We picked up the Prius and it looks great. It's so nice to have it back. We'll take the rental back this morning.

Brad and Alice Harward came over yesterday evening and we had tacos, played Five Crowns and enjoyed a very nice visit.

Come Follow Me 

Mosiah 16: 8 But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.

"Yes, this life is passing swiftly; our days seem to fade quickly; and death appears frightening at times. Nevertheless, our spirit will continue to live and will one day be united with our resurrected body to receive immortal glory. I bear solemn witness that because of the merciful Christ, we will all live again and forever. Because of our Savior and Redeemer, one day we will truly understand and rejoice in the meaning of the words “the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ.”

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, October 2012

"Brothers and sisters, one of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so. His solitary journey brought great company for our little version of that path—the merciful care of our Father in Heaven, the unfailing companionship of this Beloved Son, the consummate gift of the Holy Ghost, angels in heaven, family members on both sides of the veil, prophets and apostles, teachers, leaders, friends. All of these and more have been given as companions for our mortal journey because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the Restoration of His gospel. Trumpeted from the summit of Calvary is the truth that we will never be left alone nor unaided, even if sometimes we may feel that we are. Truly the Redeemer of us all said: “I will not leave you comfortless: [My Father and] I will come to you [and abide with you].”

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, April 2009
