This is where I went this morning with James and Kim. We made it to the 7:45 session. I love the Gilbert temple.
Nancy Tolman and Karen Bland, two Chandler friends, were in our session. I was Karen's visiting teacher for a long time. Right after Stacy had Adam Karen was adopting a little girl. She said they couldn't think of a name for her. I suggested the name Stacy had picked out for Adam if he was a girl, Devry. Karen loved the idea and that's the name she used. Devry was with her in the temple today and I got to meet her.
After our session when we went outside, I said I wanted someone to take our picture. Suddenly there was a brother with a nice camera. He said he would be glad to take our picture because he had been called as a missionary to do so. First he took a picture of us with his camera and then he took a couple with mine. We had to sign release forms saying it would be alright for the Church to use our picture if they wanted to.
A great way to start the day with people I love!
After the temple James and I went back to Cathi and Terry's and packed up our things to go home. We said our goodbye's and headed to Tempe to have a visit with Jared Ammon. We needed to talk to him about his car and his ability to make the payments. He assured James he would have money this Saturday for the payment.
Our next stop was Jack-in-the-Box for something to eat. We were late but we made it to Joshua's pinewood derby before they left. Joshua never lost a race and so obviously he got first place!
Way to go Joshua and of course, Paul.
One happy boy!
We said goodbye to Joshua, Stacy, Paul, and Kim and continued on our way to Rowan's and Evan's soccer game at Greenfield and Knox. We saw the last five or ten minutes of the game. I am sad I didn't get any pictures because the boys have purple jerseys!
Trina family was there and Trina was there with her kids. I guess Darrel had to work. Ian was also there with Evan. Sheri had to work too. I think the boys lost but I am still glad I got to see them play, even if it was for a short time.
We left for home from the soccer field. Since we were so close, we went home the Globe way. We were not hungry when we hit Miami so we did not stop at Burger House. Our trip home was pretty uneventful. I forgot and left our book at Cathi's, along with the snacks I had for us to eat on the way home.
We didn't watch any movies tonight, but prepared our lessons instead and began our fast.
I love President Uchtdorf!
