Denver, Colorado
40th operating temple
Dedicated: 24 Oct 1986
By: Ezra Taft Benson

Jesus Christ, Head of Church
Ephesians 1:22
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Book of Mormon
Mormon 4:1-23
New Testament
James 4; 2:1-9 As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I should love all people, regardless of their circumstances.SS: James 3 The words we use have the power to hurt or bless others.


10/19 General Conference
"The Savior's Touch"
Elder Walter F. Gonzalez
"Much like the leper, we can find strength and comfort in this life by accepting His will and knowing that He wants to bless us. We can find the strength to face any challenge, to overcome temptations, and to understand and endure our difficult circumstances. Surely, in one of the most crushing moments of His life, the Savior's strength to endure was deepened as He said to His Father, 'Thy will be done.'"

I read something on my blog from February 9, 2018 that I want to share again: "While reading and studying 2 Nephi 2 I came across this quote in a study guide I am using by Brother Eldin Ricks:
'In Lehi's inspired and profound discourse that comprises chapter 2 we find the theological and philosophical core of the Book of Mormon. Within the limits of this single treatise the prophet explains (a) the hopelessness of man's plight without a Redeemer, v.5 (b) man's dependence upon Christ for his salvation, vs.6-9, (c) the legal demands of divine justice, v.10 (d) the reason for God's allowing evil in the world, vs. 10-13 (e) the story of the fall of Adam and its purpose in opening the doorway to man's mortality in the midst of good and evil, vs. 14-25, (f) man's freedom to attain Eternal Life through the redemption of Christ, vs. 26-29.'"

I love going back and looking at old journal entries and reliving what I've done in the past.

RWC: "By becoming part of the holy order in the premortal world, we entered into a covenant to become Savior's on Mt. Zion to the entire human family, starting with our own families." (p.74)

It snowed off and on today, nothing like the four inches we got yesterday. I made a big breakfast this morning. Hashbrowns, sausage and eggs. It was quite good. And James was probably shocked that I fixed breakfast.

James and I finished the book, "Aunt Dimity Detective," and started the book, "Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday." I am still reading "Aunt Dimity Goes West."

I got my book shipment ready to mail. Sixteen books at around 47 lbs. James lifted the box and carried it to the car. I can't stop the man. Hopefully it's okay that he's lifting again.

A notary came to our house today so we could sign papers for the closing of our loan. Her name was Peggy Orth. We are so grateful that this closing is finally taking place. Now I wonder how long it will take for us to get our money.

James spoke with Dr. Memon today about the medical mall he has plans to build in Chandler. I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever happen.

Tomorrow is our temple day. I did not have to bake rolls as I had some left over from our Thanksgiving meal in the freezer. I took them out. I am taking some of Kathy Crane's blackberry jalapeno jam along with some strawberry jam to go with the rolls tomorrow.

 This was a video. Kacey asked her if she wanted her
to read a book. Charlie's reply: "Yes" in the cutest
little voice ever!

 James trying to fix the heater to put out in
the pump house. He succeeded!



So very sad.


Joshua is starring in "A Christmas Carol" at his school on
December 3rd. He is going to play Scrooge. His teacher asked if anyone had any old looking quilts they could use. I sent Stacy these
pictures and told her I could bring them down the day of the play.




My "Nannie" made this one.

Taipei, Taiwan
31st operating temple
Dedicated: 17-18 Nov 1984
By: Gordon B. Hinckley

Jesus Christ
DC 84:32
And the sons of Moses and of Aaron shall be filled with the glory of the Lord, upon Mount Zion in the Lord's house whose sons are ye; and also many whom I have called and sent forth to build up my church.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 28:1-24
New Testament
Hebrews 10; 9:1-10:22 Ancient and modern ordinances point to Jesus Christ. SS: 10:34-38; 11 Faith requires trusting in God's promises.

10/19 General Conference
"Standing By Our Promises and Covenants"
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
"Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our great Exemplar when it comes to making and keeping promises and covenants. He came to earth promising to do the will of the Father. He taught gospel principles in word and in deed. He atoned for our sins that we might live again. He has honored every one of His promises."


I started a new Aunt Dimity book today. It's called "Aunt Dimity Goes West" and it's the same day that Jared, Kacey, and Charlie are coming out west to see us. I hope Charlie is okay on the plane.
James and I are reading, "Aunt Dimity Detective."

James went to the post office, the dump, and Dollar General today. 
I listened to the Scripture Study podcast. Jared, Kacey, and Charlie arrived in Mesa. Kacey sent me a picture of Charlie and Lola together.

Such cute girls!

James was on the roof working today. His ladder fell and he spilled stain all over the roof. Luckily he was not hurt. 

I worked on my book shipment today and got it all ready to mail. This time I am mailing 16 book and the box weighs 47 lbs. James lifted it and carried it out to the car when I wasn't looking. He's not supposed to be doing heavy lifting, although it has been 4 weeks since his surgery.

I listened to a podcast today featuring Sheri Dew. She told about having a "broken heart" when her fiance broke up with her when she was in her 30's. She said reading Brother Bruce C. Hafen's book, "A Broken Heart," really helped her. I like this question that Sheri Dew asks: "How much light and godly power do I want in my life and what am I willing to do to get it?

Day 3: Provision. Phillipians 4:19 - God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
There is an abundant storehouse of riches found in Jesus Christ. We don't have if we don't ask. Ask, Seek, Knock.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please give Max the things he needs today and use me as an agent for thee. Please supply my needs as I try to supply his needs.

is working on.



My heart goes out to Randy and
his family.
