"Tithing: Opening the Windows of Heaven" by Elder Neil L. Andersen

Kim has been here since Saturday. She and Brian were here. Brian went home Sunday so he could work this week. Kim thought she would spend a couple of days alone but Addy and her friends came up Monday afternoon. The went snowboarding on Tuesday, were here Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. We came Wednesday night. She didn't get much time alone. She is going with me to the women's devotional tomorrow night to hear Elder and Sister Renlund and Sister Susan Porter. We are so looking forward to this devotional for women on International Women's Day. 

Today was what I call a weird weather day. We had snow, snow-like beads, wind, and sunshine. I told Kim that if she didn't like the weather to wait five minutes and it would change. It was that kind of day.

 Still no money for the Daryl Johnson job. James starts to file a lien against Daryl and the rental property where his business is, when Armando calls and says he is meeting Daryl to pick up a check. - I bet it doesn't happen, because Daryl is not trustworthy. He has been doing this for weeks! I was right. Daryl showed up but he did not have a check. I guess he is trying to get money from his dad but his dad is a little hesitant.

I made Bear Creek Creamy Wild Rice soup. It was good but James couldn't eat very much because of the milk. 

I did the dishes and all of the laundry from our trip today. I cuddled with Tom, did three blog posts, and walked 12,000 steps. 

I read from "Painting Kisses" while walking and James and I read from "Dual Devotions" as we walked together.

Kim and I decided we would leave for the devotional tomorrow afternoon at 4:30. It starts at 6:30 at the Show Low stake center but there are four stakes meeting there so we need to get there early.

James went to the post office today to get all of the mail we got while we were gone. We got a box which held the mattress pad I ordered to make our bed a little softer. It is partially bamboo and it says to lay it out on the bed and let it "grow", which we did. When we went to bed we really noticed the difference with this pad. Our bed is much  more cozy.

I listened to Inklings today with Courtney Rich and Rio. The discussed Brother Newman's talk, "Preserving the Voice of the Covenant People in the Rising Generation." They had some good ideas but I miss Emily, or as they say now, President Freeman.

James, ready for scriptures.

Notice the cord. That's his electric

blanket.

Desert Sunset.

Taking care of his baby.

Yes, Charlie does sleep a lot!
