Guess where we went this morning?
On the way to the temple we listened to a conference talk and read our scriptures. I also quoted my ponderize scripture, Mosiah 4:12, my eight sentences from the Family Proclamation and the Living Christ. It got us in the mood for the temple. The conference talk we listened to was Elder's Gong's "Always Remember Him." I felt the Spirit just saying the title.
I love these bushes. They are all over the temple grounds.
Alma 22:1-14
1 - Aaron was led by the Spirit to the land of Nephi, to the house of the king.
2 - We are the brethren of Ammon whom thou hast delivered out of prison. I guess his friends went with him.
3 - . . . we will be thy servants . . . the king wants to know why Ammon didn't come.
4 - . . . the Spirit of the Lord called him another way. He went to Ishmael to teach the people of Lamoni.
5 - King: What is the Spirit of the Lord?
6 - The king also ask about repentance.
7 - Aaron: Believest thou that there is a God? . . . if thou sayest there is a God, behold, I will believe.
8 - Behold, assuredly as thou livest, O king, there is a God.
9 - Is God the Great Spirit that brought our fathers out of Jerusalem?
10 - Yes and He created all things in heaven and earth.
11 - I believe the Great Spirit created all things. Tell me concerning all these things and I will believe thy words.
12 - Aaron began from the creation of Adam how God created man after his own image, and that because of transgression, man had fallen.
13 - Creation - Fall - and the Atonement taught.
14 - also the Resurrection.
There is a dead cow elk on the side of the road between Taylor and Shumway. I want to stop and take pictures next time. Shumway is so beautiful and green. James called it Silver Creek Valley.
After the temple we did some shopping at the Walmart in Taylor. Afterwards we had lunch at Sonic. I had a cheeseburger. James had a hamburger and a New York dog. I ate a couple of bites of James's hotdog, but was just too full to eat anymore.
I baked cookies this afternoon to take to the kids in my Primary class who never come. While I was baking James went to the ward party and got me a Navajo taco. It was delicious, one of the best that I have ever had. He also stopped at the post office and got our church magazines and a check for the Desert Highlands job. Thanks Honey!
I got a call from Sheri today and texts from Alex, Michael, Kim, Trina, and Stacy. I sure do love my family! Oh yes, Jared made it to Arizona with his kids.
I was pretty tired after baking cookies all afternoon so James and I went to bed pretty early.
I have been having nightmares again. I had them last night and again tonight. The sad thing is that James can't get any sleep because I wake him up shouting out that someone is in the room.
I wish I knew why I do this so I could stop it.
Guess who lost a tooth today?
Miss Ruby!
