Alma 48:19-49:8
19 - Helaman and his brethren did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.
20 - The people humbled themselves because of their words. For four years there were no war nor contentions.
21 - They were compelled reluctantly to contend with their brethren, the Lamanites.
25 - They could not bear that their brethren should rejoice over the blood of the Nephites, sl long as there were any who should keep the commandments of God, for the promise of the Lord was, if they should keep His commandments they should prosper in the land.
Alma 49
1 - In the 11th month, of the 19th year, on the 10th day of the month, the Lamanites were seen approaching towards the land of Ammonihah.
2 - The city had been rebuilt and Moroni stationed an army by the borders.
3 - The Lamanites thought it would be an easy target.
4 - The Nephites dug up a ridge of earth round about the city which was so high the Lamanites could not cast their stones and arrows that they might take effect, . . .
6 - The Lamanites had prepared themselves with shields and breastplates and thick garments of skin.
8 - But behold the Nephites were prepared for them in a manner which never had been known among the children of Lehi.

There was rain this morning for about an hour, and a beautiful rainbow. It was a great way to start the day!

This handsome boy got braces today.
James and I made a trip to town around lunch time. Whenever it's his turn to chose where we have lunch he chooses Darby's in Pinetop. He had something off the lunch menu and I had lemon ricotta crepes off the breakfast menu. They were delicious.
We also made a stop at Walmart/Home Depot and then a quick stop at Harbor Freight to look at log splitters. We also went to Dennis's for more lawn blankets. I visited with Harold and Vickie while James got the blankets. They sold all of the items at The Hub last weekend and they were working on a table and benches.
On the way back home I read to James from our new book:
I succumbed to my desire for a diet drink today. I drove to Stanifird to get it and also bought a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper 10's. I am so weak.
Tricia posted this picture of Emmy at their new house in San Antonio. I guess the house has several big trees.
I hope she doesn't fall.
And now, the final part of my post:
