Kinshasa Democratic Republic of Congo
estimated to be complete in mid 2018

When I got up this morning there were still elk in the yard.  I could only see 8 instead of the 9 that were here last night.  James ask me if I ate one.  I said: "No, I don't have enough ketchup."

Mosiah 11:20-29
Abinadi warns the people that they will be brought into bondage if they do not repent.
* What did the Lord do to help Noah's people?
* What are the dangers of persisting in our sins and not repenting?
* Why do you think the people reacted with anger toward Abinadi, who was trying to help them?  Why do you think they defended King Noah, who was leading them toward misery?  Sin can blind us from recognizing the truth of a prophets words.
3 Nephi 2-3:12
2 Wickedness and abominations increase among the people - The Nephites and Lamanites unite to defend themselves against the Gadianton robbers - Converted Lamanites become white and are called Nephites.  About A.D. 5-16.
3 Giddianhi, the Gadianton leader, demands that Lachoneus and the Nephites surrender themselves and their lands - 
DC 58:57-65
The gospel must be preached unto every creature.
President Spencer W. Kimball: "...I feel that when we have done all in our power that the Lord will find a way to open doors.  That is my faith..."
General Conference
"Walk With Me"
President Henry B. Eyring
" Our ordination to the priesthood is an invitation from the Lord to walk with Him, to do what He does, to serve 
the way He serves."



Happy Anniversay to

21 years and counting

I have to post this picture of Camelback Mountain because I know it is one of Sheri's favorite hikes.


In my book "The Contrite Spirit" I read about Jesus being in the temple when he was 12.  In Luke 2:46 it says: And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

"They found him in the temple."

I got dressed today to go into Vernon to pick up the mail.  James is expecting a check and I wanted to see if it was there.  It was!  I came home and was going to deposit it using my phone when I realized I could only deposit up to $10,000.  This check was for over $12,000.  Darn!  Oh well.  I am not going back into town.  I guess it will have to wait.

I looked outside this afternoon and there were 6 antelope in the yard.  I am so excited!  I love antelope!  They are my favorite, much cuter than elk.

They are so curious!
Wish Rowan was here to see them.

James surprised me and come home today.  I was happy to see him but he did scare the antelope away.  He is very sick with the flu, laringytis and bronchitis.  He pulled home his Cat with no brakes on the trailer.  How stressful when you are sick, or any other time for that matter.

I was wishing Rowan was here to see the antelope because they are his favorite but maybe he has a new favorite.  Addy sent me these pictures:
This animal is called a Sugar Glider according
to Addy.

James says it's a flying squirrel

I think he's getting ready to fly!

Changed his mind

Look at that tail!

Addy says someone in their ward
raises them.

I have 32 type written pages on personal revelation.  I needed a break this evening so James and I watched the latest Hailey Dean mystery on Hallmark movies and mysteries channel.  

James went to bed before I did.  I did not give him a kiss because I can't afford to get sick!

Easter eggs to his apple tree.

Gospel Quote:
"Do you believe in Jesus Christ and do you follow Him and the Father?  How powerful are the words: 'I believe in Jesus Christ!''
Elder Russell M. Ballard

At 6 this morning I looked out the window and saw 8 elk.  I immediately called James and he asked me if any of them had horns.  I had to go get the binoculars.  No, honey, I'm sorry they don't.  This is one of the reasons I open the blinds early in the morning.  The other reason is to see the sunrise. 
I didn't get a picture of the elk but this
picture of a heron was taken in
Arizona.
Jared sent me an email this morning in response to yesterdays family letter in which I asked for ideas for my talk on coming unto Christ and if anyone had ideas for family scripture study that they would like to share.  He gave me a link to a talk by Jeffrey R. Holland entitled "Come Unto Me", and he shared this idea for family scripture study: This was Tricia's idea and comes from her love of music.  They study a hymn along with their scriptures.  He says the kids are much more involved as a result.  What a good idea!
Also Trina set me Ruby's favorite colors which are: rainbow colors, black, pink, and purple.  I think she's got most of the colors covered.  Her favorite dessert is lemon cake but Trina can't recall when she's ever had it.  
 I love this picture of Cathi's daughter Wendy and her son Colter and Sheri and Max taken almost eleven years ago.
Colter was born on June 30th and Max on July 1st.
Don't you just love Max's sweet little face and his chubby cheeks!

James had a meeting with Greg Hatch today.  It looks like his job will be starting in the next couple of weeks.  We have been waiting since November to here that news!

I stayed home all day but I also stayed busy all day.  I paid bills and brought our financial records up to date.  At Diana Curtis's request I called the young women about the women's broadcast tomorrow night.  Most everyone will be going with their Mom's except Shelly (who went with her mom on Saturday), and Coty.  They will both be going with me.  Diana will try to make it back from Disneyland but might be too late.
