April 2016 General Conference quote
All the snow that is left from Saturday's storm
is on the mountains.
Today for scripture study James and I read Mosiah 11:1-15. The question is: How are King Benjamin and King Noah different, and how can we develop character traits of King Benjamin? I would say the basic differences are that one had charity and the other had pride. One was spiritual and the other was carnal. One remembered the Savior and the other did not. If we remember the Savior and try to emulate Him we can become more like King Benjamin.
Congratulations Jackson!
Vickie called me this morning in response to my message about our satellite failing to record some shows. She helped me do a switch test and told me that if we have the problem to do the switch test again. I am grateful to know there is someone out there who knows more about technology than I do!
James went in to town to get some lumber and do some other errands. I decided to stay home and get some things done. One of the things I did was clean the mud off the carpet and floor from Saturday.
We are praying for Ecuador.
Today was Senior Ditch Day at Chandler High School. This is what Alex did.
Looks like fun.
I fancied up our leftovers from Saturday and Sunday by adding some corn to the rice and putting the chicken in the rice. It was quite tasty.
For FHE we listened to Elder Duncan's conference talk on forgiveness. After FHE we watched our Hallmark movie. This one was called "The Generation Gap".

The story is about a boy growing up in New York City with his single mom. He has alot of anger because his dad left and he keeps getting into fights at school. His mom sends him to stay with his grandpa in a small town for the summer. Grandpa is a veteran of World War II and everyone calls him the colonel. It's a great story about a boy learning respect, coming of age, and developing a strong bond with his grandpa. We both enjoyed it.
