The best part of the morning.

I studied the Sunday School lesson covering chapters 31-33 in 2nd Nephi.  The purpose of the lesson is to help class members understand "the doctrine of Christ."  I love reading these chapters because it outlines in a nutshell what we need to do to return to Heavenly Father.  I especially love 2 Nephi 31:20:

"Wherefore ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all en  Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."

I moved five boxes from the garage and labeled them. James moved them upstairs for them where they will be in storage until I have a chance to unload them.  The goal right now is to get them out of the garage.  I still have lots of pictures to hang too.

James and I made a trip to town today.  On the way home we finished our book, "Refuge at Highland Hall."  What to read next? Jared recommends "The Chronicles of Narnia".  Maybe I will order them off of Amazon this week.  

We had lunch at Grumpy Jake's.  I had my usual green chili cheeseburger and fries and James had a chicken pot pie.  I can never finish my meal, but James is always there to help.

I did some shopping at Walmart while James went to Home Depot, the gas station, and to Sonic to get me a drink.  I got some new pants and shoes.  Walmart definitely is a one stop shopping experience, at least for me. 

Show Low Walmart sign.

This afternoon James cleaned up the branches he cut on Friday.  Now my view off my bedroom deck is restored.

Hello little bird.

I watched "Chopped Junior" while I was working on my Primary lesson this evening.  These kids can really cook!

James and I watched a show we had seen before, although James says he has never seen it, called, "Loving Leah".  It's about a Jewish rabbi who dies and his brother, who is not a practicing Jew, is obligated to marry his widow or deny his brother's existence.  It is a heart-warming story and now it is one of our favorites.

I sent this handout along with a box

of gummy Lifesavers to the grandkids

in the valley.  James took them when

he left this morning.

"We increase in spiritual power with each covenant we make with God." - April 2014 Ensign, p. 33

"Making and keeping our covenants is an expression of our commitment to become like the Savior."

Tax day.  We are late again.  James left this morning for the valley after our family prayer.  

I love bofm365 on Instagram.  As I was listening to a BYU Devotional today I was prompted to add study the hymns to my morning devotional time.  

I carried five boxes from the basement to upstairs today.  All boxes need to come upstairs in order to make more room downstairs for years supply items.  It was a nice little workout for me.  

I polished the wood floor in the family/living room using the Shark Duo Sonic.  It looks so nice.  It's supposed to last two months.  Let's hope so.  I listened to the General Women's Meeting while I was working.  I read from my two books for the month, Suit Up and Blackmoore.  One is spiritual and one if just for fun.  

This afternoon I visited Linda Diewald in the capacity of her visiting teacher and as her friend.  I gave her this handout.

It says: 

Somebunny loves you!

Happy Easter

Your visiting teachers

"Be faithful and diligent in keeping the commandments of God, and I will encircle thee in the arms of my love"

-D&C 6:20

 

Linda and her husband Jim are getting ready to go to the valley to participate in the endowment of their grandson who is soon to leave on a mission.  I told them how blessed they were to have a grandson going on a mission.  

 

James had a bit of a frustrating day at the Yoshimine's but I am confident in his ability to get the job done.

I paid bills today and then watched a little TV.  I watched The Voice, Granite Flats, and DWTS.  

 

I talked on the phone today to my friend Charlotte Mattice. The other day she fell and couldn't get up.  She called her daughter but she didn't call back for six hours.  Charlotte lie on the floor by herself for six hours!  

 

Trina texted me that she loved the Easter beans and thanked me for feeding and taking care of her family on Saturday.  It made me feel good.

Love this!
