Ryan and Stephanie Hobbs' 20th Wedding Anniversary

I got up and had my personal prayer.  When Debbie got up we had prayer together.  I showered, shaved, and started to make reservations to go tomorrow evening to see a Shakespeare Festival play, TIMON OF ATHENS, at the Eileen and Allen Anes Studio Theatre at the college in Cedar City.  Jody Jenkins, my mission president's daughter, was in charge of the Shakespeare Festival at the college before she retired.  I knew it was Sunday and something I should wait until tomorrow to do, so I did not complete the purchase.  I will check and see if I can get tickets tomorrow.  Debbie and Ljubica fixed breakfast and afterward, Bojana cleaned the kitchen.  We followed our neighbors to church this morning.  *Note: In the sacrament meeting, the text in one of the songs, Upon the Cross of Calvery, "death unlocks the passageway into eternity".  The text is by Vilate Raile, born in 1890.  Another thought, A devout Christian Pentecostal believed he was saved and confessed Jesus as his Savior and he did not have to do anything else ever again.  When asked why he ministered and served so faithfully if he believed he did not have to do it?  The young Pentecostal man looked shocked he was being asked the question but he did answer,  Why would I not, I love Jesus and I love these people I serve.  A third thought; Mirko, Ljubica, and Bojana were introduced in Sunday School.  A young wife set behind us who served a mission in the Adriatic South Mission about 10 years ago.  There were others in the class who knew or had friends in Croatia and Serbia.  We ate dinner and afterward, Debbie, Bojana, and I went for a walk around the Las Palmas development and saw 3 outdoor swimming pools, one indoor pool, and the clubhouse which was a large sports complex and home of a cheer group like the one Madeline is in back in San Diago.  Later we all had prayer together and I studied scriptures.  Laer Debbie and I had prayer together before going to bed.
