Another Selfie attempt at the Snowflake temple
Alma 50:1-20
1 - Moroni digs up heaps of earth round about all the cities throughout all the land possessed by the Nephites.
2 - On top of the ridges of earth he had built works of timber as tall as a man.
3 - Upon the timbers were pickets.
4 - He had towers and places of security to be built.
5 - They could cast stones from the top thereof.
7 - Moroni has his armies drive the Lamanites out of the east wilderness into their own lands south of Zarahemla.
9 - The Nephites possess the east wilderness.
10 - Moroni continues to build fortifications in the south of the land northward.
13-14 - The Nephites begin to build cities, Moroni, and Nephihah.
15 - They also built one in the north called Lehi.
16 - Thus ended the 20th year.
18 - The Nephites did prosper exceedingly and they became exceedingly rich.
19 - The Lord is merciful and just in fulfilling all His words unto the children of men which He spake unto Lehi saying:
20 - Blessed art thou and thy children and they shall be blessed, inasmuch as they shall keep my commandments they shall prosper in the land. But inasmuch as they will not keep my commandments they shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Our temple names today: Marietta Davis and Solomon Bales
On the way home from the temple James dropped me off at Teresa Smith's home for a Relief Society progressive dinner. We had appetizers at Teresa's and then moved to Rosie Lauritzen's for the main course. I drove with Trenda and Sandra Wilhelm, Tammy Grap, and Ashley Reidhead. I felt like I was in the fun, young car. Ashley is new in our ward and was recently called as the Relief Society secretary. She has a two year old and a three month old baby.
Rosie Lauritzen is a great cook. She had prepared chicken enchiladas and rice and meat. We had several non-member women attend. Teresa gave a lesson and Tamara Applegate shared some stories of her young married years in Relief Society.

Just in case you were going to sleep reading
my boring blog, I place pictures to wake you up.
Our final destination was Amy Reynolds' for dessert. We had a yummy banana torte with pecan encrusted crust. I rode back to the church with Stefani Hunsaker and Linda Price and then Linda Price drove me home. I sure do like her and wish she and John would move up here year round.
I was exhausted when I got home and in dire need of a nap. James was working outside. He actually burned some of the brush that has been piling up the past few months.
I spent the afternoon preparing for my Primary lesson on Samuel the Lamanite.
This evening I read from "The Seven Tipping Points that Saved the World", and "The China Study." Good reading!!
I texted with Pam Giles this evening. I saw her today but we really didn't get to visit. I told her about Prolympian and how excited I am about it. Pam is a good friend.
Tricia and her kids left for Houston today. They are going on a cruise with Christine, Tricia's birth mother. Here are some pictures Anna took in the car.
Two beautiful girls.
James catching up on his sleep.
Trina is excited about her upcoming hiking adventure to Havasupai. She ordered some goodies to take with her.
How good can this be?
At least the picture looks good.
