Alma 24:19-30
19 - Converted Lamanites are firm in their belief.
20 - Their brethren make preparations for war. They came up to the land of Nephi to destroy the king and the people.
21 - The Anti-Nephi-Lehies prostrate themselves to the earth and they call on the name of the Lord. The Lamanites begin to slay them with the sword.
22 - With no resistance, a thousand and five were slain. They have gone to dwell with God.
23-24 - The Lamanites stop slaying their brethren. Many repented of what they had done.
25 - They threw down their weapons of war . . . they came down even as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.
26 - The people of God were joined that day by more than the number who had been slain.
27 - . . . the Lord worketh in many ways to the salvation of His people.
28 - The greatest number of those who had slain their brethren were Amalekites and Amulonites, the greatest number after the order of Nehors.
29 - Those who joined the people of the Lord were all descendants of Laman and Lemuel.
30 - . . . after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God, and have had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness, and then have fallen away into sin and transgression, they become more hardened, and thus their state becomes worse than though they had never known these things.
We got a five minute cloudburst of rain this morning.
Before leaving for the valley at 7am James made our bed and helped me put clean sheets on Kim and Brian's bed downstairs. I really do appreciate him!
I listened to Elder Holland's conference address for the third time now and I still enjoy it. "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders Among you" is based on Joshua 3:5 where Joshua says to his people: "Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you." I think I am going to send this one to Michael and Alex.
After doing my gospel study and texting the scripture assignment to Alex and Michael I started getting ready to go to the valley. I have a doctor's appointment at Dr. Allen's office in Mesa at 1:30. I had planned on leaving at 9 but it was 10 instead. I cleaned out the refrigerator and mopped the kitchen floor for Kim and Brian who are coming up tomorrow.
I arrived at the doctor's office right at 1:30. I was happy. I met with Ruth Hoskins and really liked her. Dr. Allen is on vacation. She went over my labs for my hormone supplements and thyroid and then gave me a copy to keep. I've never had a doctor do that before. I need less thyroid and more estrodial.
My next stop is our home away from home, Terry & Cathi's. James is not there so I unload my car by myself. It takes awhile because I put everything away as I unload. I lay down to take a nap and James arrives. Good timing on his part.
After my nap I go shopping at Deseret Book with Kim. Stacy was suppose to go to but she had other plans. It is her anniversary so I understood.
I get ten books at Deseret Book. Two of them are free because if you buy four, you get the fifth free. Here are the books I bought: the five book Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull. I am getting these books to read because one of the children in my Primary class is reading them and I want to be able to talk about them with him. Also, I like to have children's books in my own library for my grandchildren to read. I got three Regency Romance novels and two boos by Tim Ballard, The Washington Hypothesis and The Lincoln Hypothesis. We already have the Lincoln Hpothesis but I don't know if we will ever get it back from Stacy. This one is paperback. I love Tim Ballard. He is one of my heroes.

Some of my new books. The others are in the car.
I have already started reading the Washington one and
Fablehaven, and I like both of them!
The Trezise's, except for Alex, went to Seaworld today. Ben has a bad sunburn on his face.
Poor Ben!
He still managed to have a good time at Sea World.
James and I had dinner at Taco Bell. Wendy and Colton came by after having dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Colton is so quiet. I always enjoy visiting with Wendy. I gave them some of my Utah cherries to eat and I gave Cathi a jar of Kathy Crane's jalapeno jelly.
Jared says he has read this book and I am putting it on my wishlist.
I really like Jack Christianson
We are grateful to Cathi and Terry for their hospitality in taking in a couple of refugees.
Dave and Laura left for Boise this evening. It is a 15 hour trip and Dave plans on driving all night and then Laura will drive in the morning. I hope they have a great time!
