Provo City Center, Utah 
150th operating temple
Dedicated: 20 Mar 2016
By: Dallin H. Oaks

Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
2 Nephi 25:16
And after they have been scattered, and the Lord God hath scourged them by other nations for the space of many generations, yea, even down from generation to generation until they shall be persuaded to believe in Christ, the Son of God, and the atonement, which is infinite for all mankind - and when that day shall come that they shall believe in Christ, and worship the Father in his name, with pure hearts and clean hands, and look not forward any more for another Messiah, then, at that time, the day will come that it must needs be expedient that they should believe these things.
Book of Mormon
Mosiah 10:1-22
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Matthew 22:1-14; 24; 25:1-13


General Conference
Where Will This Lead?
Dallin H. Oaks
"We make better choices and decisions if we look at the alternatives and ponder where they will lead."

A little moisture last night and this morning. I guess it was enough to make the roads muddy because when James went to the post office he took the truck. I worked a couple of hours paying bills before he left so he could mail them.

I had some canned chicken noodle soup for lunch and put some of the sweet chili sauce that I got from Mountain Thai in it. It was spicy good. 

James worked on income taxes again today. I inventoried the five books he brought back from the post office and I bought three more. We have decided not to buy any more until we sell some of the newer ones we bought in the last couple of weeks. 

I blogged, and walked, and cooked some chicken in the crockpot with salsa. When it was finished I shredded it and made myself a tasty chicken burro. James had his with corn chips and cheese. 

I got a sweet email from a sister in our ward that really made my day. Here it is:


This sister gives more community service than anyone I know. She is the president of the park, runs the community food bank and is involved in the Vernon's Women's Club. If you need some service done, Paula will be there to help. She is pretty amazing.

I just heard that Evans Farnsworth is undergoing surgery for lung cancer. His wife Terry was my secretary when I served as the Stake Relief Society Presidency. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this most difficult time.

Monte is doing better and even got to eat some Jello today, the first thing he has eaten in two months. Hopefully he will get to go home in a couple of days.

There was an unwanted critter in the pantry this evening. James told me he would see to it that he was not made to feel welcome.


 The Arnett's: A.J., Anthony, Wendy, Danny, Chea, Kathy, Channy, Heidi, Casey, Jackie, Pierce, Cliff Jr., or Boggs is the only one missing. He left early from the funeral.

General Conference
"Now Is The Time"
Jack N. Gerard
"As we step back from the world and assess our lives, now is the time to consider what changes we need to make. We can take great hope in knowing that our Exemplar, Jesus Christ, has once again led the way. Prior to His death and Resurrection, as He was laboring to help those around Him understand His divine role, He reminded them 'that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world' (John 16:33)."

A couple of quotes I came across today:
"When we offer our whole souls to the Savior, the abundant power and grace of His Atonement will more than compensate for our shortcomings." - J. Devin Cornish

"Don't worry about Christ running out of ability to help you. His grace is sufficient. That is the spiritual, eternal lesson of the feeding of the 5,000." - Jeffrey R. Holland

My friend and family history expert extraordinaire came over to help me with  Catherine Halcomb's family records. I am helping Catherine through the consultant planner on familysearch.
She has some duplicate records of the same person and I do not know how to merge them. James came in from working on the road so he could learn from Maxine too. 
We not only merged the female duplicate record but we merged Catherine's husband's record which also had a duplicate. 

Maxine helped me make a plan for Catherine and we made an appointment to visit her on Tuesday. We have some questions on a marriage record that she will probably be able to answer. I like doing family history when I have someone like Maxine as my partner.

James had to go to town again today. This time he went to Snowflake to get temple clothes. He also went to Show Low to pick up parts for his skidsteer. He lost some bolts while working on the road. I stayed home to do my "things."

I read several chapters from our book to make up for not going with James to town today. 

Tomorrow is our last day to work in the temple until April 27th,   because the temple will be closed for two weeks beginning April 1st.
