Alma 33:12-23
12 - Alma: Do ye believe those scriptures which have been written by them of old?
13 - Zenos said: Thou hast turned away thy judgments because of thy Son.
14 - If ye have read the scriptures how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?
15 - Both Zenos and Zenock spoke of these things.
17 - A second prophet of old testified of the Son of God and because the people didn't understand his words they stoned him to death.
19 - The Son of God was spoken of by Moses and he raised a type in the wilderness that whosoever would look upon it and live. Many did look and live.
20 - But few understood the meaning of those things, because of the hardness of their hearts. Many would not look and perished. They didn't look because they didn't think it would heal them.
22 - . . . cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that He will come to redeem His people, and that He shall suffer and die to atone for their sins, and that He shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before Him, to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.
23 - Plant this word in your hearts, and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith. And it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life. And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of His Son. And even all this ye can do if ye will. Amen.

Evan had a nightmare last night. He knocked on our door for quite awhile before James heard him. I didn't hear him because I had ear plugs in. He slept on one of our recliner chairs in our room and was fine the rest of the night. We were going to go to the temple this morning but decided to stay home to make sure Evan was okay when he got up. Also, I fixed the boys homemade pancakes for breakfast.
Last night we were talking about our favorite places and Joshua said that our old house on 108th Way was one of his favorite places and when he gets older if it ever goes up for sale he is going to buy it. I guess he is the one person in his family that really misses it.
James made this statement today: "I've had my voice for 8 weeks now. The longest I've had it for four years. Hooray!
The boys went out and helped grandpa a little this morning.

The concrete pour is on Monday.
James went in to town to get some supplies and came back with a bucket of chicken for lunch from KFC. Ian, Sheri, and Ben got here about the same time. Ben helped James outside raking abc.
I worked on my Primary lesson most of the afternoon while Sheri watched Family Feud. She is a little obsessed with the show.
Meanwhile at the beach in California:
The Case grandchildren.
Some of them are ours.
Rowan, Addy, Ruby, and Lola.
Don't you just love these swimsuits!
At five o'clock today Tasha and Kaitlynn came to our house with two guys who work for Saladmaster. They did a demo and then prepared dinner for us. Saladmaster is very elite cookware made with titanium metal. Sheri and I were so impressed with Shawn who did the demonstration. Tucker was his assistant and I think his partner. I ended up buying the smallest set but because I committed tonight I got a free electric skillet. Ian and Sheri didn't buy anything but Sheri said she would have people over for demonstrations. If she does two, she will get two of the Saladmaster Machines. I told her I would trade my electric skillet for one of them. It was a fun evening but James was a little stressed because I bought something. (He's also stressed about getting ready for concrete on Monday.) I think because of the lifetime guarantee and the fact that we will be eating healthier and spending less at the grocery store, my purchase will pay for itself in no time. Shawn is Alberta Nickolaus's great grandson.
The boys played Apples to Apples with Ben tonight.
