"What We Are Learning and Will Never Forget"
President Russell M. Nelson
President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The future is bright for God's covenant-keeping people. The Lord will increasingly call upon His servants who worthily hold the priesthood to bless, comfort, and strengthen mankind and to help prepare the world and its people for His Second Coming. It behooves each of us to measure up to the sacred ordination we have received. We can do this! I so testify, with my expression of love for each of you, my beloved brethren, in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.


Family Proclamation
#4
The First Commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God's commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

Inklings
"When your greatest desire is to let God prevail, to be part of Israel, so many decisions become easier. So many issues become nonissues! You know how best to groom yourself. You know what to watch and read, where to spend your time, and with whom to associate. You know what you want to accomplish. You know the kind of person you really want to become." - President Nelson

Awake and up at 6:23 a.m. James was already up and gone to Home Depot. When I stay up late, I sleep late. Sheri went on her run and when she came back she made pumpkin muffins. James came home and fixed the well and was done by 8 a.m.

James is ready to go but not everyone is up. He works on getting his pack together. Finally everyone is up. Kim and I take sandwich orders and everyone starts getting their things together. We leave around 10. James, Adam, Kaitlyn, and I are inside the truck and Sheri, Joshua and Evan are in the back of the truck. Alex, Michael, Max, and Joe take the Razr. The Razr went ahead and beat us to the top of Green's Peak. We passed woodcutters, campers, hunters, and joy riders. It was about 11 when we got to the top of the mountain. 
James got everyone together and I took three pictures. Afterwards we had family prayer. James said, "Since this is a family hike we are going to ask Kaitlyn to give the prayer. She gave a very nice one.

The hikers begin as I leave to go back down the other side of the mountain where the road is. It took me an hour to get home, 12 p.m.
James had said they would be at the creek by 1:15 ready for lunch so Kim and I got busy making sandwiches. I did the pbj's and Kim did the ham, turkey, and provolone cheese which Sheri contributed. We got a text saying they wouldn't be there until 2 and then at 2 is was going to be after 3. We arrived at the spot at 3:30 and the hungry hikers were waiting. Kim and I were in the truck and Brian brought his car. Brian drove Adam, Kaitlyn, and Joshua back to the top of Green's Peak to pick up the Razr. Adam was exhausted. Kaitlyn wanted to finish the hike with Sheri, Alex, Max, Joe, and Michael, but she went with Adam instead. James has an ingrown toenail. He and Evan came back home with Kim and I in Kim's car. The hiker's did not take long to get to the cabin and now they can say that they hiked all the way from the top of Green's Peak to the cabin. These are all pretty experienced hikers and they can be proud of themselves. I was proud also of Adam for participating. Joshua says he hikes a lot with his dad and he loves it, Evan, not so much, but he did it.

Sheri brought steak for her family for dinner. Kim and Brian had a roast which they shared with James and I. I had marinated a piece of London Broil all day and asked Michael and James to help me broil it in the oven. Everyone else was finished eating before our London Broil was done and then it was just okay. I thought it would be much more tender. I know if you overcook it gets tough but we only cooked to 155 degrees. The kids ate it but there was lots left. I don't think I will be doing that again very soon. We also had rolls, asparagus, and salad. 

Adam went upstairs to take a soak in the bathtub down by our offices. Michael went in to use the bathroom in the hallway by the kitchen and noticed that water was dripping from the ceiling. I guess there is a broken pipe. Something else that needs to be fixed.
