Welcome Message
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
my counselors and I have watched through tear-brimmed eyes as the Lord has interceded in extremely challenging circumstances after we had done our best and could do no more. We do indeed stand all amazed.
God Among Us
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
While the world was drowning in cynicism, bitterness, hatred, and fear, the example and teachings of these missionaries filled me with hope. The gospel message they offered transcended politics, history, grudges, grievances, and personal agendas. It gave divine answers to important questions we had during these difficult times.
The Living Christ
P10
We testify that He will someday return to earth. "And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together" (Isaiah 40:5). He will rule as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak in worship before Him. each of us will stand to be judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our hearts.
Inklings
I am preparing the rising generation with love, intention, and patience. I make space for agency and never give up on them because the Lord will never give up on me.
Happy 53rd Anniversary to us!
After scriptures and prayers and breakfast, we went to pick up Ruby and Lola. We left the condo a little after 10. Darrel and Trina were both at work and Addy was in charge. Rowan was there too. We asked the girls if they wanted to go to IHOP for pancakes and they both said yes. Lola had a regular pancake with strawberries and whipped cream and Ruby had the chocolate pancakes with whipped cream. I had an egg with bacon, ham, and sausage and hashbrowns and a couple of pancakes. Lola had one of my pancakes. I think James had eggs and ham and toast. Our waitress gave our bill to someone else and had to get things straightened out before we could leave. It took awhile.
Playing tic tac toe at IHOP
After IHOP we went to Deseret Book where I spent the gift card Kim gave me for Mother's Day on a large Old and New Testament. I also bought the girls some markers for the Books of Mormon. When we got to Scottsdale we stopped at Walmart to get some food and then we went back to the condo.
I bought the girls coloring books, a sketch pad and colored pencils at Walmart. We had to do a little coloring before they went swimming.
Ruby gave me a picture of a horse to color. I also got some glitter markers at Walmart and used them on my horse picture and then realized I didn't like the look it created, but I was determined to finish the picture anyway.
The girls had huge floating toys they use when they go to the river. Ruby's is a dragon and Lola's a unicorn. Lola was never able to get up on hers. They love to go over to the hot tub when the pool gets a little cold and then Lola came and told me you had to be 16 to be in the hot tub without an adult. At this time she was ready to go back to our room because she was cold.
Back at the room we had dinner and then we read a chapter from the Book of Mormon before we worked on our puzzle and read from our Dr. Seuss book, The Sneetches and Other Stories.
We read 1st Nephi together and with their new marking pencils I had the girls mark each time a name for Jesus was mentioned. It happened 17 times in 1st Nephi chapter one.

We came to a story called "Too Many Daves." Mrs. McCave had 23 sons and she named them all Dave. That wasn't a smart thing to do. You see, when she wants one and calls out, "Yoo-hoo! Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get one. All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run! This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many Daves. And often she wishes that, when they were born, she had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. (When I said Hot-Shot, Ruby thought that was so funny and we all laughed.) And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate . . .
But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.
End of story.
I share this because we laughed so much at these names and it was so much fun.
After I finished all of the stories in the book Lola took the book and began reading. She is a good reader and read with us from the Book of Mormon too.
We also made copycat Frosty's for our dessert after dinner.
this recipe.
After our bedtime stories it was time for bed. I told the girls we would have time to finish our puzzle tomorrow.
