"The Lord instructed Emma Smith to 'receive the Holy Ghost,' learn much, 'lay aside the things of this world, ... seek for the things of a better,' and 'cleave unto her covenants' with God. Learning is integral to progression, especially as the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost teaches us what is needful for each of us to lay aside - meaning that which could distract us or delay our progression."
Happy sixth birthday to Lola! What a girl! We are so grateful to have her as a part of our eternal family!
More Lola pictures to come
James and Anthony started on the fence around 5:30 this morning. They are setting posts with bags of concrete. There have been ten posts set and a total of 20 bags of concrete, all hand mixed by James himself. At 8:30 they came in for breakfast and scriptures and prayer. I made scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, hashbrowns, and toast and herbal tea for breakfast. Anthony read scriptures with us. I let him use my new Book of Mormon and he loved it. After this break Anthony went home to take a nap with his Cat. James worked on the fence a little longer then he came in and we went to town. He got paint for the basement where he had to fix the water line. He went in to Walmart and came back with shakes, a watermelon, his raspberry dark chocolate bars and some ice cream for me. While he was in Home Depot I went over to Aliberto's and got an Arizona burrito. Delicious but quite greasy. Probably a 1,000 calories. I read a chapter of two from "Aunt Dimity and the Buried Treasure."
After nap James went out and worked on the road putting more gravel in the low spots. He went for a ride on Luna and then came in and worked on the basement. He painted the wall and hopes the paint will match when it dries.
I got instructions from Amazon regarding my stranded 16 books. I have to delete them all and then re-enter them using the same SKU and ISBN numbers. The only thing I can figure is when I changed the setting for shipment that messed everything up. I can't re-enter the books for 24 hours so that means it won't be until Monday.
I walked, worked on my blog and studied from the Book of Mormon this evening before going to bed.
Fasting for missionary work and for the riots to stop in our country.
Congratulations Trenda and Emery!
