I love my country!!! I'm wearing navy and white BUT that's going to be the extent of my celebration. I stayed up until after 1am packing my shoes. I use those sterilite plastic shoe boxes so I needed to find big boxes to pack them since I weeded but still have 37 pairs of shoes. I have more shoe boxes I haven't used yet. I haven't seen the closets because I didn't want a tour since I know what they look like. My young Tongan friends from California used to live there. I hope they're doing well. The walk-in closet looks substantial but I'll just have to see.

I ate all my ice-cream over the last two days. I made my guava cake with nectar last night. FINALLY!!! It is good. I screwed up the glaze still. What is with that thing???!!! I confirmed with Mark, Josh and Jeff.

Ether 13
 13 And I was about to write more, but I am forbidden; but great and marvelous were the prophecies of Ether; but they esteemed him as naught, and cast him out; and he ahid himself in the cavity of a rock by day, and by night he went forth viewing the things which should come upon the people.                                            14 And as he dwelt in the cavity of a rock he made the aremainderof this record, viewing the destructions which came upon the people, by night.                                                                     22 And it came to pass that Coriantumr repented not, neither his household, neither the people; and the wars ceased not; and they sought to akill Ether, but he fled from before them and hid again in the cavity of the rock.                                                                                   26 And there were robbers, and in fine, all manner of wickedness upon all the face of the land.


I've read the Book of Mormon many times and I don't ever remember Ether having to hide in the cavity of a rock, cave???!!! Ether is winding down consistent with the bulk of the chapter or chaos.
Mahina Facebooked me she is on her way about an hour ago so she should be here anytime. I'm glad I did my last couple of loads this morning. I just need to take out a few clothes from the dryer now.
Followers of Christ - Dallin H. Oaks
Jesus taught that God created male and female and that a man should leave his parents and cleave to his wife (see Mark 10:6–8). Our commitment to this teaching is well known.
But at least we can understand that achieving this ultimate destiny in eternity is possible only if we follow our Savior, Jesus Christ, who taught that “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). We seek to follow Him and become more like Him, here and hereafter. 

Dallin Oaks is awesome!!! He and Neal A. Maxwell were my favorite apostles forever. Especially because I wanted to be an attorney for so long and Dallin Oaks was the president of Chicago Law School. I read somewhere that he vigorously makes a case for what he believes in when in counsel with the 12 BUT that when a decision is reached he supports it fully. I love his humility. This is how we should all be. Ignorance is NOT bliss!!! We should develop our intellectual faculties as much as possible BUT ALWAYS remain hum
