Family is Everything...
Gary helped fix some computer
glitches for me.

 we always love being with Gary.
 we enjoy our movie nights together.

For this Wednesday night movie with Gary
we ended our June theme of
Westerns by watching 
The Cowboys
from 1972 starring John Wayne.


The Cowboys is a 1972 American western film starring John Wayne, Roscoe Lee Browne, Slim Pickens, Colleen Dewhurst, and Bruce Dern. Robert Carradine made his film debut with fellow child actor Stephen Hudis as cowboys. It was filmed at various locations in New Mexico, Colorado, and at Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California. Based on the novel by William Dale Jennings...

The film is also infamous for being one of the very few in which John Wayne’s character is killed, and the only one where he is killed by the main antagonist.

bicycling for 15 minutes today.
 It's also exercise just walking

drove into our parking spot by
the side of the house.
They are true buddies.

We are so thankful for The Plan of Salvation
and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ
that makes this Great Plan operational.

At the end of this June  30th,
we pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...

We share the testimony of our Prophet 
with you tonight...
"These are truths that open the heavens and allow us to draw upon the power of God. These are truths that will lead to blessings and happiness here and to “never-ending happiness” in the world to come. These seven truths are:



1. God is our Father.
2. Jesus Christ is our Savior.

3. We are children of God.

4. The Book of Mormon is the word of God.

5. The priesthood has been restored and the heavens are open.

6. Every member has a role to play in the gathering of Israel.

7. Joy comes from keeping the commandments of the Lord.

I pray that each of us will internalize these truths. I bless you to feast on the words of the Lord Jesus Christ and apply His teachings in your lives. As you spend time in the scriptures and in the temple, I bless you with increased capacity to receive revelation. I bless you with love at home.
--Russell M. Nelson"

Of these truths we also testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
