Elder Quentin L. Cook
"The role of the family in God's plan is 'to bring us happiness, to help us learn correct principles in a loving atmosphere, and to prepare us for eternal life.'
The beautiful traditions of religious observance in the home need to be embedded in the hearts of our children."
"Like the young sunflower, when we follow the Savior of the world, the Son of God, we flourish and become glorious despite the many terrible circumstances that surround us.
He truly is our light and life."
I spent the morning getting ready to go to the cabin. We are taking Alex and Seth with us. They have been wanting to go all summer but James has been too busy working on the house to take them.
I picked up Alex at the Chandler seminary building around 11:45. Seth was waiting at our house. He just had all of his wisdom teeth pulled so he was lying down on the couch. Alex helped load the trailer. We are taking a saw and our BBQ.
Of course we stopped at Burger House for burros. (We should call it Burro House). I ordered a green mixed burro and a red burro. I ate the red burro on the way. It was good, but I still prefer the green burros.
The boys stopped at the Safeway in Show Low to do some shopping. Since this is the 24th of July weekend and there is a big pioneer celebration and rodeo in Snowflake, the Safeway parking lot was packed and the boys said it was crazy inside the store.
We stopped at Show Low Motors and bought a new gas cap for the Razr. It cost around $20.
As we came into Vernon the guys had seen some antelope out in the field across from the post office. They wanted to take the Razr in and get a closer look. They got about half way down our road and it sputtered and died. Water in the gas tank. While they were trying to get it started Seth looked down on the ground and found the original gas cap. Well, now we have two.
James spent the next hour or so trying to syphon gas out of the Razr. He finally got it to run but it was too late to go looking for the antelope. Now he smells like gas.
James and I watched a Hallmark movie called "Novel Romance." They boys watched "Shrek."
I took a picture of our backporch view and posted it on Facebook.
