3 Nehpi 22

In the last days, Zion and her stakes will be established, and Israel will be gathered in mercy and tenderness; They will triumph; Compare Isaiah 54. About A.D. 34.

Alma 26:17-37

*Read Alma 26:23-29. What are some of the obstacles Ammon and his brothers faced in their service to the Lord and the Lamanites?

*According to Alma 26:27, 30, what motivated Ammon and his fellow missionaries to continue to serve?

*Read Alma 26:31-34 looking for some of the results of the labors of the sons of Mosiah.

Certain Women

Linda K. Burton

"The multi-generational certain women I met in Hong Kong and Taiwan continue to bless the lives of their families, Church members, and communities by remaining centered in the Savior and willingly sacrificing to keep covenants. Similar certain women are found throughout the Church."

My Peace I Leave With You

President Henry B. Eyring

" Your power to do good will depend, to a great degree, on the unity and love that exist among you. This is another gift of peace that comes through the Holy Ghost"

Cinnamon rolls for breakfast and bacon. I accidentally cooked Kim and Brian's thick bacon instead of ours. I discovered it after only four pieces were gone. Kim got rather upset. I felt bad. I certainly didn't do it on purpose. I hate thick bacon.

Kacey, Jared, James, Anna, Summer, and Molly all go to Walmart to get groceries. James and I go separately. Tanner and Emmy stay home and work. James and I stopped at the hospital to pick up the "horsey" I am giving Lola for her birthday. We tried it out in the car and it made us laugh. I was going to go in Walmart and get some things but it look way too busy. Kacey said it was insane.  We were also going to go to LaCasita for lunch before we realized that they are closed on Monday's.  We went to Sonic and so did Kacey and Jared. We both got ice. 

We stopped at the Vernon post office on the way home and Addy texted me and said she saw us there. She just arrived with Sheri, Ben, Max, Evan, Rowan and Ruby. They were all at the cabin when we returned.

I played Five Crowns with Max, Sheri, and Ben. Max ended up winning as he said he would. After the game Sheri made chocolate chip cookies and then told us she was heading home. She had considered staying the night but decided against it.

Addy and Emmy went on a Razr ride with Tanner and while Addy was driving under the direction of Tanner turned a corner and ripped the canvas top.  I told her it was ok and not to be concerned.

Sheri had given me some cash for her boys so I decided to go to Dollar General and get some things. James, Anna, and Summer went with me. As we were leaving the cabin Jared had just returned from the pit and was going back again with Emmy, Addy, and Tanner. We had already talked about not allowing anyone without a driver's license to drive the Razr except for around our place or down to Chocolate Lake or the Boy Scout village.  

While shopping I got a call from Jared. He had allowed Addy to drive down the pit and she rolled the Razr. Luckily no one was seriously hurt but Addy was pretty shook up. Just as soon as I hung up the phone with Jared Trina texted me and ask if Addy was there. I had to call and tell her what happened. Addy called her and ask her to come and get her because she wanted to go home.  When we got home we talked to Addy and calmed her down. She had a headache as did Tanner and Jared had a huge sore on his arm.

I made taco soup for diner. After dinner Evan and Rowan sang me some songs they had wrote, and then Evan Facetimed Sheri.

Evan also played the ukulele

Rowan wrote a serious song about

war and soldiers called "Innocent  Lives."
