Do We Trust Him? Hard is Good

Elder Stanley G. Ellis

" At one point, some Book of Mormon people suffered 'great persecutions' and 'much affliction' (Helaman 3:34). How did they react? 'They did fast and pray oft and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation' (Helaman 3:35). Another example occurred after years of war: 'Because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened,... and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God (Alma 62:41)."

Happy 28th Birthday Adam!

We said goodbye to our guests this morning after breakfast. They cooked, cleaned, and washed sheets before they left. They were the model guests. 

James spent the day working on the Memon bid but he still had time to walk over 15,000 steps. I paid tithing, blogged, worked on my Primary lesson and watched a new Hallmark movie, "Royal Hearts" and walked over 12,000 steps.

This was our view Saturday morning

Happy 26th Birthday Adam!

My favorite picture of Adam

Happy 19th Birthday Joe!

James left for the valley around 5:30 this morning.  He has a doctor's appointment with his cardiologist, Dr. Memon, at 9:45 in Chandler.  I stayed home in an effort to get some more rest and get well.  It seems like I should be getting better by now.

Dr. Memon told James everything looked good with his heart.  He also mentioned that the plans are almost ready for his 18,000 sq. ft. building he wants James to build.  He says he needs to retire because the government is making it harder and harder for him.  James checked online.  Dr. Memon made around $967,000 last year.  

James also went to Erik's about his truck.  On the way home this afternoon he lost his muffler pipe.  He also went to Glendale to check out the job site for the job he is bidding right now, and then he came home, with a stop at Burger House.  He was home by 4 this afternoon.  He was gone about 10 1/2 hours.  

Chuck Crane found a knife in the road and called James to ask if it was his.  It wasn't but James had seen the knife too and just never stopped to pick it up.  Chuck said it was a really nice $500 knife

Kim posted this picture on Facebook this evening.  She took these boys to dinner at Red Lobster to celebrate Joe and Adam's birthdays.

Nice looking bunch.

James and I watched an Amish movie on the Up channel called, "Charmed."  We both love the Amish culture and their values!

Happy Birthday to Adam & Joe

Adam turned 25

He wants a conure bird but there aren't any available right now.

We gave him some money and a Disney bag:

Adam loves Disney and Jack Skellington

 

Joe turned 18 today

Joe loves Scooby Doo and vans, so along with his cash I

got him a remote control Scooby Doo van.

 

James and I used our last Christmas gift card today.  This one was for Rudy's BBQ. 



I had the pulled pork sandwich and James had the dry brisket.  We had coleslaw, beans, and a three bean salad for our sides.

 

This afternoon I went shopping at Target and Walmart and to the bank to get money for Joe and Adam. 

 

I was so excited to get Joshua moved into his room that I tried moving his Lego Hobbit set and it fell apart just as I walked into his room.  Joshua was very sweet about it when he got home from school, but later I found him in his room crying.  It took me over an hour but I got it put back together again.

You almost need a college degree to put these sets together.

The rolling cart we got for Joshua to put his Legos in.

Stacy put this together.  It wasn't nearly as hard as the Lego set.

 

 

Trina brought me cookies and a card for watching her kids this past weekend.  Not necessary, but very thoughtful.



Thank you Trina!

 

Stacy and Paul took Adam out for his birthday.  I made macaroni and cheese for Michael and Joshua.
