Sister Bingham called, I am to meet with Brother and Sister Rosemary Wixom in the Salt Lake Temple, on August 23rd at 4:30pm. I was to enter the Temple on the east side and go straight back to the desk. My friend Jeanene Hamatake was there working where the family names are given. She helped me find where I was to go. It was great to see her there.
President Wixcom, the Salt Lake Temple President, laid his hands upon my head and called me to be a Ordance worker in the Salt Lake Temple. My daughter Paulette was present..
Both Bro and Sister Wixom said that Bishop Chesdister, and Stake President Killian said great things about me....
I will work on Thursdays at 10am to about 4pm in the Salt Lake Temple.
This is something I have always wanted to do...

Today was my first day in training in the Temple. One of the videos they showed was a couple who came to the Temple in their street clothing. They had just came from the doctors office where they found out that their unborn baby girl had died. They needed the comfort of being in the Temple at this special time of their life.
Watching this film and seeing how they were struggling, brought back full feelings of when I lost my son Eugene. I was so overcome, I struggled with my own feelings inside....I could not eat, I could not think clear, I was shaking and was having a hard time breathing. My heart was beating oddly, I only wanted to find a place where I could hide my face and cry my eyes out, hoping to find peace....
Sitting in the study room trying to memorize, I turned my face to the wall and cried out to Heavenly Father for help ..... A soft voice of thought responded....He is ok,...you saw him...he is ok ...he is ok... you saw him....he is ok...he is ok... he is ok.... he is ok....
Slowly my breathing started to return to normal...My heart and emotions calmed down. Soon I was able to function again...I don't know what I would have done if He hadn't helped me.....
I am so Thankful we can receive Heavenly Fathers help when we need him, and know that He is aware of each of us...

Stake President Killian...
July 20 2018
I had an appointment with Stake President Jason Killian last night. I have known him for many years, he carries a special spirit about him that I have often admired. When we first moved into our home Bro Killian was a counselor to my Bishop Steve Collings. He also helped Lynn put in our sprinkler system around our home.
As I sat in his presents I became aware of how strong his calling is, you could just feel the presents of something special. I have often looked up into his friendly eyes as I have talked with him may times. But this time I felt he could see right through me. I was surprised... and wondered when the time comes when we meet our Lord and Savior, if I will be prepared, when he sees right through me...

A Wonderful Blessing...
May 26, 2018
Upon returning home from the store, I was surprised to find two blue pickup trucks on my driveway....I found Bro. Doug Holyoak, and Bro. Joshua Schultz working on my back porch.
It was badly weather worn, and was missing a side rail, which had never been added. I always wondered if I could fall off the porch as my balance is not the best. The missing side rail is on the side where the sliding door opens.
They dissembled the porch side, sanded all the wood smooth, painted all the wood, and put it all together again, including railing on both sides of the porch. It was Wonderful...looked so new and easy to walk on. I was very grateful to have it...I felt so bad that they were working in the hot sun for over five hours for me. Bishop Chidester stopped by a little while and helped sand and paint.
Its so nice to be able to walk out onto the porch, and have a handrail all the way down to the cement. I don't know why I am so blessed to be living in a ward where people watch out for me.

Gift of Special Blessings...
May 14, 2018
Yesterday was Mother's Day...
Sometimes we receive sacred blessings that cause us to be in awed, how the Lord is welling to bless us when we are in need, and its unexpected. I was reminded of a lesson I have learned, why people who receive such blessings are not willing to talk about it..... its is because when we talk about it, it doesn't feel special anymore, seems to fade away in our memories, instead of keeping the feeling of humble gratitude.
I know the Lord is very much aware of Mothers, I have had the experience in my own life, which comfermed the truthfullness of life continuing after this one.
With the unending work that Mothers have, working with his children, when there is a great need, the Lord often open ways to bless us, its sometimes, at times when we feel there are no other way....

Prescott High Seminary....Jodie...
2017
While Jodie attended Prescott High in Arizona, her Seminary class created a time capsol. They wrote their testimonies on gold colored foil, and put them into book form, like the gold plates from the Book of Mormon. Jodie's testimony was included in this book.
This month my Grandson Noah Hone's Seminary class dug up the time capsol, Someone recorded it and put it on Facebook....That was real neat to see.... and knowing that my family was part of it all.

The Singing Pine Tree....
March 14 2018
In a corner of my back yard is a Singing Pine Tree.
Its small compared to normal size pine trees. What makes it so unque is that its full of birds. Sparrows, house fenches, and two beautiful gray doves, who got caught in a bad storm took refuge in the bottom part of the tree, and I guess decided to make it home.
The birds fly between my tree and the Grua's tree which is very close by, and just over the fence.. When they are all there and feeling happy my tree sings and sings loudly..... Makes me happy!....
