Carly Elmer drowned 21 years ago today. She would have been 4 a few days after she drowned. Here is a picture of her sister Chelsea and Chelsea's boys at Carly's gravesite.

Alma 13:21-14:5
21 . . . Now is the time to repent, for the day of salvation draweth nigh.
23 - . . . glad tidings are declared unto us . . .
24 - . . . angels are declaring it unto many, .. . . this is for the purpose of preparing the hearts of the children of men to receive His word at the time of His coming in His glory.
26 - It shall be made known unto just and holy men, by the outh of angels, at the time of His coming . . .
27 - . . . I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain, that ye would hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins and not procrastinate the day of your repentance.
28 - But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on His holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering.
29 - Having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into His rest.
30 - And may the Lord grant unto you repentance, that ye may not bring down His wrath upon you, that ye may not be bound down by the chains of hell, that we may not suffer the second death.
Trina came and picked up Addy and Ruby this morning before nine because Ruby had cheerleading practice. I wonder who she cheers for.
James left for awhile this morning but was back quite early. We spent some quiet time alone at the resort. I washed the sheets on the guest bed and washed towels while I was studying. Around 3pm I left to buy birthday cards and some other commodities at Fry's. I came back and cleaned until our guests arrived.
Kim, Brian and Joe were the first to arrive. We had invited them over to play games. Soon after Paul, Stacy, Michael and Joshua arrived. Michael brought his ukulele and Joe brought his guitar. They sang a few songs and sounded really great. I forgot how good they harmonize and what great voices they have. Such talent!
I love to hear these two sing together!
James and Kim enjoying the music.
Visiting between performances.
After the performance Kim, Brian, James, Joe,
Michael and I played a game of Five Crowns.
Paul ordered pizza and wings for his family.
Stacy took Joshua to swim until the lightning
scared them back inside.
When Joe, Kim, and Brian left I helped Michael and Joshua make up their beds on the two couches and then said goodnight.
It was a fun evening.
