James and Alex left early this morning for the valley, so that left me home alone. During my gospel study I found this quote about patience by Elder Neal A. Maxwell:
"If our patience is being tried, we might expect that our faith is also being tried; if or capacity for patience is increasing, we might also expect that our faith is increasing. In the eternal scheme of things, we cannot become as God without having developed the ability to demonstrate infinite patience with perfect faith. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that God would give us multiple opportunities to gain invaluable experience with patience and faith." The law of the harvest is this: whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap. Between sowing and reaping lies enduring with patience.
I watched an episode of "The Mentalist" from the new season. I did some laundry and started to clean the wood floor but realized I needed some more Swifer pads so I got ready to go in to town. My gauge showed I could go around 30 miles. I knew it was going to be close but I thought I could make it when I first started out. I got about three or four miles down the highway and I just had the feeling I needed to go back to the Vernon gas station and get a little gas. When I got there the attendant told me they were still out of gas. Well by this time I knew I would be cutting it way to close to get into town so I went back home. I called James and asked him to bring home some gas. Not only did he bring gas but he also brought me a green chili burro! James said Alex went with him and worked all day at Yoshimine's with him. The money he earned will go towards buying some new fishing flies.
Before James got home I watched Project Runway and Cupcake Wars because I know James does not like either one of these shows.
