Independence, Missouri, is the place for the City of Zion and the temple; The Saints are to purchase lands and receive inheritances in that area; Sidney Gilbert is to establish a store, William W. Phelps is to be a printer, and Oliver Cowdery is to edit material for publication.

"May we recalculate our route if need be and look forward with great hope and faith. My we 'stand up inside' by being valiant and 'all in.'"

Cathi and Terry!
We gave them gift cards to
Outback because we know they
love steak.
James had an appointment this morning at the dentist's office to get some fillings fixed. When he got home we went to lunch at Chili's because we had a couple of gift cards. This was my lunch:
It was quite delicious only I would have preferred
to have the steak and shrimp without the sauce.
This afternoon while James was working at Sal's I made these little critters:
Bunny's made out of safety pops!
James is really complaining about his tooth hurting. Cathi gave him some oil of cloves but he is still in alot of pain. He left a message with Dr. Douglas but I told him she is not in her office on Friday.
We went to visit our friend Zaki this afternoon. He and his wife had twins, a boy and a girl 15 months ago and we have never seen them.
They are quite shy because they just aren't
around other people very much.
Zakia, the little girl
Zachariah, the little boy
I don't think Zakia like me very well.
Our friends from Chandler, Mike and Adrienne just became
grandparents on April 8th.

As part of my gospel study today I read about the last week of the Savior's life. Here is a picture of His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem painted by LDS artist Minerva Teichart.
We are friends with Minerva's granddaughter
Trudy.
According to Brother Eric D. Huntsman the final week of the Savior's life went something like this:
1. The Anointing at Bethany by Mary.
2. The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem.
3. The Cleansing of the Temple and the Cursing of the Fig Tree.
4. Teaching in the Temple.
5. The Olivet Discourse.
6. The Last Supper.
7. Gethsemane
8. The Death of the Lamb of God.
9. The Empty Tomb and the Risen Lord.
