Copenhagen, Denmark
118th operating temple


Jacob 2:1-16
Jacob denounces the love of riches, pride, and unchastity - Men may seek riches to help their fellowmen
Why is it important to remember that all our blessings come from our Heavenly Father?
Alma 37
The plates of brass and other scriptures are preserved to bring souls to salvation - The Jaredites were destroyed because of their wickedness - Their secret oaths and covenants must be kept from the people - Counsel with the Lord in all your doings - As the Liahona guided the Nephites, so the word of Christ leads men to eternal life. About 74 B.C.
DC 43:1-12
1-7, Revelations and commandments come only through the one appointed; 8-14, The Saints are sanctified by acting in all holiness before the Lord;
How as members of the Church can we diligently sustain the Prophet and apostles everyday?
General Conference
Learn from Alma and Amulek
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"Our beloved Savior knows where you are.  He knows your heart. He wants to rescue you.  He will reach out to you.  Just open your heart to Him.  It is my hope that those who have strayed from the path of  discipleship - even by only a few degrees - will contemplate the goodness and grace of God, see with their hearts, learn from Alma and Amulek, and hear the life-changing words of the Savior:
'Come, follow me.'"


James left early to check on his job.  When he came home around 8 or 9 he wanted to go to Ikea to pick up Hailey's desk.  Hailey ask me yesterday if I could pick up a desk for her at Ikea.  She emailed me the gift cards to pay for it.  As I thought about it I realized this was the best time to do it.  I hurried and showered and got ready to go.  This was the perfect time to shop at Ikea.  The doors just opened and no one here.  I went directly to a sales clerk on the main floor and ask her where I could obtain the pieces to the desk.  She wrote everything down for me and directed me where to go and even went and got me a cart.  Everything at Ikea is self-serve.  Luckily James was there with me to lift everything onto the cart.
We loaded everything into the back of James's truck and we were on our way.  
Ikea, the serve yourself, build yourself store.

Hailey, second from the left.

On the way back to Cathi and Terry's we stopped at Whataburger and used the rest of our gift card for lunch.  A Whataburger is too big for me, I should have ordered a junior.

Back home we picked up Max and Joshua and made a candy run to Walgreen's and drove out to Trina and Darrel's.  James is watching Rowan, Lola, Joshua, and Max while Trina, Ruby, Kim and I go to see Beauty and the Beast.  We met Kim outside the Regal Theater in Gilbert.  She brought out tickets.  The seats recline!  We saw Laura and Nancy Y. as we were going in.  We all loved the movie.
We missed Addy.

I think the Beast was my favorite character.

Addy and her friends got bracelets made on the
beach today.

Back at Trina's Darrel was home and he and James flew the drone in the house and Darrel broke some of the propellers and had to order some more.  James took the kids out for pizza and then to the park for fly his drone.  They only problem was he couldn't figure out how to fly it.  I guess he will have to take some more lessons from Dave.

Back to Chandler we go with Max and Joshua.  Joshua is staying at Max's for awhile to play with Evan.  Evan was gone to a Cubscout Day Camp all day.  

Laura came over to plan some family things with Cathi and I.  Lois wants to take everyone to dinner and so we schedule it for April 7th when I will be down for my next infusion.  Also we schedule a planning meeting in May to plan for Lois's birthday party in October.  It's a 90th surprise party.

I went with James to Queen Creek this evening instead of working on my blog.  We stopped at El Pollo for dinner.  I got two shrimp tacos.  They were quite good.  My right arm hurts so badly that I have a hard time sleeping.

James and I read 1 Nephi 9 and 10 and had prayer before my doctor's appointment at 8:45 with Tiffany at the Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Center in Mesa.  The good news is I lost 4 lbs. since my last visit.  That's a pound a month!  I really like Tiffany because she explains things so well.  She said because Enbrel is so expensive I can change to Remacaid but will have to come in to the office for infusions.  I said I would be willing to do that.  She will set everything up and let me know when my first infusion will be.  In the mean time I will continue to take my Enbrel every other week.  My next appointment is in March unless they set me up for an infusion sooner.  This is the medication my friend Adrienne Ellsworth is on.  They took nine vials of blood because I am changing medications because they need to do more tests.  I'm glad I was able to walk out on my own.

I went shopping for Anna's birthday at the Marshall's in Gilbert near Deseret Book.  I bought the neatest purse for Anna and then went to Deseret Book to get a journal and some Young Women's stuff.
Anna's favorite color is green.
The Kneader's next to Deseret Book is open.  When I told Sheri she said we should go there after Evan and Rowan's game tomorrow.  Sounds like a plan!

Back at home James and I went to lunch at Pei Wei.  I had the spicy chicken salad.
Yummy!
We were supposed to have an appointment with Erik at Tempe Toyota this afternoon because my check engine light is still on.  Erik forgot and stayed home from work today so after driving to Tempe, James drove back to Chandler.  I needed to go to Ikea so my trip wasn't a total loss.  I walked the entire store before I found the 99 cent frames I was looking for.  I got my workout for the day.  The frames are for the Young Women's birthday gifts.

Back at home James and I took a nap in our downstairs bungalow and then we went to see the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" starring Ben Stiller.  We really enjoyed the movie and the popcorn, drink and Junior Mints were great too.

I came home and visited with Stacy awhile before going to bed.  Joshua doesn't ask to play with my phone anymore now that he got his tablet for Christmas.

 How fun!
I want this in my house.
Gorgeous!
