When the Lord Jesus Christ finished paying the debt for our mortality the veil in the temple was torn. (Matt. 27:51) Symbolically and literally, the barrier between man and God was broken by the Savior's Atonement. Through the Atonement, Adam can now return to and be like, God. If we have put the Atonement into full practice by making and keeping the covenants of exaltation, we are prepared to pass the guardians and enter the Holy of Holies. (p. 132)
Jared is still staying downstairs most of the day, but James says he really is sick.
I got a call from Vickie, my sister-in-law, this morning. She is my brother Harold's wife. Their son was just diagnosed with bladder cancer. We talked for an hour and a half before Vickie said it was time for her to go.
James was going to put my new license plate on my car except he can't seem to find it. It was on the counter in the kitchen and he said he picked it up and was going to carry it out into the garage to put it on but he realized how late it was and he needed to take a shower before we left for dinner with our friends. When he got out of the shower he couldn't find the license plate.
We are also still waiting for our money from Liberty Mutual insurance. They mailed it on August 29th. I am afraid they probably used our physical address instead of our P.O. Box number.
Darrel's family went to Maui in spite of the fire in Liahana where they were going to stay. I guess they stayed somewhere else but still had a great time.
In east Texas new Charlie has learned to ride her bicycle without her training wheels. Go Charlie!
We met Janna and Willy Grombach at the church parking lot tonight at 5 p.m. and they rode with us to The Pasta House in Pinetop where we met Ralph and Cheryl Sedig and Lynn and Roger Wallace. I reserved a table for 6 p.m. for 8 people. The Pasta House is a made over house in Pinetop. It is small but elegant. James and I sat across from Roger and Lynn Wallace and got to know them a little better throughout the evening. Here is what everyone ordered:
Ralph and Willy both got spaghetti with meatballs. Cheryl ordered lasagna, Lynn baked ziti, Roger stuffed shells, James halibut, and Janna and I ordered the special, filet mignon with gorgonzola sauce.
For dessert James and I shared a chocolate torte with vanilla ice cream. He ate the torte and I ate the ice cream. Janna and Willy got the creme brulee as did Ralph and Cheryl. Lynn got the cannoli and Roger the cheesecake. All of the desserts were delicious.
We enjoyed visiting with Willy and Janna in the car. Janna is staying with her mom, Pat Tedder. Pat thinks she had a stroke the other day. The doctor said she was in a-fib. Janna is taking her to the doctor on Thursday and hopes they can get a pacemaker for her.
It was a nice evening, a way for us to show a small expression of our gratitude for all the the guys have done to help with our stable. Ralph and Willy have done all of the welding and have asked for absolutely no pay. Roger comes to help. We will probably be taking them out again before the stable is finished.
