The first day of spring,
and
Palm Sunday.
Today the 150th temple was dedicated in Provo, Utah.
The Provo City Center temple
It almost looks like a European castle
Donna Peeler is from our ward here in Vernon.
She is a temple worker in the Snowflake temple.
Jace Applegate was the youth speaker in sacrament meeting today. He spoke on goals and how through fasting and prayer he was able to perform as a pole vaulter on the Show Low track and field team.
Jason Owens was the high council speaker and Jack Pearce was his speaking companion. Jack is the son of Roge and Mary Pearce. He was in my ward as a youth. He is an old man now. He has been on three mission, one in is youth, one with his family to Adam ondi Ahman, and he and his wife just recently returned from a mission to Nauvoo.
Alex, Seth, and Adam sat by us during sacrament meeting. I looked over at one point and Adam and Seth had their eyes closed and it looked like Alex was texting on his phone. He was actually taking notes on the speakers. Way to go Alex!
I had Denice Hall's class come in with my class during Primary because she wasn't there. It was actually only two girls, Tana Westbrook, and Heidi Johnson. I also taught Kacey, Braylin, Curtis and Zemira about Alma baptizing at the waters of Mormon.
I made a delicious rosemary roast with onions, potatoes, and carrots for lunch. The house smelled so delicious when we got home from church. Brian and Kim had just finished their lunch and the boys were gone on a Razr ride.
The boys texted Kim and said they were stuck. Kim had told them there was still alot of snow up north, but they were determined to go up to Greens Peak.

tires for traction.
James, Brian, and Kim took off in the truck to rescue them but only ended up getting stuck themselves and had to be pulled out. Kim received a text from Alex saying someone had rescued them too.
I missed out on all the excitement. I stayed home and watched this movie instead.
This is the first movie in a series of three about a girl who is raised Amish only to discover she was adopted and was actually born to
an English woman.
The other two movies are: The Confession, and The Reckoning.
Kim and Brian left for home this afternoon. Kim was driving because Brian has a migraine.
Brian, Kim, and Chloe.
James and the boys are not leaving until about 5:30 in the morning.
The boys play games and James and I watch "The Bridge." We got through the first episode but only part way through the second one.
I will have to finish tomorrow and tell James about it.
Starring Ted McGinley and Faith Ford
Today I read Jacob 3 and 4, more of Jacob's sermon to the unrighteous of his people. He tells his people that if they don't repent, the righteous will be lead out from among them. He also tells them that because the Lamanites keep the law of chastity, someday they will be blessed. He tells the people to revile no more against the Lamanites because of the darkness of their skin because they are more righteous than many of the Nephites. In verses 10-12 Jacob says: Because of your bad example ye may bring your children unto destruction and their sins will be heaped upon you at the last day He tells them to awake from the slumber of death, loose yourselves from the pains of hell that ye may not become angels to the devil to be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death. He also warns them against every kind of sin. He also taught that we have power to overcome sin and weakness through the grace of Christ.
Such a powerful sermon!
Tonight was game night at the Gonzales's home.
Brings back not so fond memories of playing Monopoly
with my dad who always beat us!
