Oaxaca, Mexico
74th operating temple
Dedicated: 11 Mar 2000
By: James E. Faust

Jesus Christ, Crucifixion
Psalms 22:1
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why are thou so far from helped me, and from the words of my roaring?
Book of Mormon
Alma 56:1-17
*How does Helaman show courage and faith in these verses?
- Helaman shows great courage and faith when he encourages the people of Ammon who had buried their weapons of war and covenanted not to fight to be loyal to their covenants. There is great power and strength in covenant keeping.
Old Testament
Psalms 71-75
71 David praises God with thanksgiving - Who is like unto the Lord!
72 David speaks of Solomon, who is made a typed of the Messiah - He will have dominion - His name will endure forever - All nations will call him blessed - The whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.
73 God is good to Israel - The wicked and ungodly prosper in this world - They will be consumed with terrors hereafter - Those who trust in the Lord will be received up unto glory.
74 O God, remember Thy chosen congregation - The wicked destroy the sanctuary and burn the synagogues - O God, remember them for their deeds, and save Thy people.
75 The righteous praise and thank the God of Jacob - They will be exalted - God is the judge, and the wicked will be condemned.
General Conference
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
"Dear brothers and sisters, we belong to each other. We can be knit together in unity and in love in all things and in all places. As the Lord Jesus Christ invites each of us, wherever we are, whatever our circumstances, please come and see."



How can I encourage Cammy to read her scriptures? 

Hurricane Lane is wrecking havoc on Hawaii where Trina's sister lives.



After Sheri and Max went on their run this morning the three of us went into Walmart and KFC. I figured my budget for September before leaving and bought a suitcase for $39 because the zipper in mine is broken. 

At KFC I ordered the three piece chicken meal and paid Sheri. When James came home he ate the chicken and coleslaw. I ate the biscuit and some of the mashed potatoes and gravy. 

Sheri, Ben and I played a game of Five Crowns and Sheri won. We got a kick out of watching Ollie look out the window. He knows there are bunnies out there.



Sheri, Ollie and I went for a walk while the boys went for a ride on the Razr. It looked like rain so I stuck my umbrella in my pocket.

Sheri, Ollie, and I watched the newest Hallmark movie, "Pearl in Paradise." 

Brother Howard was taken to the hospital in an ambulance today. He is having problems with his heart and his lungs are filling up with fluid. I think he has physically been trying to do too much to prepare for their open house. 

This evening Sheri fixed her family and Rowan steaks for dinner with corn and beans. James and I had green smoothies. I baked some rolls this evening but they are to take to the temple tomorrow. 

I downloaded the audible book and ordered the book club book of the month, "Time and Again," so I can listen to it instead of having to read it. I read half of the first chapter today.


A young man in our ward posted these photos.
Not sure where they were taken.



Sheri saw this castle when she was in Scotland.

What Sky Harbor used to look like
