3 Nephi 29:1-30:2
Make a list of some of the Savior's characteristics you consider to be most important. Take a personal inventory of your own life with regard to these characteristics and formulate a plan to better fulfill His mandate to be "even as I am." (3 Nephi 27:27)
GC: "Emmissaries to the Church" by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
Brethren, in the best of all worlds and in those circumstances where it can be done, a monthly visit in each home is still the ideal that Church would strive for.
"Leaders should do their best to use the resources they have available to watch over and strengthen each member."
After my morning gospel study and prayers I go into the bedroom and blog and watch a Christmas movie. Today the movie was, "Single Santa Seeking Mrs. Claus."
After I finished blogging I showered and got ready to go to town with James. Our plan was to go to Sal and Teresa's for lunch and to see our friend Charlotte who works there. Sal and Teresa's is by Cal Ranch. James wanted to make a quick trip in there to look for an ash bucket for the fireplace. He has burned holes in three and says if he gets the right kind that won't happen again. I went to look in the dollar store and said I would meet him at Cal Ranch. When I got to Cal Ranch I saw James talking to Matt and Mary, friends from high school and who also live in Vernon. At first I was going to avoid them and then I thought better of it. The reason I wanted to see Charlotte today was to do a little missionary work. I thought about it and realized that maybe the Lord wanted me to talk to Matt and Mary. James ran into their fence a couple of years ago and Matt was so nice about it. They are not members of the Church and we definitely need to be more friendly. They are such nice people. We talked for at least 30 minutes. They are spending the winter in Tucson. Mary is having some tests to determine whether she has cancer or not. I hope not. We wished them well and said our goodbyes.

When we finally got to Sal and Teresa's they were very busy because it is taco Tuesday. We saw Charlotte but we did not get to talk to her. On my missionary list I have several names that I pray over. Mary is on that list and so is Charlotte.
As we were leaving Sal and Teresa's we met a friend from high school, LaDon. She helped a great deal with our high school reunion this summer and I was grateful for the opportunity to tell her thank you!

Sedona
After lunch we went to Walmart and Home Depot. On the ride back home I read from "Justice of Affliction." Back at home I watched last night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars." Next week is the finale and this is who is left: Calvin Johnson, better known as Megatron, and Lindsey, Gleb and Jana,the country singer, Laurie, the Olympic gold winning gymnast, and Val, and Sharna and the race car driver, James. I like all of the finalists but don't want Gleb and Jana to win. It should be either Laurie and Val, or Sharna and James.
Jared, thanks for the pictures from San Antonio!

James and I watched a new movie starring Erin Krakow, "Finding Father Christmas," and then went and sat by the fire to read.
