I was up early to finish my soap handouts for young women. I like how they turned out. I decided to only make 10 instead of 12. I normally have 7 girls but because it is a holiday weekend I planned for extras.
This side lists the Steps of Repentance
I should have made all 12 because I had 12 girls.
Even though Alex forgot his Sunday clothes and we forgot yesterday to get them from Sheri, he went to sacrament meeting. I was glad. It was a wonderful meeting. The fullest I have ever seen the Vernon ward. We were clear back into the second overflow. Spencer, the DeWitt's grandson, and famous from the video "Dayton's Legs", bore his testimony. He told about carrying his friend Dayton down in to the bottom of the grand canyon. Last time he took him with him when he did a triathalon.
Four of my young women bore their testimonies, Shelly, Jordyn, Trenda, and LeAnn, so I bore my testimony too.
I fasted this afternoon. James forgot and ate this morning. We fasted for Dallin and for work. I heard from my good friend Karen Schneider that Dallin bore a powerful testimony today. Maybe our prayers for him are being answered.
For dinner we had grilled steak, corn on the cob, salad, rice pilaf, and Texas toast. It was wonderful and such good company too.
After dinner we had FHE. James told the life history of his grandpa Lambson, Frank Bates Lambson. The boys were impressed with some of the things he did at their age, like herding sheep 200 miles, moving houses, and shoveling thousands of pounds of coal. They thought it was funny when he lassoed his future wife, Annie Laurie Mangum, at a party. And when he proposed to her he told her he already had their "cage" built. They married and had 13 children, 12 that lived to adulthood. I remember him having a wooden leg, playing the harmonica, and loving to play chinese checkers. After the Lambson stories we watched the video "Dayton's Legs." It was a nice evening.
