Everyone had a rock on their chair.
Camie invited each one to write one
thing they were willing to sacrifice
to help their family on the other side
of the veil receive their temple blessings
that Christ, our Rock, has made possible
for us. I wrote Christ on the front, and
on the back what I would sacrifice.
Some of the students who came to Institute
today: Carol, then our teacher Camie,
Hiroko, Bob, Eileen.
The roses have been nice to have 
in the window this week.

I couldn't find my mail-in ballot, so...

Family is Everything…
Ladies' Lunch is at Sabaidee Thai Cuisine in Lehi
  
The 9 who could come today: Clockwise--
Tammy, Eileen, Linda, Sharon, Jeanie,
Stephanie, Kathie, Sue, Judy.
Lunch
 Some ordered this Pineapple Curry, others ordered the Massaman Curry, some the Sweet 'n Sour Chicken, some the Shrimp. Everyone said their food was delicious. So it was worth driving to this kind of out-of-the-way place north and west of the Lehi Costco at 250 W State Street.
Tammy, Eileen
Linda, Sharon, Jeanie

Linda, Sue, Eileen, Tammy, Stephanie,
Jeanie, Sharon, Kathie.
Judy, who started Lunch Bunch in April 2018, is moving to 
Washington just out of St. George on Nov. 13.
Tammy is hosting an open house for her on Monday, Nov. 8, at 7:00 p.m.
I think most everyone knows where Tammy and Mark's home is.
This is for couples and children. Optional: Bring a plate of treats or finger foods. Judy is going to bring some of Cliff's paintings, and at 7:45 she will talk about them. Cliff was an art instructor at BYU. He passed away on August 21. We will miss Judy here. She will be 12 minutes from her daughter. And closer to her son who lives in Reno. Thanks for organizing all those lunches, Judy.
Looks like the Indian Summer is lasting into next week.
Brian and Jennifer sent these beautiful wind chimes to John and Julie in remembrance of John's father, Brent Peterson.

Family is Everything…
For our Wednesday night movie, 
Nov 3, 2021
chose "Hotel Transylvania" from 2012
A lot of people liked it...box office was over $358 million.
Budget$85 million[7]
Box office$358.4 million[7]
However, Gary didn't come over because he broke his ankle this morning playing pickle ball. He said he could tell when he fell and rolled on it that it was more than a sprained ankle. He called his sister Julie, who drove over to the Pleasant Grove Rec Center and took him to InstaCare where the x-ray showed it was definitely broken.
Gary just leaving the Insta Care.
Amy came from Salt Lake City and drove him home, then with Julie they got his SUV from the Rec Center and drove it back to his place. Then Amy took him to the Orthopedic surgeon in the afternoon who said it would need a plate put in it next Tuesday, 
after the swelling goes down sufficiently.
Amy brought him in some supper, 
then watched our Wed night movie with him. 
Photo below: Ready to watch movie with ankle elevated and popcorn.

Julie and John heading to St. George.
Tomorrow is their 22nd Wedding Anniversary.
Amy drove Gary and me to the Pleasant Grove
High School fall musical: "Little Women"
Isaac is the prop master for it.
I didn't know "Little Women" had been made into
a musical. The music was wonderful. It's hard for
me to understand words to songs I haven't
heard before. But the orchestra and
the singers were excellent!
Gary just got this scooter today so
he can get around easier than on crutches.
Isaac came out to greet us after the play.
Yes, he is that much taller than his Dad!

 Fast & Testimony Meeting for
Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward
8 Testimonies were shared by: Bishop Roger Cheney, 

Julia Witham taught Doctrine and Covenants
125-134 today.
Loved her emphasis on D&C 133...
"What are you going to do to strengthen 
both you and your children's testimonies?"
so the following can be achieved:
"And unto him that repenteth and sanctifieth 
himself before the Lord shall be given 
ETENAL LIFE."
Doctrine and Covenants 133:62
I did a little family history tonight
on familysearch.org
Daily Scripture: For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. - Romans 14:9
Daily Quote: God, in His infinite capacity, seals and heals individuals and families despite tragedy, loss, and hardship. When we gather our family histories and go to the temple on behalf of our ancestors, God fulfills promised blessings simultaneously on both sides of the veil. - Dale G. Renlund
I love any quote about our Heavenly Mother:
*** *** *** *** *** *** ***


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

At the end of this November 7th,
I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
Daily Scripture: And again, verily I say unto you, I command you again to build a house to my name, even in this place, that you may prove yourselves unto me that ye are faithful in all things whatsoever I command you, that I may bless you, and crown you with honor, immortality, and eternal life. - Doctrine and Covenants 124:55
Daily Quote: The fundamental obligations that rest upon us as members of the Lord’s restored Church are (1) to “Hear Him!” and have our own hearts changed through covenants and ordinances and (2) to fulfill joyfully the divinely appointed responsibility to offer temple blessings to the entire human family on both sides of the veil. With the Lord’s direction and help, indeed we will fulfill these sacred duties. - David A. Bednar

I share these truths as my 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.
