Jesus Christ, Types of, in Anticipation
Alma 25:15
Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.
Book of Mormon
Alma 38:1-15
Come Follow Me

James got up early this morning and after a prayer and a kiss he left to go to 51st Avenue. It was his understanding that the doctor was moving in today and he wanted to make sure all the re-dos were done. 

I did my gospel study. I loved this scripture from the Book of Mormon:
Alma 37:37
Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

This from the Come Follow Me lesson this morning:
If I follow Paul's example of humility and boldness in sharing the gospel, I may find someone "whose heart the Lord has opened." (Acts 16:14)

When James got home he was starving. I had a piece of cake for breakfast and a cookie but I was hungry too. I was hungry for Pei Wei and James didn't seem to care so that's what I ordered, chicken and broccoli for me and Thai basil cashew chicken for James. We went to pick it up and it was ready. We stopped at Walmart for gas and I had the food sitting on my lap. When I got back to the resort my legs had pink splotches on them through my clothes. We took my car to pick up the food which was a mistake except for the fact that we got gas. Whenever we stop at a light the air conditioner goes off and there are plenty of lights between the resort and Pei Wei. Next time we go out we will bring the truck.

James's food was delicious, served over fried rice. Mine was what you would expect from chicken and broccoli over noodles. Next time I will order something more spicy.

This was not a good day for Kim. Not only is Brian bedridden but she took Tiger to the vet and they had to put him down. Tiger was her cat and she was very attached to him. Brian has not been able to work and she is worried about that, not only about him getting well.

James took a nap after lunch and then he went to Fry's to get some watermelon. He came back with over $30 worth of stuff including blueberries, cherries, a delicious watermelon, eggs and milk.

James wanted to go to Walmart to get some shoes. I needed to get some more groceries but I told him I didn't want to go out until it cooled down a bit, like after the sun goes down. It's almost 120 degrees out there. 

I did my normal things that I would do at home. Walked, listened to my book, worked on my blog, and studied the scriptures. I have added another book, one that I borrowed from Kim. It's a Julie Klassen book called, "The Bridge to Belle Island."

We left this evening to get some dinner and to do some Walmart shopping. This is a 24 hour Walmart and I can see why, people probably go shopping after dark when it's so hot.

Our first stop was at Chikfila for dinner. I had a chicken salad and James had chicken nuggets. I ordered a peach drink but when it came I thought it looked like it had tea in it. I asked the server and she said yes. I told her I couldn't drink tea and she asked if I wanted a peach lemonade. I told her yes! She was so nice about replacing my drink with one that I could drink. 

James and I separated when we got inside Walmart. I headed for the grocery section and he went to look for shoes. 

Back at our room after everything was put away I sat down to figure out my budget. At the beginning of the day I had $261.92. After all of our shopping I have $16.80 left for the rest of the week. I guess I will be staying in the room instead of shopping!

James and I stayed up past our bed time to work on our puzzle.
We did some walking but my right knee was really bothering me.
