Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Is there anything more beautiful than a sleeping baby?
I spent some time this morning cleaning off the front porch. I noticed a pile of bones at the bottom of the steps and realized they were gathered by Darrel's kids when they were here. Maybe we need to make a bone graveyard.
I went into town this morning to get my car washed and to vacuum it out in preparation for this afternoon's temple trip. By the time I got back home dust had already collected on the back window. It's a good thing I carry a duster in my car.
I took a nap, and then got ready to go to the temple. Our stake is having the youth do baptisms in honor of pioneer day so all of the wards in our stake are participating. Our group met at the church in Vernon at 2:30. We are scheduled for a chapel session at 3:30 and then baptisms at 4. Those who attended: Melchizedek Priesthood holders: Our new bishopric, Bishop Miller, Brother Wilhelm, and Brother Thompson. Bishop Miller's dad Ed and Brother Wilhelm's dad Mel and Elder's Stott and Knight were our seven priesthood representatives. We had two young men, Jace and Ty Applegate and five young women, Jordyn and Shelly Applegate, Hope and Heaven Lootans, and Alice Wilhelm. For young women leaders it was Diana, Ruth and I.
It was after 4 before we went in to the chapel session. We are the last group and they were running a little behind. Bishop Miller spoke to the youth. He is going to be a good bishop. Once we started the baptisms it didn't take long to finish. Afterwards the girls took us up behind the temple for these pictures.
I was trying to get the Angel Moroni
into this picture but you can't see him.
Afterwards, as is our tradition, we went to eat at El Cupido's.
Diana and I rode home together and had a nice visit. I am so grateful that I have been able to get to work with her and get to know her better. I consider her a good friend.
I got home around 7:45 and watched the rest of last night's "So You Think You Can Dance." James was home from valley when I went to bed around 9pm. He is so happy to be here.
