Buenes Aires, Argentina
39th operating temple
Dedicated: 17-18 Jan 1986
By: Thomas S. Monson

Jesus Christ, Death of
Alma 22:14
And since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself; but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins, through faith and repentance, and so forth; and that he breaketh the bands of death, that the grave shall have no victory, and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory; and Aaron did expound all these things unto the king.
Book of Mormon
#1- Moroni 7:35-48
#2 - Ether 15-Moroni 4

Wilt Thou Be Made Whole?
Matthew L. Carpenter
 "Through His ministry, Christ taught that He had power over the physical body. We cannot control the timing of when Christ's healing of our physical ailments will occur. Healing occurs according to His will and wisdom. In the scriptures some suffered for decades; others, their entire mortal lives. Mortal infirmities can refine us and deepen our reliance upon God. But when we allow Christ to be involved, He will always strengthen us spiritually so we can have greater capacity to endure our burdens."



I blogged through December 19th today. I wonder if I will ever catch up. My problem is that my internet is so slow and it takes forever to download pictures.

Stacy is coming today so I had to do a little cleaning. I vacuumed our bedroom and the family room. I dusted and cleaned bathrooms upstairs and did some laundry. 

After cleaning, James and I went to town. We had lunch at Los Corrales because Maxine told me they had a lunch special for $6.95. I got a chicken enchilada plate with rice and beans, which is the lunch special. James splurged and got the Los Corrales enchilada and it looked like this:

Pork with bell peppers, onions, and sour cream sauce.
I tasted it and it was delicious!

We picked up a prescription for James at CVS and then did some shopping at Walmart. I bought squash, broccoli, asparagus, two roasts, steak, spinach, bread, pineapple, bananas, eggs, milk, cheerios, shakes, ice, diet Dr. Pepper, and toilet paper and paper towels. That ought to last us a couple of days.

When we got back to Vernon Stacy, Michael, Joshua, Shipley and Vader were there. I guess Paul decided not to come. It took me forever to carry in all of the groceries. Michael was carrying in wood with Joshua.

We have more snow. While it was snowing outside Stacy, Michael, James, and I played Hearts. James ran them at least twice and Michael ended up losing. 

For dinner Michael made us Gordon Ramsey steaks and Stacy made fingerling potatoes with parmesan cheese. I made some asparagus and squash. Everything was delicious. 

Stacy and the boys watched Harry Potter while I watched a Christmas movie in the bedroom. I also walked.

 The dogs love Michael

They love Joshua too, especially when he
shares his apple with them.

Such a big girl!




 I love that smile!

Buenes Aires, Argentina
39th operating temple
Dedicated: 17 Jan 1986 by Thomas S. Monson

Alma 62:1-18
What effect did Moroni's standard of liberty have on the hearts of the people of Nehpi?
*It gave them courage and confidence and hope in the cause they were fighting for.
DC 128:19-25
What did I learn from this Psalm of Joy?
*I learned that there is so much to be happy and joyous about. We have a loving Heavenly Father who is ever present in our life. We need to do our part to bring about His work. Verse 19 says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that bring glad tidings of good things, and that say unto Zion: Behold, thy God reigneth! As the dews of Carmel, so shall the knowledge of God descend upon them!"

"Repentance is not a punishment; it is a privilege. No wonder the scriptures declare that we should teach nothing save repentance."


Squirrel #1, or Fat Eddy as I call him, is back. He hiked all the way from Chocolate Lake. I guess we have really good garbage.

Se the scar across his nose?
That is how James can tell he is squirrel #1.

Happy Birthday Darrel!

Balloons and pretty girls at work!

Enjoying one of his gifts.

We hope you had a great day Darrel!

It was an exciting day for Lola too. She started preschool!
Lola loved school and so did Trina. Lola came home
and took a long nap!

A little excitement for the Vernon ward too. One of our missionaries returned home for Buenes Aires, Argentina.

Welcome home Elder Hall!

James continues to clean out the garage. I will take a picture when he is finished. I went in to town to get ingredients for chicken and rice soup. We are taking dinner to the Scott's this evening. Millie has two shattered shoulders and one of them is also dislocated. She is in constant pain.

We were reading from "Havencross" on the porch today when it started to rain. The rain didn't seem to bother the hummingbirds.

I prepared the Scott's dinner and James delivered it. There was the soup, six rolls, and some caramel salted yogurt for dessert.
I tried to blog this evening but I was just too tired. James and I watched the end of "Appetite for Love." James is smitten with Taylor Cole and I like Andrew Walker. We also watched two episodes of "Heartland," Come What May, and Out of the Dark. 

There was a Relief Society activity tonight. I should have gone and invited Pam. I am such a slacker.
