April General Conference
"Miracles, Angels, and Priesthood Power" Elder Shayne M. Bowen
' I testify that the ancient keys of the priesthood have been restored. Peter, James, and John and other ancient prophets appeared as resurrected beings, bestowing upon the Prophet Joseph Smith what the Lord described as "the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel."'
D&C 109:13
And that all people who shall enter upon the threshold of the Lord's house may feel thy power, and feel constrained to acknowledge that thou hast sanctified it, and that it is thy house, a place of thy holiness.
James left to go work on his mom's roof before 6 this morning. He wants to get it done before it gets too hot. Armando and Henry are meeting him there to help. We both missed the hotels breakfast. James said they were cooking when he left and it smelled good.
I stayed in my room and ate the two chicken strips I had leftover from Chik-fila last night. I also finished the tostado I got at Cafe Rio. That way I didn't have to leave my room.
I took a shower and washed my hair. I caught up on my journal notes and worked on my blog.
James called around 11:00. He said he was on his way to pick me up and wanted to make sure I would be ready. I thought we would be going home but that is not the case. When we check out we will be going back to his mom's house. When we arrived Armando and Henry were working outside. James joined them and I went in the house to visit with Lois and Dawn. They offered me some lunch. At first I declined but they insisted, saying they had lots of leftovers from when Cathi & Terry, David & Laura, brought dinner over on Sunday.
Dawn set out tamales, some dip that David made. I got the recipe. Some meatballs that she called Dorothy's meatballs. Lois said they got the recipe from me years ago. I don't remember but I only know one Dorothy and that is my Aunt Dorothy, my mom's older sister.
I had two meatballs, they were big, and a little bit of David's dip and some green grapes that had a cotton candy flavor. Dawn called them cotton candy grapes and the name certainly fits.
Dawn and I took some ice water out to James, Armando, and Henry.
James says they won't finish today but Armando and Henry will come back tomorrow and finish up.
While they were still working I went to Costco and did our shopping there. I only bought what was on my list, two bags of pistachio's, two bottles of Pom drink and one bottle of acai juice. I went to the closest Costco I knew about, the one on Baseline and Country Club/Arizona Avenue.
Armando and Henry were gone when I returned and James was sweeping up the mess. I helped him and then we were on our way back to Chandler. Our first stop was Kim's to pick up my mother's day gift, a "Sheep in sweaters" puzzle.
Kim told us a sweet story about Joe one night when she was in the hospital and feeling especially low he was there with her. She said she couldn't feel the Spirit and it was really bothering her. Joe was trying to comfort her and he said all of a sudden a warm feeling came over him, all the way down and through him. It felt like a warm liquid. We always pray that our grandchildren will have conversion or spiritual experiences and it certainly seems like this was one for Joe.
We picked up Jared Ammon at Stacy's. And of course we caused a ruckus with the dogs. We are in the truck and James put most of our things in the back bed so Jared would have room in the back seat.
We went the Payson way and got home around 8 p.m. Tom seemed happy to see us. We did some walking and then went to bed.

I don't miss it much in the summer.
