Week #22, 8 - 14 May 2017

Monday began with our shift in the baptistry.  We had a few patrons and then did more training with our team.  We have three couples a sister assigned to our team.  They say the summer will be very busy.  We were off to Burlington for a check up with the dermatologist and Dad had the moles behind his ears frozen and one shaved off a shoulder.

Tuesday we headed to Peoria, IL to the Lexus dealer as the brake malfunction warning has continued to come on in the car with Bob trouble shooting it with various methods.  The problem was assessed and the part needed determined.  It was very pricy and they said we could get the part ourselves and they would install it.  We called Jared and he got it at a considerable reduction in price.  Yea Jared!   We did get a car wash and mints out of the deal.

While waiting for the testing to be done we were taken to LePeep, where we heard they were great for breakfast.  As you can see, Dad was very happy with his Lumberjack!

On the way home we liked this sign. . . . . .

and this sign.  We were surprised to see Hanna's name spelled like she spells it.

Wednesday morning we headed to Fort Madison where Dr Reynolds removed a chilazion and a palpilloma from my left lower eyelid.  It was amazing how quickly and efficiently he performed the task and we were back home in no time.  I wore the patch for four hours and slept the rest of the morning.

We worked on the scanning project on Thursday and then were back in the temple in the afternoon.  We had two days off and it was nice to have the break.  Friday was another day in the temple as well as Saturday evening.  I had my class with Sister Swing and learned more in using family search.

We took a stroll one evening and got a couple of pictures of the temple and one of the sun setting.

So here we are to Mother's Day.  We both reflected on our mothers and their love for us.

After reviewing tons of photos, it was hard to pick one.  Mom was always therr to hlep and support us.  Here she is holding Jared as we bring him home from the hospital.  She would have driven to Yuma by herself in her VW beetle probably at 80 miles per hour.  The Lord always looked after her.  She helped so many we know she has a special place with God.  Love you, Mom!  Bob

To my mother: She was always there for me and taught me life skills which included the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many are the memories of her loving and serving me. Happy Mother's Day!  Barbara

Temple Fact:
The main hall in its finished state in 1846, resembled in many respects the assembly room in the Kirtland Temple.  It exhibited an extraordinary degree of craftsmanship and originality and seats were provided for the accommodation of thirty-five hundred people.  The assembly room in the current temple is not this large.
