What a gorgeous morning! Every morning, first thing, I open the door to feed Sammy and let Tom in if he has been out all night. I can't help but notice how beautiful it is this time of day. James says he saw Tom chasing Harry away today. Harry is a cat that shows up from time to time begging to be fed. He seems pretty tame so he must have once belonged to someone.
I am reading about the temple lot in Independence, Missouri in my D&C Study Guide by Thomas R. Valletta on p. 303. The spot dedicated for a temple is owned no by the Church of Christ. In due time I am sure the Church will obtain it.
This is a quote from the book "Forgiving What You Can't Forget" by Lysa Terkeurst: "Your life right now is an answer to prayer." I love this and realize how true it is!
For our anniversary James worked on cleaning the garage. He asked me which section he should work on first. I told him I would love it if he would clean behind the garbage cans. He did and it looks wonderful. He also did another section where he hangs tools.

While James was cleaning the garage and working in the yard, I went to my friend Sue Hubble's granddaughter's baptism in Snowflake. The granddaughter's name is Kaylynn. The Morris', who officiated in our session yesterday at the temple are Sue's neighbor. Sister Morris, Claudia, gave the talk on baptism and her husband did the program.
When Sue saw me she said: "You just made my day." I told her that she and Kaylynn had made mine. I met Jason, Kaylynn's dad. I think their last name is Edward's.
Scott, Sue's son who baptized Sue, also baptized Kaylynn. Kaylynn had to be dunked twice because her toe came up the first time. Sue had nine great grandchildren at the baptism. Sister Morris gave a wonderful talk on baptism. We sat together and visited just like we were old friends.
Bishop Darrell Peterson gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. He quoted 2 Nephi 32:3 which says: Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.
Bishop Peterson also told the story of when Joseph F. Smith met some hoodlums who asked if he was a Mormon. Unafraid he said:
Yes siree, died in the wool true blue through and through. "We need courage and confidence today to stand up for what we believe in.
Sue's bishop is John Reidhead who is Steve Reidhead's younger brother. James will be disappointed he didn't get to meet him. He seems like a very nice guy.
After the baptism I did some shopping at the Walmart in Taylor. I bought an ice maker and called it our anniversary present. I absolutely love it!
Other things I did today: Read from my Isadora Bentley book, paid bills, blogged for May 17th. James and I are fasting for Rowan, Joshua and Evan. We are still praying they will be more converted to the gospel and will serve missions. We prayed that Rowan would start filling out his papers.
