For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

2 Nephi 33; "Receive the Holy Ghost" David A. Bednar, Oct 2010
Nephi's words are true - They testify of Christ - Those who believe in Christ will believe Nephi's words, which will stand as a witness before the judgment bar.

"I testify of the truth of what I have said here and of the truths taught and to be taught in this conference. This is all made possible because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. As we know from modern revelation, He 'glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his hands' DC 76:43; In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."


I got an email from my friend Tamara whose son's mission farewell (I know they don't call them that anymore, but for lack of a better explanation that's what I'm calling it), was supposed to be tomorrow. Here is what the email said:
"So everyone will know tomorrow, but I wanted all of you to know beforehand that Jace has to postpone his mission for 1 year. Our family is sad, but understand that in the end it will be better for him. We are spending time with Jace giving him support to help him regroup and figure out what he's going to do next. Tomorrow's going to be rough because of expectations that it is his farewell, and we've been trying to let every know."
This was my response: "Thank's for letting us know. Tell him we love him!
Tamara is our ward Relief Society president. I am a counselor and so is Kerri. Here is what Kerri said:
"Thank you for the info. May it all be for the best."

We love and support the Applegate family. They are a great family!
I told Tamara I would attend ward council for her in the morning at 7:30. Chuck has bronchitis and asked his counselor Gary to attend for him. Too bad he didn't ask James, we could have gone together!

James and I finally got the sheets put on the rest of the beds upstairs. I also did some sweeping and a little cleaning. Somehow it gets very dusty up there. James wants to get rid of the ping pong table and so do I. I was thinking about getting some more Brick'em Young temples and set them around on top of it but I haven't shared that idea with him. If he doesn't like the idea, we will probably put the table outside this summer.

I got my books cleaned and packed in the box and ready to ship this morning. James and I went into town this afternoon. I picked up a few items at Walmart while he went to UPS and who knows where else. I got some more strawberries and Coolwhip for our dessert on Monday after our "Come Follow Me" lesson.

I'm proud of myself for getting two loads of books shipped off this week.

On your daily list of things to do, do you have, 'catch a mouse.' James does. He catches rats and mice on a daily basis because he has several traps set outside, in the storage room and in the pantry. I guess we need to build a mouseleum outside.

Lots of photos today!




   









 Nannie gave me the book on the right, 
and the one on the left was one of my
mom's favorites.

 Paul says this makes him happy,
his family.





Because it's spring break people are
"out and about"










Jared, Molly, and Charlie went to the zoo
while Kacey and Tanner went to a

 Can you tell they love each other?
What kind of animals are those in
the background?

 Happy Halloween everyone!


The low this morning was 21 degrees, but at least there isn't any wind.

I love this quote by President Hunter.

I have discovered the Mormon Channel app for my phone thanks to my friend Karen Schneider.  Today I listened to an interview and song by Brooke White.  I also heard a story about a little boy names Ryan who is helping to raise money to build wells in Africa.  He started the project when he was 6 years old. Wow!

James had an appointment in town at 10 am today with someone concerning the Horne job.  I didn't go because I felt like I had too many things to do to get ready for our Young Women's Book of Mormon breakfast on Saturday.  Also I set a goal at the beginning of October to index 200 names and as of this morning I still had 67 to go.  I did finish!  I worked on a Maine cemetery project which was fun because the names were type writeen and therefore very legible!

James and I continue to read the Book of Mormon, a conference talk everyday, and we are re-reading Victoria Holt's "The Mistress of Mellyn."  When I was a teenager my grandma Strickland, Nannie, let me read her copy of The Mistress of Mellyn.  She is the one that got me started on Victoria Holt's books.  What do I like about them?  There is always a mystery to solve, some romance, which isn't too racy, and usually an old English manor to explore.  The Mistress of Mellyn contains all of these elements!

Max is learning how to cook.  This week he helped his mom make baked ziti for dinner.
Master Chef Jr. here he comes!

Guess who learned to ride a two wheel bike?
It's Miss Ruby!!

Since it's Halloween I wanted to post some Halloween pictures.
James and I took the left over candy from last night's Mutual 
activity to the Vernon Park where the Vernon School
was having a carnival.  While there we saw this monster:
Colter Hunsaker

Some more Halloween characters:
Michael the Fat Man, can dance!
 Halloween in El Paso.
Trick or Treaters,
Joshua, Evan, and Max.
Joe and friends, Carter and Cash.
 Max and Addy at the ward Trunk or Treat.
Max is a businessman and Addy is an angel. (She really is!!)
