Oaxaca, Mexico
Temple #74
Today my personal scripture study included Deuteronomy 15. Here is the heading for this chapter: Every seven years, all debts are to be released - The people are admonished to care for the poor - Hebrew servants are to be released and give gifts during the seventh year - The firstling males of herds and flocks are the Lord's.
I love this concept of forgiving debts in the seventh year, especially personal debt. Could we do this in today's world? I'm not sure.
I haven't seen Sammy for a couple of days. I think I said this yesterday but I'm saying it again today.
James put air in my tire and he used "green goop" also. Afterwards we drove into town. James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to our accountant, Cheri Witt, to hand in our income taxes. They are only a month late. I told James he had a free Polar Pop so he went to Circle K and got gas and a drink. The drink was free but he paid $4.60 gal for gas instead of $4.47 at White Mountain Carwash.
At Walmart I got all the ingredients for the recipe for the Peruvian chicken with green sauce. James picked up a prescription while we were there. We stopped at Taco Bell for lunch and we were home before noon. Tom had stayed inside and slept.
This afternoon I swept and mopped the kitchen, dining room, hall, bathroom, entry floors, as well as the wood floors in the family-living area. Because I use vinegar in the water, much of the old wax on the kitchen tile came off.
This evening James and I went to watch Peyton who is 10, and Scotty who is 7, play softball. We left around 6:20 and didn't return home until around 10. Scotty started out pitching. She is one of the youngest girls playing but she is going to be a great pitcher. She has great form!
This game is all about the catcher and pitcher. I think there was one hit the entire game. Many, many walks and who knows what the score was. The game goes almost two hours.
I sat by Chelsea's mom, Elizabeth Nix. She told me all about the family. The coaches for the other team and her twin granddaughters. One of them is married the other was on a mission in England and had to come home for surgery on her achilles. The missionaries name is Brooklyn. Elizabeth said Brooklyn was able to care for the grandparents while she was here. Her grandmother, Elizabeth's mother, passed away on March 15th. Elizabeth said it was a gift to have Brooklyn here at this tender time in their family.
Chelsea and Jarred are the coaches for this team. Boone came around once in awhile and I gave him a piece of gum.
Here are some other things that happened today:
* I ordered three dress and 2 Emma M. Lion books with my Amazon gift cards.
* Rita called about our 60th high school reunion which will be on July 24th at the Snowflake senior center.
* James worked on the logs.
I love this picture!
This one too!
Peyton up to bat
