For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Book of Mormon

Preparing for the Lord's Return
D. Todd Christofferson
"So ye, let us do all we can to relieve suffering and sorrow now, and let us devote ourselves more diligently to the preparations needed for the day when pain and evil are ended altogether, when 'Christ shall reign personally upon the earth; and ... the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.' It will be a day of redemption and judgment."
Sold the Book of Mormon, a Reader's Edition to someone in Salt Lake City.
I slept in until 5. On most mornings that would be fine but not on the morning that we work in the temple. The things that woke me up was James turning the overhead lights on. I thought, why is he turning the lights on in the middle of the night?
Since I didn't take a shower last night I had to jump into the shower before getting dressed. I was ready to go by 5:40. Although James was stressed when we left, we made it to the temple in plenty of time.
The Reidhead's and Brother Hatch did the training. President Reidhead quoted a scripture that I needed to hear today: "Be not afraid and only believe."
As Sister Reidhead and I were looking at the daily ordinance schedule I realized that Delbert Allen Lambson, James's 76 year old cousin was going through to get his endowments today. His brother Neal was his escort. I wanted to tell James but then I realized he probably already knew because he was in doing initiatory. Oh, by the way, today is James's brother Gail's birthday.
I saw someone I used to know in Chandler at the temple today, Joanna Owens. She now lives in Seligman and it was her ward's temple day. She and her husband returned from serving a mission in South Africa in March.
Last time we were here I asked Sister Bradshaw about the pickles she brought for the potluck. She said they were from Fry's and they were Kroger brand. I got some the last time I was in the valley but they were bread and butter sugar free. When I asked if her pickles were sugar free she said, "No!" I didn't even get the bread and butter right, hers were hot and sweet. I guess I will try again while I'm in the valley.
One of my young women, LeeAnn got married at the Vernon chapel this afternoon. He husband has only been a member for four months but I am quite sure this couple will be sealed in the temple.
Sheri and Ian found a letter from Ben's mission president when they returned from San Diego. They should be so proud of Ben!

So grateful for Ben and his love of the Lord and his fellowman.
James went to visit our neighbors, the Elkins'. They just completed a fence around their property and across one side of our property. I believe James went to thank them. He came back and told me that they spent $25,000 on the side of the fence that borders our property.
While James was gone I finished my walking while watching "Chopped Jr." When James got home we watched the latest Hallmark wedding movie, "The Last Bridesmaid" starring Paul Campbell and Rachel Boston. Paul is one of my favorites because he is usually pretty funny. Rachel overacts a little which makes her kind of annoying. This movie surprised me. Paul was serious and Rachel toned it down and I actually enjoyed her in this movie.

Joshua and the San Diego temple
He said the temple was leaking and they were
working on it while it was still open.
Nice picture of Stacy and Paul
They left for home today but will always have
their memories.
Sheri and Ian's boys in mosiac.
I think everyone missed Ben this year.
Woodbury fire.
Being a little lazy this week.
