Book of Mormon
1 Nephi 14
14-And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
Come Follow Me
1 Nephi 1-9; 14:9-11 What is the "great and abominable church" that Nephi saw?
October General Conference
"Eternal Truth" by Elder John C. Pingree, Jr.
Again James took the girls down to breakfast while I stayed back in the room. He's my room service. I do enjoy those bacon and cheese omelets.
After breakfast the girls went to the hot tub. They were gone for well over an hour. When they returned I asked them how it was. Ruby said, "Fine, but the jets didn't work." This hotel really does need a handyman. No ice machine works except on the tenth floor and not the hot tub. I hope they don't ask me to write a review. When I get home I will be sending an email.
James went walking around the hotel while I got ready to go. It was drizzling (light rain) when we left. 11:00 was checkout time.
We joined the ribbon of traffic leaving Orange county. Arizona here we come. The kids slept for awhile and then when they woke up we played Family Car Trivia again for awhile.
We stopped in Ehrenberg, just across the California border in Arizona at the station that has a Wendy's attached to it. The girls said they liked Wendy's. I ordered a Biggie Bag with a junior bacon burger, 5 chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink, all for $5. I was hoping the girls would order a Biggie Bag too but I wasn't going to insist on it. Ruby ordered a cheeseburger and fries and Lola did the same. The cheeseburgers were $7 a piece. I'm not sure on the fries. I would have been happy except for the fact that the burgers were so messy they were difficult to eat. Here is a picture of Lola trying to eat hers:
Next time we will special order cheeseburgers with less condiments.
While I was in Wendy's with the girls James was in the gas station store buying me a necklace.
I love this necklace because James thought of me when he bought it and there was no special occasion approaching, so he bought it just because he loves me.
As we got in to Phoenix James again wanted to go around the mountain to avoid downtown Phoenix. Neither of us was sure which highway we were looking for. James turned on the 303. It go us to where we were going but it was the long way. We finally got to the 202 which is the highway that goes around the mountain.
When we got to Darrel & Trina's there was no one home. There was a gift card, a bag of dark chocolate almonds, a scotch mellow and two cinnamon suckers on the credenza near the front door. Ruby tried to call her mom but she didn't answer so she called Addy. Addy said the gift card to Carraba's and the candy was for us for grandpa's birthday. How thoughtful.
As I opened the front door to leave I was met with one of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen for awhile.
I had made arrangements to spend the night at Darrel & Trina's but James wanted to get home, so we said our goodbyes to the girls and left. Before we even got out of Mesa Trina called and asked if we wanted anything from Panda for dinner. I told her thank you but we were on our way home at James's request. She thanked me for taking the girls and I told her it was our pleasure.
On the way home we ordered green chili mixed burros from Burger House. Mine tasted especially delicious. Maybe it was because I was so hungry.
We got in to rain and snow on the way home. We arrived at home at 9:30 and James went out immediately to feed his babies.
I took a shower, put my stuff away and while James walked I relaxed. I lost my 117 day streak because I had more than two days this week that I didn't get at least 10,000 steps. James's streak is over 350 days.
I loved sleeping in my own bed!
These photos were taken on Wednesday in Cars Land.
