Old Testament
1 Kings 13-14
13 Jeroboam is smitten and then healed by a prophet from Judah - The prophet delivers his message, is led astray by a prophet from Bethel, and is slain by a lion for his disobedience - Jeroboam continues false worship in Israel.
14 Ahijah foretells the ruin of Jeroboam's house, the death of his child, and the scattering of the Israelites because of their idolatry - Jeroboam dies and Nadab reigns - Judah, under Rehoboam, turns to wickedness - Shishak of Egypt takes treasures from the temple - Rehoboam dies and Abijam reigns.
General Conference
Am I A Child of God?
Elder Brian K. Taylor
"Christ felt my pains, my sorrows, my guilt." Jen concludes. "I felt God's pure love and had never experienced anything so powerful! Knowing I am a child of God is the most powerful knowledge I possess!"

Today was Uncle Delbert's funeral. James was going to go and then turn around and come back in time for our anniversary party at 5 pm. this afternoon but he decided not to go. He said he wanted to spend the day with me instead. How sweet.
The first thing James did was go to the store and get the boys some donuts for breakfast. They also had ice cream and scrambled eggs. What a breakfast!
They just hung out in their room until Sheri came to pick them up around 11. Sheri was going to give us money for her boys but we asked her to pick up James's dry cleaning instead, which cost $34.
We spent a relaxing day at the condo and James made us green smoothies before we start our fast. The entire state of Arizona has been asked to fast for moisture by the Area Seventies.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon we left for Chandler. First we had to pick up James's prescription at CVS and then we went to get gas. When we got to the church on McQueen around 5 Kim and Stacy were there setting up and Sheri and her family had just arrived.
Everyone brought their own food and ate before the actual party started. When the party starts, everyone is here except Joe and Jared Ammon, and of course, Jared's family. We had some extra people here too, Sarah with Dallin, Kaitlin with Adam, and Alexis with Michael.
Adam and Michael performed a Good Ole War song, "Not Quite Happiness."
Uncle Delbert's four sons: Neal, Marshall, Delbert, and Curtis.

Adam and Michael performed a Good Ole War song, "Not Quite Happiness."
The song should be called "Just Love."
After the song Stacy asked us to bring our chairs to the front, sit back to back, take our shoes off, and give the other person one of our shoes, so we have one of our shoes and one of their's.
She asked us questions and if the answer was Karen we held up my shoes, if it was James we held up his shoes. We couldn't see what the other person was answering.
Lola put the red nose on me.
Trina had a questionnaire for everyone to fill out regarding answers I had given and James had given. Everyone got to choose if they were on my team or James's team and the right answer would be whatever each of us had said. Team James took James's answers and Team Karen took my answers as the right one.
Kim decorated a bulletin board and we stood in front of it, twice.
We look alike!
Ruby dressed us. She said grandpa had to be
the girl and I had to be the boy.
We had lots of goodies. Sheri brought two cakes and Trina made
chocolate chip cookies, butterscotch rice krispy treats, and brownies.
This cake was like strawberry shortcake and
was delicious!
James seems to like it

The rest of the evening we watched videos and looked at photos and read statements by loved ones. It was a great celebration. We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful family both here and in Texas.
