General Conference

Small and Simple Things

President Dallin H. Oaks

"We are taught many small and simple things inn the gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to be reminded that in total and over a significant period of time, these seemingly small things bring to pass great things. There have been many talks on this subject by General Authorities and by other respected teachers. The subject is so important that I feel to speak of it again."

Russell M. Nelson 4/18 #71. Introductory Remarks

"We announce a significant restructuring of our Melchizedek Priesthood quorums to accomplish the work of the Lord more effectively."

Ensign: "A Righteous Fathers Influence," "Creating a Culture of Inclusion."

James and I went to the Howard's this morning after gospel study time to see their new filly. She was born Tuesday night.

Love the tail and ears

Loves her mama

Always hungry

On the way to the Howard's James "re-located" a pesky squirrel from our yard.

When we returned home James went upstairs to work on his talk while I went to the recliner for a rest. 

It was 95 degrees today and 109 in the valley. Summer is officially here.

The storms in southeast Texas right now remind me of my friend Kay's book.

I went grocery shopping this afternoon. When I returned home James had a smoothie waiting for me. We always have a green smoothie for dinner.

After putting away the groceries I did my walk and then took a bath. I made some phone calls/texts to sisters in Primary and YW telling them about the ward activity on Saturday evening.

James and I worked at the dining room table this evening. He on his talk and me on planning and then reading. I sure do love my grape flavored water enhancer!  James wants some pudding and I forgot to get some. Sorry honey.

Old and creepy

Near Flagstaff
