"The Lord Jesus Christ Teaches Us To Minister"
Elder Juan A. Uceda
Of the Seventy
Recently, President Nelson has said: "A hallmark of the Lord's true and living Church will always be an organized, directed effort to minister to individual children of God and their families. Because it is His Church, we as His servants will minister to the one, just as He did. We will minister in His name, with His power and authority, and with His loving-kindness."

5:20 Arise and shine.  James finished up at the MacArthur's today and reset the toilet. Chelsea said her father-in-law could reset the sink. I told James to check back and see if he needs to come and rehang the door. 

I left for Show Low around 12:40. I met Dennis, Denise, and Harold at Chase bank. Harold and I are signing over our share of the land Dad had in Wilcox to Dennis. Dennis has been paying taxes on this land since Dad died in 2007. He deserves to have the land. 

Before we went in to sign Dennis and Denise shared something with me. They said they had breakfast with Greg Butler. Greg is someone I went to high school with. He was a year younger than me. He also worked in my dad's store, Kings Market, as he was growing up. He is the son of Hal Butler who started a logging business way back many, many years ago, and has been very successful. Greg has been on the board of directors at the hospital and has been an influential member of the Show Low community for years. Denise said he told them that he had a crush on me in high school and that I was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Whoa, where did that come from? I never knew this. He never said a thing to me. Greg wore glasses but maybe he needed a stronger prescription. My mom came up with a nickname for Greg when he worked in the store. He wore a white apron, white tennis shoes, and had a feather duster in his back pocket. He always walked with a bounce and my mom nicknamed him "Bugs Bunny." Denise said, yeah, that's what Vickie calls him.

It was fun to be with my brothers, Harold and Dennis Maxwell, even though it was just for a short while. Vickie waited out in her car and when we were finished I went out and said hi to her. Dennis and Denise just celebrated their wedding anniversary and James and I will be celebrating on June 1st and Harold and Vickie on June 7th. It will be 55 years for us and 54 for Harold and Vickie. I think we should get together and go to dinner our do something together to celebrate. I didn't mention it to anyone but I am going to.

My next stop was Walmart to pick up three prescriptions and do some shopping. I really wasn't in the mood to shop so I didn't get everything on my list. I just wanted to get home. 

It rained a little today but nothing like yesterday or Monday. It was still a beautiful day. 

I finished my book "Beauty Reborn" and James and I finished "Coming Home to Bellingham." Both we enjoyable romance books.

James and I started listening to "What Dreams May Come" by Dana LeCheminant. We have a friend from high school who married someone with the last name of LeCheminant. I wonder if Dana is related to Michelle and James.








I didn't know they made caps and gowns so 
small. Kacey and Jared
with Charlie.

James picked up the mail today. All of these puzzles came
and also a kitchen torch. The guy at the post office says
all of our money must go to Amazon.

This is where Sheri works and where Jared started
out as a partner with Dr. Carpenter.
