The left side of my face still has some swelling.  I wasn't going to go to church but I layed down and put an ice pack on my face and it looked a little better.  Diana and I had planned on visiting less active girls today after the block to invite them to the Gilbert Open House on February 1st.  It was because of this commitment that I went to my meetings.  I went by myself because James is speaking in the Cibeque branch today with Sean Hunsaker. When I got to church the first person to speak to me was Jimmie Applegate.  He asked me to say the closing prayer in sacrament meeting.  How could I refuse?

Another reason I needed to come today was to give Linda Diewald her birthday present, a jar of homemade jam, vanilla sugar body cream and a bag of peanut M&M's.  If anyone noticed that the side of my face was swollen, no one said anything.  I sat next to Kathy and Chuck Crane during sacrament meeting.  Cole Davis, a high councilman from Clay Springs was our speaker.  The topic was missionary work.  Alice Wilhelm gave her first talk in sacrament meeting.  She did a good job.

In Sunday School was studied the creation as recorded in the book of Moses.  Brother Wilhelm gave me something to read and made the comment that he loves to hear me read.  How nice!
Diana Curtis gave the lesson in Young Women's on Heavenly Father.  Her lessons are always good.  After the block Diana and I visited Alex Jones, Arizona Hill, and we went to Coty Iannoli's.  She was at her father's today so we told Brother Kuper about our trip to the temple.

James and I attended Sean Hunsaker's Book of Mormon class.

I am excited about our trip to the valley tomorrow to tour the Gilbert temple with Dennis and Denise.

The pyramid was amazing!
