"What Has Our Savior Done For Us"?
President Dallin H. Oaks
First Counselor in the First Presidency
"What has Jesus Christ done for me?" that sister asked. Under the plan of our Heavenly Father, He "created the heavens and the earth" (D&C 14:9) so that each of us could have the mortal experience necessary to seek our divine destiny. As part of the Father's plan, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ overcame death to assure each of us immortality. Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice gives each of us the opportunity to repent of our sins and return clean to our heavenly home. His commandments and covenants show us the way, and His priesthood gives the authority to perform the ordinances that are essential to reach that destiny. And our Savior willingly experienced all mortal pains and infirmities that He would know how to strengthen us in our afflictions.
Jesus Christ did all of this because He loves all of the children of God. Love is the motivation for it all, and it was so from the very beginning.

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.

"The Principles of My Gospel"
"How do we hallow the Sabbath day? In my much younger years, I studied the work of others who had compiled lists of things to do and things not to do on the Sabbath. It wasn't until later that I learned from the scriptures that my conduct and my attitude on the Sabbath constituted a sign between me and my Heavenly Father. With that understanding, I no longer needed lists of dos and don'ts. When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, 'What sign do I want to give to God?' that question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear." - President Nelson
There is a problem with the water pressure. Something is wrong with the well. Why does this happen when we are expecting a houseful of people this weekend.
James thought he fixed it. It worked for awhile and then the pressure would go down. This went on throughout the day. This afternoon before we left for town, the pressure was fine.
Kim and I finished Season 1 of "The Great British Baking Show." Nancy was the winner. Kim was bummed because the balloon puzzle has two missing pieces. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I bought it at Goodwill. The puzzle still looked great, one of my favorites.
James and I went to town after I finished cleaning upstairs and he cleaned off the patio. James went to Home Depot and Tractor Supply. He got horse feed at Tractor Supply. When we left, the well was working fine.
I picked up some things at Walmart and then we were on our way home. Alex, Joe, and Max greeted us as we drove into the garage. Joe and Alex heard that Grampa was going to take the hike tomorrow cross country and they objected, thinking they might get lost. They argued with James a little while and then went on a Razr ride. Later I came into the family room where Alex was sitting and he asked me, "Gramma, what do you think of grampa going cross country on the hike tomorrow. Do you think we will be okay." I said, "Alex, do you trust grampa?" Yes. "Then don't worry about it, you will be fine."
He didn't complain again.
Sheri and Evan came early this evening. Adam, Michael, Kaitlyn, and Joshua came after we went to bed. It was after 11:30. They tried to go to Walmart to pick up some groceries but it was closed. I knew they started closing early but when I looked online it said they were open until 11.
Alex did some bat wrangling during the night. One flew through the common area upstairs. Alex grabbed Max's jacket and whacked the bat. He bat went flying towards the fireplace and hit one of the triangle windows and then landed on the ground. Yay Alex! Alex said there is another one and hopefully he will be able to get him tomorrow night. I told them all to always keep their bedroom doors closed to keep the bats out of the bedrooms.
Before we went to bed the pressure on the well went down again. James called for everyone to come to the dining room table and told everyone if we were going to have water pressure tomorrow he needed to fix the well. Should he do it before the hike or after. He had originally wanted to leave at 6 a.m. Everyone present voted to have grampa fix the well before the hike. He thinks they said that because they wanted to stay up late tonight and not have to worry about getting up early. He agreed he would get to Home Depot when they opened and get back and be as quick as he could about fixing it.
Earlier today James and Brian went up to Green's Peak. James wanted to climb up the tower but it was locked. He wanted to see the exact direction as to where our house is but now he will just have to use his "spidey" skills.
I never see. The other two kids are Jacob, and Erin.
I love this look but don't dare have white
couches up here.
