As we love, share, and invite, we take part in that great and glorious work that prepares the earth for the return of its Messiah.

Up at 5:06. We studied the ten commandments in our "Come Follow Me" lesson. They are in Exodus 20. Then in our Book of Mormon study we happened to be in Mosiah 13 where Abinadi recites and teaches the ten commandments to King Noah and his people. I just thought it was serendipitous that we had the ten commandments two times in one day.

 James took his tire into town to be fixed. He had to come back because he forgot something. He then went back into town and took the tire to Robert's Tire. Last time they fixed his tire for free. He leaves and tells them he wants the tire fixed and mounted. When he gets back the tire was not fixed or mounted. They told him the tire was too old and that he needed to buy a new one. He was so upset that he just left and came home. Now he has to go back tomorrow to get the tire fixed. 

James told me that the Peeler's got scammed recently. They are the sweetest couple and it makes me so sad that people take advantage of old people. 

BTW, ham sandwiches with avocado are wonderful. I had one today. 

Tamara sent out this email today:

Help! I've got too much on my plate today and rest of the week. I have the sign up sheet for desserts for Skit Night. We thought we should have 12 sisters sign up but I only have 9. Do you think that will be enough? Pat is bringing a Texas sheet cake that will feed more than the 12. I also need someone to call and remind the sisters who did sign up. Anyone available to help with this? 

I knew Kerri was probably teaching school and Maxine has phone issues so I volunteered. I called all nine sisters on the list and at least one had forgotten so I am glad I called. I also told Tamara that I would make a dessert. Wendy DeWitt is very excited because they are bringing some of their neighbors, a non-member family.

I finished listening to Elder Hafen's book, "A Broken Heart" and started the book, "God will Prevail" by Brother Kerri Muhlstein. 

I also finished listening to Elder Halverson's "Unshaken" and started Book of Mormon Central. James and I read The Gents Book Two: Lily of the Valley. You can do lots of reading or listening when you walk as much as I do. I also watched a Hallmark movie, "The Royal Roadtrip." 

Both vacuums are down. I ordered a belt for the Oreck and hope it will come soon. Sandra Wilhelm says she can hardly get Lanel to take off her Little Mermaid costume.
