"Room in the Inn"

Elder Gerrit W. Gong

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

First, we come to the Inn as we are, with the foibles and imperfections we each have. Yet we all have something needed to contribute. Our journey to God is often found together. We belong as a united community - whether confronting pandemics, storms, wildfires, droughts or quietly meeting daily needs. We receive inspiration as we counsel together, listening to each person, including each sister, and the Spirit.

Family Proclamation

P3

In the Premortal Realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.

Inklings

"I Love to See the Temple"

I am increasing my desire and worthiness to enter the temple - a place where divine revelation awaits and my spirit recognizes God's presence.

James got up, went for a walk, took a shower and then made breakfast for the boys...eggs, sausage, bacon and toast. I got up, took a shower and began packing up to go home, cleaning as I went. Stacy said they were not going to stay tonight because Joshua doesn't want to, so I didn't bother making the bed.

After breakfast I cleaned the kitchen. James packed up most of the food and took all of the suitcases out to the car. We had prayer before we left. I gave each of the boys a hug, except Max, who had gone back to bed. It was 9:00 a.m. when we left the resort. 

We stopped at Walmart to get gas because it was cheaper at $2.91 a gallon than anywhere else. I happened to see Ray's Pizza and it reminded me of being in New York City with Dennis and Denise and eating at Ray's Pizza. I wish I would have remembered that there was one here. Maybe next year.

We left Scottsdale using Shea Blvd. to get to Highway 87 which is the highway going to Payson. We listened to several chapters of "A Banner is Unfurled". When we got to Payson we drove through Taco Bell for lunch. I got a regular crispy taco and a taco supreme. James got a burrito supreme. 

I did quite a bit of napping after Payson. I completely missed Show Low. We were home by 12:30. James unloaded the car. I put most of the stuff away except for his personal items. We both rested and then James took the box of Sees candy over to Chuck. Chuck was appreciative but he did not seem surprised so I guess Kathy told him. I wish I would have told her not to because I wanted to surprise him.

Stacy called. Michael wants to go to the condo and because Michael is going Joshua wants to go. Would I please call and see if she could pick up the key? I did, and she can, and I suppose she did. I reminded her that check out time is 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.

I did a little indexing and blogging but did not finish my 10,000 steps for today. I was just too tired. This evening I watched the newest summer Hallmark movie, "You Had Me at Aloha" starring Kavan Smith and Pascale Hutton who play Lee and Rosemary Colter on "When Calls the Heart." They make a great couple and have good chemistry together. I liked the movie. James was indexing and came over towards the end and finished watching it with me.
