"Am I securely tied to God so that my faith shows, or am I actually tied to something else?"
The water went off during the night. I noticed when I got up around 2 to go to the bathroom. James went outside and pushed the reset button but when I got up again at 3:30 it was still off so he got up again. The last time it worked! Thank goodness! What a disaster it would be with a houseful of people to not have any water.
Alex and Michael did not bring church clothes and I was quite upset because I had talked to Michael before he came and made it clear that I wanted them to go to sacrament meeting and then I would bring them home. James had also spoke to Alex. I let them know how I felt in a kind but firm way. We improvised and they came to sacrament meeting with us and then James brought them home.
The speakers in sacrament meeting were Jordyn Applegate, Judy Hunter, and Rick Lauritzen. Jordyn spoke on morality and Judy and Rick on Christlike love. It was a good meeting.
James missed Sunday School. We learned about Deborah, Gideon and Samson.
In Young Women's Randa Covert gave the lesson on the differences between the Melchizedek and Aaronic priesthoods. The girls took candy to the young men and thanked them for honoring their priesthood. We got new class presidencies, Alice is the Beehive president and Heaven the secretary, Kilee is the Mia Maid class president and Maddie the secretary, and Trenda is the Laurel president with Jordyn as the secretary. Alice, Heaven, and Jordyn were set apart today. The others will have to be done later as they were not here today.
After my meetings I came home and had lunch and took a nap before getting ready to go to our timeshare in the valley with James. Actually he drove his truck and I took my car. He went the Globe way and dropped some equipment off at the Chandler Airport. We said goodbye to our guests and told them to continue to make themselves at home. They will return to the valley tomorrow.
I wanted to include it here.
I checked in to Desert Sheraton Oasis rooms 3058 and 3057 which are on the third floor. Even with a luggage carrier I made three trips. I locked myself out and had to walk to the lobby barefooted to get another key. James arrived about an hour later. The rooms have been redecorated and everything looks brand new. The beds are comfortable and I love the pillows.
Not the Desert Sheraton Oasis, but
a castle somewhere in Europe.
