"We Are The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints"

Reyna I. Aburto

Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency

 My fellow disciples of Christ, let us not underestimate the marvelous work the Lord is doing through us, His Church, despite our shortcomings. Sometimes we are givers and sometimes we are receivers, but we are all on family in Christ. His Church is the structure He has given to guide and bless us as we worship Him and serve each other.

I said family prayer before James left to pick up Dave and then go on to Globe to work. Dave helped with some electrical problems.

As I was walking and working on my blog, I listened to several "All In" podcasts. #23. Wendy Ulrich, "How God Expects Women to suse Priesthood Power. #30. Tad Callister, "The Case for the Book of Mormon". (I am now listening to his book by the same name.) #26. Sheri Dew, "Lessons Learned from Following the Prophet."  #33. Barbara Morgan Gardener, "How Women and Men Misunderstand the Priesthood and What We Can Do About It."

I'm not feeling well. My feet hurt so it's going to be hard to get all my steps today. I left a little after nine to pick up Rowan. Darrel, Addy, and Lola were all home. I left the popsicle puzzle for Lola to do. Later Darrel sent me this picture: 

I love the smile on her face!

Next stop, Sheri's to pick up Max and Evan. They both got their hair cut or should I say their heads shaved, but Max still has his beard.

We went through the Chikfila on Chandler Blvd. to get some lunch. Evan got a spicy chicken sandwich with fries and Rowan got a regular chicken sandwich with fries and I got some nuggets. Max didn't order anything.

Once we got to the resort it wasn't long before the boys decided it was time to go swimming. Evan mentioned he forgot his sunscreen so I told him I would go to the store and get him some. I also got a couple of pool balls, lots of rootbeer, and some grape Zevia. I also bought some sandwich stuff for the boys. I asked them what they wanted from the store and all they said was rootbeer so I didn't buy any snacks. Oh yes, I also bought three gallons of water. James hates the water at the resort. I had to make four trips up and down the stairs, or in the elevator to carry everything in. The boys were swimming so they couldn't help. The first trip a couple of guys had a hose and they were spraying the walkways right in front of my door. I told them I needed to get in and they moved out of the way. I almost tripped on the hose once which was a little frustrating.

When I finally finished carrying in the last load I needed to sit down and cool off. I was sweaty and exhausted.

James brought me back a green chili mixed burro from Burger House.  This evening the boys wanted NYPD pizza. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza and 12 garlic knots for the boys and a thin crust veggie pizza for James and I. I had one piece of pizza and James had four. We saved the other three pieces for tomorrow. 

This evening I blogged and walked while James indexed. We had family prayer with the boys before they went swimming again and we went to bed.
