After a good breakfast we drove to the Payson, Utah Temple. We had a good session. As we walked out the door Lisa showed met us. Carol gave Lisa, Melisa's money. On the way we stopped at Wendy's and got Hamburgers. fry's, drinks and chicken nuggets. We then stopped in Nephi for ice cream cones and then drove home. I called the guy who is going to fix our well. He is busy and one of our neighbors wants to be there when he comes. It may take several weeks for every can there the same time.
The Life of Merrill and Carol Johnson
I write all most every day of what goes on in our home in the garden and in the nursery. We are ordinance workers at the Manti Temple on the Tuesday morning shift and the Saturday evening shift. In addition there are several trips to Utah county a couple of times a month and a few short trips to other mountain west areas. Our family is most important to us. All of our children live in Utah except one who lives in Kentucky.

Not Fixed
Up this morning. I fed the cats and made three bowels of old fashion oatmeal mush. We watched the channel seven TV shows, I hooked up the drip line for the dahlia plants.
I watered the plants in greenhouse five. I picked some peas and gave them to Carol. The fire alarm sounded. Carol and I drove around town. There was a fire truck was backed into some one's yard. There were some irrigation ditches that we saw. There was not much water running.

May Fix Well
A thought came to me during the night. I could hire one of Adam's kids to do the irrigating.
This morning Carol went to her exercise class. While she was gone, I read another chapter from the Book of Mormon. When she got back, she asked me if anyone knocked on the door. I didn't know. She said that there was a truck parked north of greenhouse one. I hurried out there. I met three men in front of greenhouse five. We talked some about the well. The then asked our neighbor if they could take their equipment across her property to the well. She must have given permission because they haven't come back.
I got the weed eater and cut down the weeds and grass north of the greenhouses.
I took the weed eater and cut down weeds north of the greenhouses. I cut until the battery died.

Payson Temple
This morning started as usual. Up at 6:20, put on my suit. Carol was up. We had breakfast and then left for Payson where we had a 9:40 appointment. We don't go to that temple, so we didn't know our way around, but there were plenty of temple workers that showed us where to go. After the session we stopped at Walmart and bought some tomato and some pepper plants. We then drove home. I took the plants out greenhouse five and gave them a good watering.
We Carol made more sugar water for the hummingbirds.Wednesday, May 6, 2026
Orem
We were invited to attend the sealing of Holden and Megan and their children. Weve drove to Orem this afternoon. We were early so we went the slow way. I thought that we were going the wrong way, but Carol new where we were going. We then drove to the temple parking lot. We went into the temple and showed our recommends. We were directed to the marriage waiting room. Then we went into the sealing room. It was a wonderful spiritual experience. We then went outside and waited for Holden and his family, We got on some steps while a photographer took lots of pictures. It was cold. I got a few pictures.
