"Our Personal Savior"
Elder Michael John U. Teh
Of the Seventy
The Savior's only desire, His only purpose from the very beginning, was to do the will of the Father. The will of the Father was for Him to assist in "bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" by becoming our "advocate with the Father." Hence, "though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him."

Up at 4:54 this morning. As I was sitting at my desk I got a message from Kristy T. in Chandler. She wants us to come down for Kendall's funeral which is Saturday at 4 p.m. James was their bishop and worked with them to get them to the temple. Kristy said there will be an Honor Guard there. I told her James was still asleep but I would talk to him when he got up.
James and I had prayer and scriptures for yesterday and today. Afterwards James left for town to pick up pills at CVS and some plumbing supplies. We have a leaky faucet in the bathroom, a leaky hose going in to one of the hot water heaters, and something leaking in the pump house. When it rains, it pours - or should I say when it leaks it pours.
I left around 10:15 to go to the post office and then to pick up Catherine. Kerri, her daughter, is out of town and I told Catherine we would go shopping and go to lunch today.
We decided we wanted to go to Safeway but before going there we would have lunch at the Show Low Cafe. I told Catherine my grandparents used to own the motel and the cafe. It looks quite different now. They have done away with the nice dining room and just extended the cafe. I told her how we used to have Christmas dinners here and the kids got to make their own Shirley Temples at the bar. My cousin Rita and I had back to school parties upstairs. We played The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean music and brought food from the kitchen up in the dumb waiter. Also, my wedding reception was upstairs. This is all back when the motel was called The Maxwell House.
Catherine and I both ordered a BLT with avocado and a side of sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. There was lots of bacon on the sandwich and the bacon was cooked perfectly. We ate and chatted. Neither of us could eat more than half our sandwich so we ordered to go boxes and said we would take the other half home for dinner.
Catherine is excited about the Mesa Temple Open House. She was a temple worker there for over 12 years. She told me some stories of when she was the assistant to the brides. She said whenever she is in the Mesa Temple it reminds her of her husband and she gets a little teary eyed. After we said our goodbyes I realized I should have taken a picture. The one I am posting is a few years old and was taken after a session at the Snowflake temple. Since this picture Catherine has lost about 30-35 lbs. She is in her late 80's.
Catherine lives with her daughter Kerri who just turned 61. Kerri took Benson Grapp and they went to the Diamondback game in Phoenix. Benson loves baseball and was so excited to go.
James fixed the leak in the hot water heater connection. Now there is something blocking the faucet in the kitchen and it's just a trickle. There is no way to clean it out because it doesn't come apart. Not sure what the next step is. Also, there is no hot water and James can't light the igniter. Thank goodness this only affects one side of the house. We still have hot water in our bedroom from the other hot water heater.
This afternoon I watched the Holiday Series of The Great British Bake Show while I blogged. I also walked over 12,000 steps.
For dinner James had tilapia and I finished my BLT and sweet potato fries.
Received a text from Kacey regarding Autumn. She is having more health issues. This time it is her heart. They are doing several tests and Kacey went to stay with Scarlett. Of course Charlie went too. Charlie and Scarlett love each other and are more like sisters than aunt and niece. Yes, Charlie is Scarlett's aunt.
Sheri is in Vegas at the Vision Expo with other members of her staff. They are staying at the Venetian where Derek Hough's stars in his own show with his girlfriend, Hailey. Sheri sent me a picture of all of his DWTS trophies which are on display in the hotel.
I believe he won 7 times.
I watched the first episode of "DWTS" this week where Derek is now a judge. They have some good contestants this year, except one old guy from Karate Kid.
More Las Vegas pictures
and Emsley for their baptisms.
Also Liana's YW necklace
