Happy 2nd Birthday to Lola!
Perseverance leads to success. The Lord said to the sons of Mosiah in Alma 17:11 - "I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls." With this promise they "took courage to go forth unto the Lamanites to declare unto them the word of God." Alma 17:12.
Alma 27:1-15.
1 - Lamanites return to the land of Nephi.
2 - Amalekites stir up the Lamanites to anger and they begin again to destroy the Anti-Nephi-Lehies.
3 - The Anti-Nephi-Lehies suffer themselves again to be slain.
4 - Ammon and his brethren are moved with compassion.
5 - They suggest to the king that they take the people to Zarahemla.
6 - The king was afraid the Nephites would destroy them.
7 - Ammon says he will inquire of the Lord.
8 - The king says if the Lord says they should go, they will go and be the Nephites slaves.
9 - Ammon says it is illegal to have slaves and they will rely upon the mercies of their brethren.
11 - Ammon inquires of the Lord and the Lord sas unto him:
12 - Get this people out of this land.
13 - Ammon tells the king.
14 - The Anti-Nephi-Lehies departed out of the land.
15 - Ammon goes to Zarahemla to tell his brethren of the situation.

Around 10 o'clock this morning Cathi, Sheri and I went shopping. First we went to Deseret Book where I got a new temple dress and slip, a new sash, and some more garments. I didn't take long because Sheri was waiting.
Next stop, the Chandler mall. First we went to the Oil and Vinegar store where Cathi bought some strawberry rhubarb vinegar and some lime oil. I bought some more bottles. Sheri went to Ann Taylor and Banana Republic while Sheri and I went to See's Candy. I got a dozen butterscotch brown sugar candies to give to Nancy for fixing my glasses. Sheri said she would see her on Wednesday.
On the way home we stopped at Circle K for drinks. Thanks Cathi for buying mine. I should be buying yours. Back at home I call James and get him to stop at Fry's and then I go to Walmart to get us some food for tonight. James was at Lindsay Smith's and has to go back. We take a short nap and then he goes back to Lindsay's.
After he gets home we pack the car, stop at Charlotte's to look at her toilet and go on to Lola's party. James will come back tomorrow to fix the toilet.
We picked up Adam on our way out to Darrel and Trina's. Jared and Sheri were already there. We were a little late. Sheri took the cutest video of Lola on Snapchat when we sang to her. She was so excited!

I made pesto flatbread and a salad for our dinner. I also brought some corn on the cob to cook in the microwave. James and I didn't have any but Adam did.

After dinner and the "party" some of us headed out to look for the fireworks. Adam, James, Rowan, Max, Addy, and Evan stayed at the house. I guess they were having too much fun to watch fireworks. Lola, Ruby, and Molly started out in our car but Lola eventually ended up in Trina, Darrel, and Jared's car. Sheri went home. She's a party pooper.
The fireworks were great!
