Introduction
April General Conference
'Divine Helps for Mortality'
President Dallin H. Oaks
I had scriptures and prayer with James before I left for Alicia Hunsaker's. She asked me to be there at 7 am. I am going with her and her son Colter to take him to F.S.Y. at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Colter offers a prayer and off we go.
As we passed the Wigwam hotel in Holbrook Alicia said: "President Winkelman of the Show Low stake brought his grandkids here so they could say the slept in a wigwam." How sweet.
Out first stop was at a rest stop somewhere between Joseph City and Flagstaff on I-40. The stop was called Twin Arrows. It was very modern and clean and they had fun things to look at like Beanie Babies and artistic cigarette lighters. I told Alicia how I use to collect Beanie Babies and give them to my grandkids. We would have parties at my house on their birthdays. My favorite was "Snort" a little red bull that Dallin had. He called him "Snoit."
As we passed the Cholla power plant which is closed down Alicia said that Trump was going to open it up again. That would mean so much economically for this area.
We were about an hour early arriving at the N.A.U campus. We did some walking and then Alicia went in with Colter to register.
After he was registered Alicia went with him to McConnel Hall to find his room, meet his roommate, and get him all set up. I stayed outside and walked until my phone went dead. I forgot to bring "Clutch" with me. Clutch is my mobile charger.

blue backpack.
As I was waiting outside I saw Nathan and Brandon Crane from our ward and the Teserak family dropping Resten off. Resten and Colter are good friends so I'm sure knowing Resten is here will make Colter happy.
I got tired of sitting on the rock wall so I went up closer to the dorm and sat behind a table in a chair that was more comfortable than the rock wall. I ended up holding the door for heavy lade YM/YW and their parents.
I waited two hours for Alicia to return. She waited for Colter's roommate to arrive because she wanted to meet him. I guess he was a late comer.
Alicia and I left the campus in search of the local Hobby Lobby which is located at the Flagstaff mall. We had lunch at a modern Mexican restaurant called M.I. Tesoro. I ordered cheese enchiladas with red sauce. Out of the three enchiladas on the plate, I ate one. It was delicious so I asked for a doggie bag to take the other two home to eat. Alicia had shrimp tacos and she needed a doggie bag too.
On to Hobby Lobby. It was so fun to look at all of their fall decor. They are always one season ahead. The only thing I bought was some gum, and an egg cooker that was much cheaper than the one I have been looking at on Amazon.
It takes a little over two hours to get home. Both there and back Alicia and I talked and visited constantly. We got home a somewhere between 4:30 and 5. I took a short nap and was back on the road a little after six. I am going to Boone MacArthur's t-ball game. James was supposed to go too but he forgot and was still working.
There weather was great for a ball game. Chelsea & Jarred and Chelsea's mom, Mary Nix, had their chairs set up on the field behind the third base. One of them offered me their chair. The game was so fun and Boone was hilarious. I enjoyed visiting with Chelsea's Mom.
When I got home I finished my steps. James felt bad about missing the game. It was a busy and fun day for me.
