D&C 109:26
That no combination of wickedness shall have power to rise up and prevail over Thy people upon whom Thy name shall be put in this house;
James left at 5:15 this morning. He is going to meet with Armando and Daryl Johnson about the paint job at the barbershop. Daryl is not happy with it and Armando is trying he best to please him but needs some support from James. He is also going to his mom's to put in her shower door.
I got up shortly after he left and got ready to go to town to do my grocery shopping. I arrived at Walmart around 7:30 just as Judy Hunter was pushing her loaded grocery cart out the door. She probably got here when I intended to.
Early mornings are the best time to shop at this Walmart. It's more quiet and the shelves are usually stocked. Except for the steaks. There were very few to choose from so I ended up getting cube steaks and some sirloins for my pepper steak.
On the way to town and back home I listened to "Unshaken Saints" and was able to finish before the day was over. Brother Halverson is keeping it shorter than he used to.
On the way home I realized I had forgotten soy sauce and Cuties. What will I do without my cuties. I do have some strawberries but I really do love Cuties.
Jared Ammon helped me put the groceries away. James called and gave me a report on his trip to the valley. He got stopped because he was speeding, going 53 in a 35 zone. He also has no brake lights on his trailer, his registration on his truck is expired and he has no proof of insurance. Anything else? Oh yes, he got stopped on the way home for a broken windshield. The results? Two tickets, one for the trailer lights and one for no registration, and three warnings. I can't believe he didn't get a ticket for speeding. Two more miles per hour and it would have been criminal. That's what the officer said.
So far I know of three temple dedications this month. Elder Gong dedicated the Taylorsville, Utah temple last Sunday and on the 16th Elder Bednar will dedicate the Layton, Utah temple and Elder Christofferson will dedicate the Salta, Argentina temple.
James brought us dinner from Burger House. One green chili mixed burro for me, and two for Jared Ammon. James ate his on the way home. As soon as he got home he went outside to work on the stable. This man never stops.
Tonight as we were getting ready to go to bed I noticed a big dirt spot at the bottom of James's side of the bed. When I pointed it out to James he went in and got a wet rag to wipe it off, trying to blame it on Tom. I told him yes, it could be Tom, but if it wasn't, it was certainly him.
Yesterday Paul sent out a message about two missionaries in North Dakota being killed in a car accident. His sister Marsan and her husband live there and he is the branch president in the ward where they were serving. I will got back and post pictures of the missionaries on yesterday's post.
Also, Stacy said this about helping to clean the Gilbert temple last night: Last night Paul and I had the privilege of cleaning the temple from 8:30 until 11:45. I was given the task of vacuuming and dusting the celestial room and the veil rooms. It was all lit up and so beautiful and I was in there by myself for nearly 2 hours. It was an experience I will never forget. They are so meticulous about vacuuming the white carpets. I was given a 10 minute tutorial on the procedure, the direction to vacuum and how not to leave lines.
Paul said:
It was WORK. Every inch of that temple was dusted, vacuumed or mopped. Even the trim at the ceilings. I was thinking as I mopped behind a potted plant in a spot no one would ever look why it was important to clean there, I kept thinking what if the Savior came to inspect his house, he would know.
