"Fruit that Remains" by Elder Matthew L. Carpenter
'The Holy Ghost, in His divine role as the Holy Spirit of Promise, will seal each ordinance upon those who are faithful to their covenants so that it will be valid after mortality. Having the Holy Ghost seal our ordinances is essential if we want to have the promised blessings for all eternity, becoming fruit that remains.'
D&C 109:15
And that they may grow up in Thee, and receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost, and be organized according to thy laws, and be prepared to receive every needful thing;
I attended the 9:30 temple session with my friend Sue Hubble who now lives in Snowflake, and sisters from the Vernon ward. I was a little confused, thinking I needed to leave at 8:30 when really I should have left at 8. It was actually 8:20 when I hurried out the door.
It was almost 9:15 when I rushed in to the temple. Stefani and Alicia Hunsaker were walking in to do initiatories. They said they had a busy day helping their husbands get ready for the Priesthood Commemoration Campout which is tonight a Carnero Lake near Greens Peak.
As I walked upstairs towards the dressing room the sister greeter at the door to the session room asked me if I was going to this session. When I said yes, she said, "Please hurry." I did hurry.
I changed my clothes in locker #7. I always use #7 or #8 if they are available. Today Emily's husband Greg is having surgery and since Emily's favorite number is 7, I chose locker #7. Crazy, I know.
I made it in the session in plenty of time and sat by two of my friends, Sue Hubble, and Lynn Wallace. Sue turned to me and said, "Did you speed." I just looked at her. She laughed and said, "I didn't have to speed, I could drive like an old lady because I only live six minutes away. She recently moved to Snowflake.
The Vernon sisters took up two rows. Row #1: Mary Gilbert, Teresa Smith, Cheryl Sedig, and Kristine Hipps. Row #3: Natalie Robles, Sue Hubble, myself, and Lynn Wallace. I am still counting Sue as a Vernon sister. We also had the Hunsaker sisters doing initiatory so that makes 10.
Natalie went home after the session. Mary, Teresa, Cheryl, Kristine, and Lynn all went to Streets on Main for lunch. Sue and I went to Eva's because we wanted chili rellenos.
As we walked in to the door of Eva's we saw two more sisters from Vernon, Judy Hunter, and Millie Scott. They wanted us to come and sit at their table, so we did. They were almost finished eating but they stayed and visited with us.
Sue and I both ordered chili relleno's ala carte. This time Sue paid the bill. We enjoyed our meal and the company too. I think it was meant to be for us to come here instead of going to Streets.
I got home around 1 p.m. I took a nap and realized that I am developing a sore throat. I guess Jared Ammon has had one for a couple of weeks now.
James and Jared Ammon went out to ride Luna and Apollo. James was trying to get on Apollo with his foot in the stirrup when Apollo turned and ran. James lost his balance and went flying towards the ground. He came in with a bump and scab on the left side of his forehead and could hardly move his left arm.
We were out of propane and got a delivery today. The guy filled our tank and left a bill on James's truck for $1,913.04. It never ends.
Listened to "Jim & Katherine" while we walked.
