Bobby and Darlene Noel
They were just called to serve their fourth mission.
Bobby is going to be the chaplain at BYU-Hawaii.
What a great example they are!
 
I just listened to Elder Hales' conference talk.  He makes the point that our religious freedom depends upon our use of the gift of agency.  It was such a good talk and very timely considering all that is going on in our country right now. 
 
In reading Hermana (Dahlia) Dowdle's email from her mission in Chicago she makes this statement: "Everyone should serve a mission!"
 
Ben and Max came down to work this morning.  We worked outside sweeping and cleaning the front porch and then they came inside and helped me pack some boxes.  We cleaned things out under the TV and the dry sink.  Ben packed up all the books and DVD's stored on the fireplace shelves.  Ben went home and Max stayed and helped Michael clean the closet under the basement stairs.  We found a 1st Edition unopened Heman action figure belonging to Darrel.  Adam looked it up on the internet and determined it was worth about $50.
 
I had a short visit with Adam again before work.  He helped me delete some items from my phone so I could take more pictures.
 
James and his crew, including Seth, poured 40 yards of concrete at Desert Highlands.
 
Joel repainted the hall and entryway.  It looks so much nicer!  He is such a good painter.  I am so grateful for his help and I know that James is too.
 
After lunch and a nap I set out to do some errands.  I rented a storage unit at Central Self-Storage, then went to the bank and Walmart. 
 
Later for dinner James and I went to Serranos.  We love their chips, salsa and bean dip.  Also I have been craving a chili relleno.  It did not disappoint.
 
Stacy's friend Elska has decided not to buy our house.  We were hoping she would but I can't say that I am surprised that she decided against it. 
 
I went to bed very stiff and sore.  To relax, we listened to the conference address by Elder Kevin W. Pearson entitled "Stay By the Tree."  It is one of my favorite talks.
