Provo, Utah Rock Canyon
Temple #15
I learned this morning on Facebook that our dear friend Bobby Noel passed away. When we first moved to Chandler, I was in my 20's and was called at the Primary president. Brother Noel was my priesthood advisor and he was a great one. He was the baseball coach at Chandler High School for years before he moved to Orem, Utah.
I forgot to mention that yesterday Paul's sister Nicole's oldest son, Cannon was sealed in the Gilbert temple. President Ray Hayman was the sealer. It was a surprise to Nicole and she got a little teary eyed.
Brother Beach texted James this morning and told him they received their mission call. They are going to Zimbabwe and they are very excited. The last dedicated temple on March 1st was in Zimbabwe.
Blackie, or as James calls him was missing this morning. He is always there waiting for his breakfast, but not this morning. James and I are both a little sad.
Today was high council sacrament meeting. Our new Stake Relief Society president, Kacie Flake was our first speaker. The high councilman was President Shane Shumway, Elder Steven Shumway's brother. I guess he is the stake young men's president.
Linda Stevens taught gospel doctrine class although Jimmie Applegate was present. Sister Stevens did a great job with power point slides and everything. I guess she has taught gospel doctrine before.
I had the take aways from todays meeting. From Sister Flake's talk: I need to start looking for daily tender mercies and recording them in my tender mercies journal. I did this for awhile but quit some time ago.
From President Shumway's talk. Spend the first hour of the day in prayer and scripture study, getting close to the Lord. It is the first hour of the day that I need to work on.
From Sunday School. Joseph came to know that the Lord was with him and what his purpose was. I need to find out what my purpose is at this time in my life. I should know, but I don't.
I planned the Easter potluck with Darrel, Trina, Kim, Sheri, and Stacy. Darrel is making tritip, and the rest of us will bring sides and desserts. It will be on the 28th at 5 p.m. at Darrel & Trina's.
James wrote a letter to our grandchildren and wants me to type it and proof read it for him. I will be happy to.
James also found Scooter this evening. He was sitting at the dining room table and heard a meowing noise. He went outside and found the cat in the garage. He carried him back to the porch and gave him his dinner. We are both so relieved that we found him.
