James got a call early this morning from Lloyd.  The hopper, which is the buggy the guys use to carry concrete to the pour when they can't get a truck to it, broke down this morning.  James was very stressed but there wasn't much he could do, except worry and that doesn't help anything.

I love Helaman 5.  I call it my Wow! chapter.  This chapter begins by Helaman the 2nd teaching his sons the gospel.  Helaman 5:12 reads:  "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build the cannot fall."  Helaman was a good example of a parent teaching the gospel to his children.  There are other examples in the Book of Mormon such as Alma the younger, and Lehi.  I am also reminded of the story of  the children who were young at the time of King Benjamin's address and their parents did not teach them the gospel and how they rebelled.  (Mosiah 26).

Today I cleaned the kitchen, dining room, family and lilving rooms, and the entry and hall.  I like to work a while and then take a break.  During my breaks I watched Master Chef, The Walton's, and Rizzoli & Isles.  James got up and watched a little TV with me. 

Stacy met Lloyd's wife Tracy today and they really hit it off.  Stacy and Paul were watching a cooking show and Tracy told them that's what she likes to watch.  Stacy was also impressed that Tracy and her mom ran a cupcake bakery in Long Island.  Tracy also worked on the Desert Highland job today helping Lloyd. 

Stacy got a part time job, a few hours on Saturday, with Dr. Patel in Chandler.  Hope it works out for her.

Sheri had some news too.  Wolf Mechanical, the company who installed the airconditioner that they have had nothing but problems with, admitted that the air flow problem was their fault.  Hopefully now the will do something about it.
