Yesterday was a full day! I got up and went to exercise. Then David and I went to meet Christian, Leslie, Britt and Annika at the Lightrail to go over to the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix to see the Body World exhibit. Actually, David and I weren't going to go into the exhibit because it was too expensive and we had seen the exhibit several years earlier in NYC, but we were allowed to enter the Science Center on Leslie's membership and then we got a senior citizen discount and so it ended up costing us only $23. Since Lynn had given us $50 for lunch yesterday, we figured we had enough money to go in and spend more time with some people that we dearly love.
It was really lots of fun. The exhibit was amazing (though kind of crowded since it is Spring Break), and a bit "newer-looking" than the exhibit we saw in New York. (Small bits hadn't fallen to the bottom of the case enclosing the object being exhibited as we sometimes saw in NYC.) But it was all absolutely fascinating - even the second time around. And it was lots of fun sharing it with Christian and family. After we came out, Leslie shared the picnic lunch she had packed. It was perfect. Apples, cheese, carrot sticks, trail mix, grapes, blackberries, bananas, and peanut butter pretzels with nutella to dip them in! (Just enough for us all to have 2 or 3 pretzels each - but Britt cleaned the nutella container out with her finger and licking it off after we were all through. A girl after my own heart!)
Since David and I hadn't really planned to see Body World, we thought we would be home in plenty of time to get ready for the temple. We realized we would have to hurry to get there in time if we left right away. Christian and Leslie and Annika wanted to stay and do more Science Center. Britt decided to come home with us.
There is a billboard sign that we could see when riding the light rail that says, "Save the date." (picture of little box with check in it) "Christ is coming, May 21, 2011"
Who told them? Is President Monson keeping a secret from us, but telling other people? Yeah, right! Well, I expect to be around then. I wouldn't mind it at all if Jesus Christ came then and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be very glad to see him.
David and I got home just barely in time to get ready. He really needed a haircut to look all neat and tidy for the temple, but there just wasn't time. (Don't worry, he looked all handsome and dignified in his "temple whites.") I sure like working in the baptistry. It just feels so good to be there and our coordinators - Bro. and Sis. Agle - are such great people. I just love it! We got home, got into our jammies and fell asleep in our recliners. We woke up and went to bed some time before midnight.

We were so happy to have you both join us. It was awfully nice of Dad to visit with the Boston lady on the train. :)
Haha...billboards like that are too funny. And I'm so glad the Agle's have you and you them!
Love you!
