And it came to pass that I did frankly forgive them all that they had done, and I did exhort them that they would pray unto the Lord their God for forgiveness. And it came to pass that they did so.

Come Follow Me

James and Jared Ammon finished getting the roof on the stable today, in spite of the dangerous air quality here in Vernon. Someone recorded the air quality index at 999. The air quality index in the capital city of India, New Delhi, veered into "hazardous" territy Friday reaching a level of 640 at one point and topping a real-time list of the world's most polluted cities. No one knows about or cares about the pollution in the little berg of Vernon. 

We were supposed to go to the temple with Barbara and Terry Tignor today but when we went by to pick them up Barbara said she couldn't go because she wasn't feeling well. Terry opted to stay home with her. They left James a message on his phone but he didn't get it.

James and I went to the temple by ourselves. 

We went to the 2:00 session. There were six brothers and seven sisters so we were one of the couples in the prayer circle. Brother and Sister Nichols were the officiators. It was a very peaceful session and we really enjoyed our time in the temple. We both forgot a family name so we did temple names, both were oriental. Mine was Si Mii. 

Before having dinner at Eva's in Snowflake I showed James where Sue Hubble is going to live and then he took a picture of one of the first houses he lived in when he lived in Snowflake. There were three. 

I had a chicken enchilada with red sauce and James had a chicken enchilada with green sauce and a side of refried beans. On the way home we had a bit of a misunderstanding and it put a damper on the rest of the evening. Both of us are a little too sensitive and prideful.

Jared had eaten some of the pepper steak before we got home and then he ate some more after we arrived. I guess he liked it. 

I watched the movie, "The Christmas Guide" on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. It was about a girl, Amber Marshall who played Amy on Heartland, who trains guide dogs, and one of her clients who is a single dad and an English professor at the local college. It was one of Hallmark's better movies and I really enjoyed it.

James and I walked this evening while listening to "A Lady's Promise." I got all of my own steps. 

Sheri went to the hospital today because of pains in her stomach. They said she had a bleeding ulcer in her uterus. They gave her some pain medication but it is not helping. Every time she eats something she is in severe pain. In spite of her pain she took dinner to Alex this evening. James and I are praying for her and will fast for her on Sunday if she isn't better.

These girls get to spend the weekend together.
