'Personal Preparation to Meet the Savior'
Elder Dale G. Relund
"Follow the Savior's teachings. His instructions are neither mysterious nor complex. When we follow them, we do not need to fear or be anxious."
We left at 6:30 for the valley. Tom was outside this time. We went the Salt River way because there is no blasting on Friday. We stopped at Burger House and got two Tony's Special breakfast burritos. Neither one of us liked it that well. It was too hot. I saved mine and James gave it to Armando.
I dropped James off at Palm & Saragosa at the "burn" house. Armando was already there. I headed for the Target on south Arizona Avenue.
I found a pair of casual slip on shoes to wear with my pants, a birthday card for Alex, a notebook and pens for Cheryl Sedig's Easter basket, some cough drops for James, gum and Ice Breakers for Cheryl's basket. I spent over $60.
When I got back to James I asked how his meeting went. He said it didn't got because the owner, a woman, was a no-show. So, he came 200 miles at her request and she doesn't show. She may have been intimidated by all of the men. She knows and trusts Salvador so he went to visit her and got her to sign the demolition contract.
I told James I wanted to go to the Gilbert Costco because I may want to go to Deseret Book and I wanted to go to Cafe Rio for lunch.
After Cafe Rio we found a Chase bank. James got a $375 check from Hatch Dental for a small job Armando did. He said I could have it to use to "pad" my budget. I wanted to use it at Costco so we cashed the check.
At Costco we spent almost $200. I bought toilet paper and paper towels, toilet bowl cleaner tablets, pistachios, and Pom juice for James. We also got some Fairlife protein shakes, Swiffer duster refills, laundry detergent, and gallon freezer bags. Money certainly disappears fast at Costco.
After Costco we were ready to go home. Even though it was closer to go the Globe way home James went the extra miles to go the Payson way because he knew I wanted to.
We stopped at our favorite gas station for gas and a large Almond Joy to share.
We were home by 4 p.m., time for a nap. Tom and I slept on the recliner and James on the bed. I forgot to mention that we listened to "Follow Him" and then our book "Discovering Dahlia" while in the car.
James goes over to the Beach's to strip forms and didn't get home until after dark. I guess his back went out and that's why it took him so long.
When it was time for bed Tom was no where to be seen. I asked Sammy if he knew where Tom was. He craned his head to look inside the house. I told him Tom wasn't in here. I said to him, "Go find Tom." He took off running and about 10 minutes later he came back and Tom was with him. I was so surprised that he understood what I said.
