"Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally."
-line 7 The Proclamation to the World
I received happy Mother's Day messages from Stacy, Kim, Brian, Sheri, Jared, Trina and Darrel. James wrote me a note and made me a 'french toast' waffle for breakfast. It was a nice way to start the day.
The speakers in sacrament meeting were: Trenda Wilhelm, Mary Carroll, and Lannie Gillespie. Afterwards the Relief Society distributed a cute handout with a quote about mothers and chocolate. I knew Kaeli would come through for us with the chocolate. Kaeli is a friend who was just made Relief Society president.
The title of our Sunday School lesson from the Old Testament was "Look to God and Live." All those Israelites had to do to be healed was to look at Moses' rod, but they wouldn't.
In Young Women Randa Covert gave a lesson on personal revelation. I got a mothers day card from my dear friend Analee Hunsaker.
James made me a wonderful mother's day lunch: steak, baked potato, asparagus, corn on the cob, and chocolate covered strawberries. After such a wonderful meal I needed a nap!

Interesting style
Not sure if Evan is reading or sleeping
Love these broc-collies!
For FHE tonight James and I studied together from Preach My Gospel. We started with the lesson: Message of the Restoration. We will continue on, week to week. We have gotten away from doing FHE's and I told James we needed to start up again.
We both talked to James's mom, Lois on the phone today. I thanked her for being such a great mom to me since my mom had passed away. James is taking her dinner on Tuesday.
It was a wonderful day!
