I met my friend Sue Hubble at the temple this morning for the 9:30 session. I think this is the busiest session of the entire week. I only had to stop for about 5 minutes for road construction.
I love driving past Shumway valley. It is so beautiful and green, like a little oasis in an otherwise parched landscape.
The parking lot at the temple was very full. I parked further than normal so it took me longer to walk to the entrance. I made my way upstairs to the locker room. I always try to get either locker 7 or 8, 7 was closed but locker 8 was open. I put my things in locker 8 changing room and started to get undressed but decided I couldn't wait to go to the bathroom, I needed to go now. I left my stuff in the changing room thinking I would be back in less than five minutes, which I was. When I got back someone was in the changing room. I knocked and she said, "I will be out in a few minutes." I guess she had finished her session and was changing back in to her street clothes. I was a little stressed but what could I do?
When the sister came out of the changing room she had such a sweetness about her when she apologized I could not be upset. I told her it was okay and smiled at her.
Sister Miller, the temple matron, gave me my new name. She asked if I was from Woodruff. I told her no, I was from Vernon. I guess there is another place that Lambsons live, Woodruff.
As I stepped into the ordinance room I could see the sisters side was full and thought I would have to sit in back on the brothers side until I saw my friend Sue in the front row. She had saved me the front row corner seat. Thank goodness for Sue!
After the session Sue wasn't in the celestial room so I didn't even bother to sit down but went straight back to the locker room. We rode the elevator down with the mother of a sister in our ward. The sister in our ward is Colleen Kroeger. I used to teach Primary at the same time she did. She very seldom comes to church anymore.
Sue and I met at Eva's for chile rellenos with green sauce at Eva's. They are the best. Sue thanked me for the jewelery I gave Kaylynn for her baptism. She said it was a bracelet but I thought I gave her a necklace. Oh well.
We talked about family and Sue's upcoming trip to New Mexico to stay with her twin sister who is mentally handicapped so her other sister and her husband can go on a trip. Sue is quite political and a big Trump supporter so we talked a little about what is going on in California. I asked her if she knew who Charlie Kirk was and of course she did and she is a big fan. We gave each other a big hug when we said goodbye. I told her to let me know when she wants to go to the temple again.
It rained in Vernon again today. The grass looks so green after it rains a few days.
James worked at Crane's this afternoon and then went in to town. Since I had already "been to town" I stayed home.
I walked 10,000 steps again today.

D&C 61:36
And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you;
