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

Jesus Christ, King
Isaiah 6:5
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

April General Conference

"Prayers of Faith"
Henry B. Eyring
"President Nelson invited us to make a personal plan to prepare ourselves for this historic conference, which commemoration he said would be 'a hinge point in the history of the Church, and your part is vital.' Like me, perhaps you heard his message and asked yourself, 'In what way is my part vital?' Perhaps you read and prayed about the events of the Restoration. Perhaps, more than ever before, you read the accounts of those few times when God the Father introduced His Beloved Son. Perhaps you read of the instances when the Savior spoke to the children of our Heavenly Father. I know I did all of those things and more. I felt filled with joy at the prospect of being invited to participate in this celebration of the ongoing Restoration.

James left a little before six this morning to meet with Richard the road guy. He paid him some money and they talked about him doing the next section. After meeting with Richard he went on to the Howard's to work. 

My book balance this morning was $703.31, the amount Amazon owes me!

I went to Taylor with James this afternoon because I could tell he really wanted me to go. He is going to see a guy about fixing the cracked block of the Razr. The guy can't fix it so now we will have to buy one. James says it will probably cost around $900 to order one. We want to get the Razr fixed before the summer. I am dying to go for a ride on the mountain. The Halcomb's said there is still snow up high.

James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to see the guy he came to see. When he was finished he joined me and picked out a Mother's Day card for his mom. As soon as we got home he took a few minutes to sign the card. I will sign it, put in an Amazon gift card and send it off tomorrow.

After our shopping spree we went over to Taco Bell across the street and we each ordered two tacos. It cost us $7.00 because we donated to feeding children, can't remember the exact name of the organization. Our tacos were lacking, lacking very much meat that is. James warned me that this Taco Bell wasn't up to par and he was right. We should have ordered something to eat at Sonic when we ordered our cherry limeades during Happy Hour.

On the way home we got some money out at the bank so we could pay Richard $400 more dollars. He has done half the job and we are paying him half the pay. James paid him $400 this morning so that makes a total of $800. Richard started grading the last stretch of road and made a big pile of dirt which was difficult to drive in. I wonder how long it will take him to finish this road since he only works about two hours a day. He is old, in his seventies or eighties and he said he runs out of steam. Tell me about it.

James went on a Luna ride while I studied the gospel. This evening we watched season 1 episode 8 of "Lark Rise to Candleford."
A violent storm hits Lark Rise and Candleford. The arrival of a radical new teacher causes divisions in the two communities. Dorcas has a new admirer, the new teacher, James Delafield. Alf tries to impress Laura, who seems increasingly smitten with Philip.
Quotes
Dorcas:
"Laura, will you tell Zillah Mr. Delafield and I will take tea in the parlor with Banbury cake."
Dorcas: "I do like to think well of myself, it is my one weakness."
Mr. Delafield to the men of Lark Rise in the Wagon and Horses Inn:
"Poverty is no disgrace. It is a great inconvenience though."

 Happy Birthday Autumn!

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

Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
Moses 4:2
But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and chosen from the beginning, said unto me, - Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
Book of Mormon
Alma 12:28-13:9
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
John 17


General Conference
Seeking Knowledge by the Spirit
Mathias Held
"We liked the emphasis on personal growth, on education, on hard work and self-reliance. We learned about the remarkable humanitarian program. And we were impressed by the general conferences, with the wonderful music and the profound spiritual principles shared there."

We left for our shift at the temple around 5:38 this morning, listening to the above talks on the way. 

Even though we had two bundt cakes we only took the almond poppy seed one into the temple to share. We left the other one in the car to take to the valley.

The Brimhall's presided over our preparation meeting. 

Before leaving for the temple this morning I got 3,000 steps. As I did my rounds today I had my phone in my pocket counting my steps. James does this every week we work. I did it today because I knew I was not going to have time today to do very much walking.

My schedule went something like this: Plan for the veil with Sister Reidhead, break, locker room, top of the stairs greeter, assistant veil director for the 8 am session. Initiatory, bapistry - they didn't need me, assistant veil director for the 9:30 session, waiting for the next veil with Sister Reidhead, and assistant veil director for the 11 am session. There were only six sisters in this session.

We left for the valley from Snowflake, going through Heber and Payson. We stopped in Payson at Culver's to eat. I had a salad and a sundae and James had the fish dinner. He said it was delicious.
When we arrived in Mesa we went straight to Highland High School where Ruby and Lola's dance recital was being held. 
Two of the first people we saw upon arriving were Darrel and Trina. Darrel bought our tickets and then went to buy flowers for the girls while James and I saved seats. Trina stayed outside waiting for her parents. All six of us sat together.

The name of the dance company that Ruby and Lola belong to is: Rhythm and Motion Dance Center. The name of the program was Danceopoly and the dances were all based around games. 

There were 28 numbers. Lola's was #6, Pieface. They danced to the song Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch with tap shoes on.  I especially loved it when they blew kisses. It was so cute.

Ruby's dance was #27 and was called, "Fortnite." It was a hiphop dance. They did the "floss" at the end so when it was over I made Ruby do the floss for me.





Such cuties!

Darrel didn't want to spend another $15 a piece for Rowan and Addy to come so they each went to a friends house during the concert. 

James and I walked after the concert and back at Darrel and Trina's. He went outside and I stayed inside.
