October General Conference
"Brothers and Sisters in Christ" by Elder Ulisses Soares
Up at 5:20 this morning.
James was so stressed today and a little sensitive. I asked him why he was so stressed and he said he has a lot on his mind. He also has to try and keep Jared Ammon busy and he can't always be right there with him when he works and sometimes he needs to be there when he isn't. He also has an opportunity to do a huge job at the Deer Valley airport and he needs to get the bid in soon. If he gets this job and it works out well, he could retire. Oh yes, one more stress, he can't get on his Gmail account and that's where all of his business folders are. I got him on Google with a new password but I am not sure he ever got on Gmail.
James asked me to go to Taylor this morning to pick up some steel for the stable but I declined because I am going to the temple this afternoon with our friend Ruth Gale.
Ruth and I met in the 3:30 Snowflake, Az temple session. I also sat by DiAnn Elmer, my former temple shift coordinator when I was a temple worker. It was fun to visit with her a little but boy I sure had a hard time understanding her. She talks low and fast and sometimes when she said something to me I just had to smile.
Kim and Yvonne Mattice led our session. Kim is the priesthood holder and he gave one of the nicest prayers I have ever heard. I was in the prayer circle because there were only 3 or 4 men in this session.
A member of our stake presidency, President Alder, and his wife, who is the stake choir director were in our session. I wanted to go over and talk to them in the celestial room as I was waiting for Ruth but never did do it. Later I saw them as I was going in to Eva's for dinner and got to tell them then how much I enjoyed stake conference, and how fabulous the music was. They both seemed grateful. I didn't talk long as Ruth came out looking for me.
As Ruth and I were eating our dinner here are some of the things we talked about: Ruth's recent reunion with her kids at Show Low Lake. She said it was a bit of a disaster but some good things did come out of it. It was extremely windy, they were in the scrub oaks instead of the pines and her son David's family dog got attacked by a big dog and almost died. She said David gave his family's dog, Daisy, a blessing and she lived and is now okay. That was a good thing. One of Shelly's kids who is estranged from his dad saw a video of his dad before his mom and dad were divorced from a few years back and wanted a copy. That was the other positive.
I wish I would have told Ruth about Fool's Hollow Lake. I guess I still have time. She won't be in charge of their reunion again for five more years.
She told me a little about her Alaskan cruise. I told her about how I got a new car and I also gave her an advertisement for a new deck of cards for her to play Hand and Foot rather than using face cards.
We said our good byes and on the way home I stopped at the Taylor Circle K and bought some gas. I actually figured out how to use my EasyPay card and saved 10 cents a gallon.
Rita called me on the way home and said she would be at gramma and grampa's old house in the morning if I would like to join her to look at pictures. I said I had an appointment to go to the temple but I thought I could change it, which I did.
When I got home I watched part of DWTS Disney 100 night before James came in and asked if we could listen to our book, "The Queen and the Knave" and walk.
James received a $3,500 check today from someone who is doing work at the St. Johns airport. The check was for James's license and consultation.
