I was up at 4am to start preparing for the lesson I will be giving in Young Women today on taking upon us the name of Christ.  I took care of James before I left for Church, Miralax, pills, breakfast, and injection.  He is still in so much pain.

I was invited to sit by the Crane's during sacrament meeting.  Today is high council Sunday.  James was supposed to speak in the Pinedale ward.  David Hall from the high council and John Larson were the speakers in our ward.  The topics were being a good example and avoiding contention.  It was a good meeting.  Our Sunday School lessons was on missionary efforts of the Church during the Kirtland period.  I sat by Kaeli Nicoll.

I couldn't get my video to work during Young Women.  I hate it when that happens.  Kaeli calls me the Book of Mormon Nazi because I am always reminding everyone where they should be in their Book of Mormon reading.

My lesson went quite well, but I need to get more participation.  Those attending:  Shelly and Jordyn Applegate, Kilee and LeeAnn Hunsaker and their cousin Addy, and their Grandma Analee, Hope Lootans, Trenda Wilhelm, Maddie Carrol.  Other leaders: Diana Curtis, Kaeli Nicoll, Denice Hall and Brother Smith.  Each of the girls got a picture of the Savior to take home.

After Church our home teachers, Chuck Crane and Collin Dewitt came for a visit.  They brought the sacrament for James.  It has been three weeks since he was able to take it so he was very appreciative.  We always enjoy our home teachers!

After lunch James and I spent a quiet afternoon watching the clouds roll in outside, and watching the Walton's inside.  In one episode Olivia had an egg salad sandwich for lunch so that's what I fixed James and I for dinner.  Chuck Crane brought us some tomatoes that Kathy got from Sister Singleton.  The tomatoes were our side dish.

This evening I downloaded pictures and posted on my blog.  I am four weeks behind.

I went to bed early last night so I could get up at 4am and do my gospel study.  At 7am James and I started out on a walk.  He went about half a mile or so and was in so much pain he turned around after sitting on the ground for awhile and went back.  I went 3 miles.  I was tired and sore afterwards so I took a bath in the jacuzzi tub. 

James heard from our attorney in the Norquay lawsuit.  We mailed him a 6 page information sheet regarding the job we did for them on Monday.  James wrote it out and I did the typing.  After looking at it they are pretty sure we will be able to recover some of the money they owe us.  It was the first time the attorney has been so optimistic.  James spent several hours today sending him copies of emails between him and Norquay.

I tried to make a batch of cinnamon rolls but the yeast didn't rise.  I determined that I didn't get it hot enough.  The rolls were still good but they were more of the consistency of biscuits than rolls. 

James left to go home around 6pm.  He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow, he is working on cleaning off Nate's lot, and he needs to look at the pool.  There was a problem with it earlier in the week.  The pump went off.  Paul got it to working again but not before some algae grew.  He also needs to meet with Zaki about building his house.  I was sad when he left because he seemed sad and I could tell he didn't want to go. 

I was lonely this evening.
