What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Jesus Call His Apostles: I Will Make Ye Fishers of Men

https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2011-10-060-follow-me-and-i-will-make-you-fishers-of-men?category=bible-videos-the-life-of-jesus-christ

Jesus calls his apostles:
 18 ¶And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.  (Matthew 4)

  16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
 18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
 19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.  (Mark 1)

Tony's Flat Stanley in Iowa with Caleb

Tony had a school project to send a Flat Stanley to a couple people, and then have him come back so he could share him at school.  Caleb did a great job, but the next link failed Tony and Flat Stanley never made it home.  However Tony was OK as this happened to others as well.  In the mean time, Flat Stanley had a good time in Iowa.

Weekend and Memorial Day Project

 Plastic, mulch and planter boxes.  It looks much better than it did.  I made the planter boxes from some old flats that Jeremy had collected.  So the only cost was for the soil, mulch and walking stones which we brought from Walmart.  We have already put in lettuce and radishes; saving some seeds for planting every couple of weeks.

What is left to be done, and some idea what we were facing, only taller weeds, and some thistles which I had to carefully pull.

Tony is a Second Grader

Tony did very well in school this year.  His report card was very impressive.  He did excellent in spelling and reading and passed all his requirements.  We drove past the school on the way home from church and he says he misses it already.  I pointed out since school got out on Friday, and today is Sunday, he really hasn't missed going to school any days yet.  He says he misses it all the same.  Tony really liked his teacher, Mrs Beck.

Tony's First Grade Work: Sample

Toucan, Tony says this work was with chalk, and then sprayed something to seal it.
