Seoul, Korea
37th operating temple
Dedicated: 14 Dec 1985 by Gordon B. Hinckley


Alma 60:29-61:5
 How do you "adhere to the word of God?"
*trujillofamilyjournal:
"I apply Christ's Atonement daily. I would be lost and miserable without the knowledge that I can repent and become at one with God again, each day when I slip up and need His cleansing and enabling power."
DC 128:1-13
Why is the baptismal font placed on the ground floor of the temple?
*The font is placed in the basement or bottom of temples in similitude of the grave. When we baptize for the dead it "is in likeness of the resurrection of the dead in coming forth out of their graves." Therefore the font is "placed underneath where the living are assembled " to represent "that which is earthly conforming to that which is heavenly."

"Let us be found staying close to Him in prayer and scripture study. Let us draw ourselves near to Him by preparing for and partaking of the sacred emblems of His atoning sacrifice weekly during the ordinance of the sacrament and as we keep covenants by serving others in their time of need. Perhaps then we might be part of the certain women, disciples of Jesus Christ, who will celebrate His glorious return when He comes again."


President Trump has declared this a National Day of Prayer.
We are fasting and praying for those in harms way.

I worked on my Primary lesson early this morning, "Joseph Smith is Jailed Unjustly" and then made cinnamon rolls for the non-fasters. I also finished making the green chili pork stew with the meat that James cut up last night. 

We had two baby blessings in sacrament meeting today. Densyn Lootan, Sister Ulmer's great grandson whom she and her husband are raising. The second baby was the bishop's little girl, Sophia Emma. I love baby blessings. There is such hope in new life.

Our chapel was filled with strangers today, the last holiday of the summer. I guess a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet, right.  Our kids were in the back of the overflow. 

Darrel and Trina were going to go home after sacrament meeting but their kids talked them in to staying. How is that for a switch!
Ruby and Rowan came to my class along with Gracie, Liana, Curtis, Colter, Zemira, Easton, and Celeste. Easton and Celeste are the Crane's grandchildren. 
At one point during the lesson I looked over and Colter was crying. I asked him what was wrong but he wouldn't tell me. He wanted me to take him to his Mom. I was doing the lesson on a power point and I asked Rowan to continue while I was gone. 

We talked a little bit about Harvey and I asked Rowan to tell the kids what he knew. He began: "When Harvey hit landfall it was a category 4 hurricane...... I do believe he could be a weatherman.

When we went in to sharing time I noticed Bailey was sitting with the seven year old class. She is eleven and usually comes in my class when her teacher isn't here. Today she went in her little sister's class. 

When we got home from Church there was a news announcement. Brian noticed when he got home that our outside bedroom door was open. When he went in to close it, a squirrel ran out. James told Lola Gramma was going to be upset with her. She didn't seem too worried.

Darrel told me something funny. I was telling him how Molly used to call me little gramma and Tricia's mom big gramma. He said that Lola calls me cabin gramma and Trina's mom house gramma. I love it!

These are some of the things we did this afternoon:

James and the kids watched "Private Eyes."

This movie was a family favorite when our
kids were growing up.


Lola likes the lady in pink.

Kim helped Lola put her makeup on:

Yesterday Lola put makeup on Kim.
Today Kim is returning the favor.

Yes Lola, you look beautiful!



We went outside on the front porch to play
with the bubbles and there was bird poop on
the chairs. Lola helped clean it off.

Ruby and Rowan went outside with their bow and arrows. James and I went out on the porch to read and watch the hummingbirds.



Darrel and Trina left in the late afternoon. I forgot to have them pose for a picture so I am using the one from last year. Can you tell?
Trina looks the same.

Kim and Brian went on a Razr ride this evening. Afterwards while Kim was taking a shower I was texting with Jared about Molly's baptism and he said that Jeremy was baptizing her. We were all surprised and upset. Brian asked us to please not tell Kim, so we didn't.
