Panama City, Panama
Temple #127
Today James attended the first sacrament meeting he has attended in five weeks. We were sad that none of our visitors came with us. Trina had said yesterday they were planning on coming today but when Darrel got up and discovered he forgot his white shirt and his dress shoes he decided he wasn't coming. No one else came either. We were a little sad. I am grateful to Darrel for feeding the horses again.
The First Presidency has asked us to fast for religious liberty today. I took the opportunity to bear my testimony in sacrament meeting. I wanted to thank everyone for fasting and praying for James. I also testified of the importance of religious freedom and how we read the scriptures and prayed to help us feel the Spirit in the hospital.
James didn't want to stay for the second hour, so we left after sacrament meeting. We sat way in the back because James didn't want to draw a lot of attention. We still had several people come up and talk to us; the Tignor's, the Reynold's, Collin DeWitt, just to name a few.
When we got home Michael, Xander, and Jazmin were ready to leave. We thanked them for all they did as we said our goodbyes.
A little before noon I met Paula Johnson at the food pantry. She helped me to unload the boxes ohf food in my car, and we stacked the cans in with the other food. She said those expiration dates really don't mean anything. She said she used a can of Rotel that was 12 years old once and it was fine.
Janna Grombach brought over her mother's handicap sign that you hang in your car. She is giving it to me and it never expires. Thank you Janna!
James was exhausted and after lunch he slept most of the afternoon.
Darrel, Trina, and Lola left for New Mexico and Addy, Rowan and Ruby left for the valley this afternoon. Lola was crying because Ruby is staying with Addy for a couple of weeks so she can go to FSY with her friends in Flagstaff. Before Addy left she told Darrel she hadn't changed the oil in her car for awhile. He checked and she was a quart low. Darrel told her to stop and get a quart of oil when she gets to Show Low and have Rowan put it in.
We will miss you!
Thank you for coming!
Kim and Brian arrived back around 4 this afternoon. Brian casts my phone to the TV so we can watch "Seeking Persephone" before he turns around and leaves to go home. Kim, James and I watched the four episodes. It took us 3 hours and we absolutely loved it. James and I have read the book on Deseret Book Plus. It is written by Sarah Eden, one of our favorite authors. She has lots of books that we have read. Watching this movie/series makes me want to read the other Lancaster family books in the series.
