April General Conference
"A Good Foundation Against the Time to Come"
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
"At general conference in April 1851, members of the Church voted unanimously to sustain a motion to build a temple 'to the name of the Lord.' Two years later, on February 14, 1853, the site was dedicated by Heber C. Kimball in a public ceremony attended by several thousand Saints, and ground was broken for the foundation of the Salt Lake Temple. A few months later, on April 6, the massive cornerstones of the temple were laid and dedicated with elaborate ceremonies that included a color guard and bands and a procession led by Church leaders from the old tabernacle to the temple site, where remarks and prayers were offered at each of the four stones."

I have decided I need to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet so today I ate an orange bell pepper. Hey, it's a start!
My book balance this morning is $1,073.75. The sad thing is I will probably only get about half of this amount sent to me as Amazon likes to keep money in your account. That's okay, I will get the rest in two more weeks.
Stacy graduated from aestetician (esthetician)? school. Someone dropped off a box of cookies from Crumble Bakery. She thought it was either Sheri or Kim and Brian. Come to find out, it was Paul!
I listened to one of the talks for this week's family study, "Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence" by Jeffrey R. Holland. It was a BYU Devotional talk from March 2, 1999 and boy was it good. The topic this week is personal revelation.
James and I have two forms of entertainment as of late. One is the reading of the Aunt Dimity books and the other is watching an episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford" in the evenings before going to bed. Both are set in rural England. One is from the 19th century and the other the 21st. "Aunt Dimity and the Lost Prince" is starting out to be really good!
James has another form of entertainment and that is going for a ride on Luna in the afternoon/evening. Although it was a little windy today the weather was in the 70's, just about perfect.
James heard from Mario, the guy who owns the houses he is building. Mario is upset because one of the houses does not have a door from the garage to the house. I told James I would be a little upset to but he said: "Mario had that plan for over six months and he could have complained then. If he wants us to put in a door we will, but he is going to pay for it." Mario does not handle stress very well. He gets upset and starts yelling. We will see how this one pans out.
We had one steak left in the refrigerator and James cooked it for me for dinner. I offered to share it with him but he declined. It was delicious.
As part of my gospel study I belong to a group called Inklings. Along with studying the Restoration Proclamation, we are discussing ways to nourish the body and beautify the soul. Today's discussion was on positive affirmations. Each morning when I get up I am supposed to say three positive affirmations. Today I am kind, I am faithful, and I am loved. I have done this before but needed to be reminded that this is a good way to keep positive thoughts and to exercise faith.
Tonight's episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford" Season 2 Episode 2:
A handsome stranger rides into Candleford with a look of determination about him. Along his way, he chances upon young Edmunc Timmins and presents him with a silver thrupence before heading on his way. His name is James Dowland.
Quotes
Laura:
"There were those who said that Lark Rise was like the outer wilds beyond the bounds of civilization. So, a child caught up in this time of so much change, a child with dreams might need to escape. But sometimes we feel the need to return because sometimes there are things from the past that can only be resolved at home."
JD to Edmund:
"A silver thrupence can change a boys life if he knows how to use it well."

This picture hangs in the hallway of the Snowflake
Temple where sister temple workers who are assisting at the
veil wait to be called in. I have, along with my other sister temple workers, evaluated this painting so many times. It is by one
of my favorite artists, Walter Rane. There are some
things I question, such as the position of a leg on one of
the apostles, but all in all I love this painting!
