel with others." - President Howard W. Hunter.
*What can we learn about prayer from Enos's example? (The Lord answers our prayers according to our faith and diligence.)
Alma 55
Moroni refuses to exchange prisoners - The Lamanite guards are enticed to become drunk, and the Nephite prisoners are freed - The city of Gid is taken without bloodshed. About 63-62 B.C.

General Conference
God Shall Wipe Away All Tears
Elder Evan A. Schmutz
"I have observed in the lives and examples of others that exercising strong and abiding faith in Jesus Christ and His promises provides the sure hope of better things to come. This sure hope steadies us, bringing the strength and power we need in order to endure. When we can link our suffering to an assurance of purpose in our mortality and more specifically to the reward awaiting us in heavenly places, our faith in Christ increases and we receive comfort to our souls."
James has to weld his backhoe bucket attachment. It broke while digging the trench for Salvador's sewer line. James's friend Bill actually helped James and welded it for him. Here at home I polished the wood floor in the family/living room. It looks beautiful until somebody walks on it.
I had to take a picture of this because it is
proof that it snowed yesterday.
More proof of snow on the hill in the background.
I visit taught Claire today. Mary said she would go with me but when I texted her she was in town at a teacher conference. This is the second time she has done this. I know she is very busy but I wish she wouldn't say she was going if she really can't.

After visiting with Claire, who by the way is moving next month, I drove in to town to get some groceries. I stopped on the way to Walmart at Taco Bell and got a burrito supreme. As I was eating it in the Walmart parking lot in my car, I heard a tap on my window. I turned around and there were my Vernon friends LeeAnn and Alicia. LeeAnn was one of my young women. She was so excited because she got her driver's license today. She turns 17 on April 6th so it was a little long in coming but I was excited for her.
Monument Valley
This evening while blogging I watched an older Garage Sale Mystery I hadn't seen. My friend Pam messaged me on Facebook and told me she had had a mild heart attack and ask me to remember me in her prayers. I didn't tell her but I pray for her everyday anyway. I will be sure and put her name on the temple prayer roll too.
A bouquet of flowers Ruby brought me from the valley.
I got several texts from the stake Relief Society president regarding ideas for my talk. She told me of some talks that might help and I told her about Elder Bednar's "Patterns of Light" videos.

2012 Beach trip. Ruby is the baby.
When Ruby was here last week I was admiring her
freckles. She told me about this plaque.
The rest of the pictures were taken at
Sheraton Desert Oasis in Scottsdale.
These boys love to go there.

These guys all like to sleep in the same bed,
here they are watching TV.
