Jared got to go to the Gilbert temple this morning.
Alma 44:16-45:14
16 - Zerahemnah is angry and stirs up his soldiers to contend against the Nephites.
17 - Moroni commands his people to fight back.
18 - The Lamanites because of their bare skins fall fast before the Nephites.
19 - Zerahemnah cries that if their lives are spared they never will come to war again.
20 - Moroni stops the work of death. He takes the Lamanites weapons and after they enter in to a covenant of peace, they enter into the wilderness.
21 - The number of the dead on both sides was so great they weren't numbered.
22 - The dead were buried in the waters of Sidon and carried out to sea.
23 - Moroni's army returns home.
24 - Thus ended the 18th year and the record of Alma.
Alma 45
The record of Helaman comprises Alma 45-62.
1 - The Nephites give thanks unto their Lord for their delivery. 1) Give thanks 2) fast and pray 3) worship God with great joy.
2 - Alma interviews Helaman as to his worthiness to keep the records and promises him he will prosper in the land if he keeps the commandments.
7 - Helaman to his father: Yea, I will kee the commandments with all my heart. (Doesn't every parent want to hear these words?)

I looked outside and saw two bunnies chasing each other around a pine tree. This is why I love living here.
I am thankful for my phone for many reasons:
It has my gospel library which I use every day. I have a banking app, and a weather app, a music store and a music player, I store my pictures on my phone, and books I want to read. What did I ever do without it?
While going through a box today I found James's BYU Leadership Scholarship. It was worth $180. My how times have changed.
I vacuumed, dusted, and vacuumed the family room couch today in preparation for company. I also mopped the kitchen and dining room floor. The house is ready and so am I!
I read from Fablehaven book 2, The Rise of the Evening Star, and The Seven Miracles that Saved America, and The Seven Tipping Points that Saved the World.
In the early afternoon I made a trip to town. My first stop was at my brother Dennis's house to drop off the book "The Washington Hypothesis." Vickie called to me as I was getting out of my car from the woodworking shop she and Harold have in their backyard. She is becoming more involved in the business. She gave me this for my birthday.

Harold does the wood and Vickie does the decorating.
They make a good team.
After visiting with my brothers and Vickie I headed for Walmart to buy some groceries. Jared arrived at the cabin with his kids and Anna's friend Joe just before I did and James and Alex, Seth, and Adam were right behind me. Jared said he wasn't able to stop for groceries because his car was filled with groceries and people so I am glad I bought burgers and fries for dinner.
The first thing his kids wanted to do was go for Razr rides. It was raining and muddy and we warned them they would get soaked, which they did. When they returned everyone headed for the showers. I am surprised we had enough water pressure.
Jared cooked the burgers for dinner. Everyone ate and then settled down for the evening. Jared and his kids watched a movie.
James and I went to bed a little after nine.
Alex took a picture of this gorgeous sunset.
I took one too, but it was not nearly this beautiful.
This was taken from his parents bedroom deck.
Since today it Throwback Thursday I thought I would share some old pictures:
I left these two watching hummingbirds while I went to Walmart.
When I returned Joshua said: Gramma, I was bored so grampa took
me for a ride on the Razr. Someone is in trouble.
Rowan's Harry Potter wand.

These pictures were taken two years ago.
A cute picture of a cute couple.
