"Be Faithful, Not Faithless"
Stephen W. Owen
"Where do we find true spiritual nourishment? Most often, it is not trending on social media. We find it when we 'press our way forward' on the covenant path, 'continually holding fast to the rod of iron,' and partake of the fruit of the tree of life. This means that we must deliberately take time each day to disconnect from the world and connect with heaven."
RWC: "We will not finish our work until we have saved ourselves, and then not until we shall have saved all depending upon us." - Joseph F. Smith
I began paying creditors this morning with the checks that Amrock sent. The problem is, the amounts are all wrong because they looked at the balances two months ago and we have continued to make payments on all of our accounts. One account we will be overpaying by $396.00. The company will not send us the refund. They will only send it to whomever issued the check, which is Amrock. Amrock told James they would send us the refund. It's just frustrating that they won't send it to us.
We over payed a couple of other creditors and they said they would send us the balance. It took me most of the morning to send out most of the checks.
We left for the valley around 12:37. We got gas and while I was getting the car washed James walked over to the bank with two checks to pay off our Chase credit cards.
On the way out of town we stopped at Arby's because James was hungry. He couldn't finish eating his sandwich and began to choke on it so badly that we had to stop. I wonder how long he is going to have this problem.
When we realized we were going to be a little late to Joshua's 5:00 performance, we asked Michael to pick up Evan for us, which he did. We stopped at Darrel's and unloaded our car and picked up Ruby and Lola and headed for Gilbert and Queen Creek where Legacy School is located. We got there just in time. Stacy had saved us seats on the front row.
It was a class play and very low key. The kids did everything and everyone knew their parts and they all had microphones. Joshua was a good Scrooge. Here are some pictures:
Such a handsome Scrooge
Scrooge's fans:
Paul, Lola, Alexis, Michael, Evan, Stacy, Dallin, Ruby, Grandpa and Grandma
After the play we took Evan, Ruby, and Lola to Chikfila for dinner.
Afterwards we took Evan home and got Ruby home in time to go to her dance class. I asked Evan about school and he said he was studying about World War I. I told him I didn't know much about World War I. How did the war start? He didn't know so I looked it up.
June 28, 1914. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, are assassinated by a Bosnian Serb nationalist in Sarajevo. July 28, 1914. World War 1 begins when Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia.
I learn so much from my grandchildren.
Back home at Darrel and Trina's. Oops, I forgot to mention that I asked Evan, Ruby, and Lola what they wanted for Christmas. Lola wants earrings, Ruby a Fitbit, and Evan says he's been asking for a Fitbit for years now and has never gotten one so he's about to give up.
Rowan had a cross country meet this afternoon and that's why he couldn't come to the play. Addy is working on a project for school.
Trina is getting ready for a Christmas Boutique this week. She had all of her leo's out and was getting them ready. When Darrel got home from work he immediately began making Trina another rack to hang her leo's on. He made it out of copper tubing.
James and I went for a walk outside. James also walked to Safeway. I was too tired. I also walked inside the house. While James was at Safeway I played "hide the baby Jesus" with Lola. Addy was watching "The Christmas Prince" on Netflix. I kind of got in to it. It's a trilogy. She started the second one but I didn't watch all of it. I went to bed.
Candi is in our ward. She and her husband went down
to help look for Willa.
Decorations at Darrel and Trina's:

The stockings were hung by the

The neighborhood was all lit up.

Kacey said this was soooo sad.
