We were in Kona in 1998 and had no idea they were building a
temple there.

2 Nephi 16:5
Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.
Helaman 16:9-25
*Why is it dangerous to depend on your own strength and on your own wisdom?
Michael: "Man is foolish and when we choose to depend on our own thoughts before the scriptures we often find 'reasons' to exempt ourselves from commandments. It's like a slow but dangerous road to becoming an apostate.
Sheri: "It's justification for unrighteous behavior."

DC 18:15-16
15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!

The Needs Before Us

"Some of the most significant needs we can meet are within our own families, among our friends, in our wards, and in our communities."
Each month in the Ensign there is an article about teaching in the Savior's way. Today's was entitled, "An Elephant in the Classroom."

For his second breakfast he had this:

We made another trip to town today. We stopped at LaCasita for lunch. I had the green Navajo taco. It was good but I should have order my chicken taco with refried beans. Tried and true are best.
We ordered some refried beans to take home. I am making chicken enchiladas tomorrow for Ian and Sheri and the beans will go well with them.
We also went to Walmart and Home Depot. My thyroid is on back order. I can't be without thyroid so James called Dr. Moffat for me and he called in an order for Levothyroxin. It doesn't have T4 like the Naturethroid, but it's better than nothing. We had already left before it was filled so I will have to come back tomorrow.
I read from "Petticoat Spy" coming and going. It's about the Revolutionary war. James is really getting in to it.
I cleaned upstairs for awhile but since Sheri and Ian aren't coming until tomorrow afternoon I stopped and will finish in the morning.
I came downstairs and wrote my talk for the third time.
I got my 10,000 steps in.
Scarlett Jane Child was born today.

Addy had a concert last night. She forgot to tell me.
Memories on this date:
I get these from my computer photo file.
Ruby and I got our ears pierced, again.
I promised I would hold her hands.
She held mine too.
While she was waiting Lola picked out
something that she liked.
