Prioritized Daily Task

5:10 am - Go to work at the Saratoga Springs Temple

10:45 am - Miracle Ear appointment in Lehi 

I was up early and had prayer.  I let Debbie sleep while I showered, shaved, and got ready to drive to the Saratoga Springs Temple.  I arrived a few minutes before the temple opened to the ordinance workers at 5:10am.  I changed out of my Sunday suit and into my white temple clothes.  My first and last assignment today was in the initiatory.  The rest of the time, I worked the veil when the endowment sessions ended. When I finished, I changed back into my Sunday clothes and drove to Miracle Ear in Lehi.  Paul Thurston cleaned and adjusted my hearing aids.  Afterwards, I drove over to the Megaplex Theater and met Debbie, Max, and Jack.  We saw "Sketch," an Angel Production movie.  I drove the Tesla home, and Debbie took Max and Jack home in the Subaru Outback.  She switched vehicles with Porter and used his pickup truck to get Jody's large mirror, which she bought. When it was laid down flat in the back of the pickup, the mirror was wedged between the wheel wells with the tailgate down.  It was heavy.  I got it lifted straight up, but it was too wide and heavy to slide to the tailgate.  Debbie went next door and got Colin Schow, our neighbor, who was home, to help unload the mirror. Colin's wife is Emma.  Lori Lynn sent me a picture of Debbie and me on the street in the Island of Guernsey when we were on our cruise with her mother and brother on 21st Jun, last year.  After dinner, Debbie and I studied scriptures, watched TV, Debbie ironed about a dozen of my shirts, and we had prayer together before going to bed.

 An old fort was constructed in 1780, Clarence Battery was built as one of the original outer defences of Fort George, Guernsey's major military headquarters in the late 1780s. It was the island's principal fort during the French Revolution and home of the German Luftwaffe's early warning system during World War II.  The Islands of Guernsey are what’s known as an ‘archipelago’ – a collection of islands located on the English Channel between England and France. Guernsey is the largest of five, and its sister Islands of Herm, Sark, Alderney, and Lihou
