Family is Everything…
Today we went to our residential
hot-springs pool with Julie and Riggy.
It was so refreshing and relaxing.
This evening we watched the end
of "Lawrence of Arabia."
Lawrence of Arabia is a 1962 epic historical drama film based on the life of T. E. Lawrence. It was directed by David Lean and produced by Sam Spiegel through his British company Horizon Pictures and Columbia Pictures, with the screenplay by Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson and starring Peter O'Toole in the title role. The film, a British and American co-production, depicts Lawrence's experiences in the Ottoman Empire's provinces of Hejaz and Greater Syria during World War I, in particular his attacks on Aqaba and Damascus and his involvement in the Arab National Council. Its themes include Lawrence's emotional struggles with the personal violence inherent in war, his own identity, and his divided allegiance between his native Britain and its army, and his new-found comrades within the Arabian desert tribes. The film also stars Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Anthony Quinn, Omar Sharif, Anthony Quayle, Claude Rains, and Arthur Kennedy.
Lawrence of Arabia was nominated for ten Oscars at the 35th Academy Awards in 1963; it won seven in total, including Best Picture and Best Director. It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama and the BAFTA Awards for Best Film and Outstanding British Film. In the years since, it has been recognised as one of the greatest and most influential films in the history of cinema. The dramatic score by Maurice Jarre and the Super Panavision 70 cinematography by Freddie Young are also highly acclaimed. In 1991, Lawrence of Arabia was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the US Library of Congress National Film Registry. In 1998, the American Film Institute placed it 5th greatest American film on their 100 Years...100 Movies list, and 7th on their 2007 updated list. In 1999, the British Film Institute named the film the third-greatest British film of all time. It was voted among the 100 Greatest American Films by American Film Institute (AFI) in 1998. In 2004, it was voted the best British film of all time in a Sunday Telegraph poll of Britain's leading filmmakers.

Family is Everything…
Marci helped Walt start his day.
I got my bottom left wisdom
tooth pulled out today.
It had a cavity and my dentist,
Dr. Greenwood, recommended
that I have it pulled out.
"It should have come out years ago,"
is actually what he said.
So he referred me to an Oral Surgeon,
Dr. Jared Rasmussen.
Walt gave me a husband's priesthood
blessing before we went, because
he knew how much I was
dreading it.
One reason Dr. Greenwood referred me
to someone else and didn't just
pull the wisdom tooth out himself
is because I have such a bad gag
reflex that the x-ray tech could
hardly get the apparatus in
that far back to take the x-ray.
Everything went smoothly and
I attribute to not only a
great Oral Surgeon who
is not only a DMD, but an MD,
but also a great priesthood
blessing from my husband!
(Julie will send me the
photo she took of me.)

Family is Everything...
Surprisingly, I have not had to
take a pain pill. I slept okay.
I have not bled very much.
Today I'm following the
"Post Surgery Instructions"
to Rinse in 1 tsp salt mixed
into 12 oz of warm water
for 30 seconds - 3 to 4 times a day.
Then I also have a prescription
mouth wash for twice a day.
Amoxicillin 500 MG 3x a dayuntil the 21 quantity is gone.
I'm thankful for the
Priesthood blessing Walt gave me,
and for a great Oral Surgeon.

We went to the Club House
to bicycle.
A nice fellow took
our photo.
It's 82 degrees today.
As we drove away,
Walt said: "Let's go see
the temple site."
He thought someone said they
were starting to clear the land,
but I reminded him that that
won't happen until they have
the Temple Groundbreaking.
Gary came for movie night.

We chose Westerns for June,
so we watched
"The Magnificent Seven"
from 1960.
The Magnificent Seven is a 1960 American Western film directed by John Sturgesand starring Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, James Coburn and Horst Buchholz. The film is an Old West–style remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 Japanese film Seven Samurai. Brynner, McQueen, Bronson, Vaughn, Dexter, Coburn and Buchholz portray the title characters, a group of seven gunfighters hired to protect a small village in Mexico from a group of marauding bandits (whose leader is played by Wallach). The film's musical score was composed by Elmer Bernstein. In 2013, the film was selected for the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

My
I had an appointment this morning
before our block, for my
temple recommend interview.
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 16th,
we pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
We share these truths as our testimony to you...
Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment.
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
*** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration. He is the Restorer of all things.
*** *** ***
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world.
*** *** ***
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
*** *** ***
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
*** *** ***
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.

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