The Atonement of Jesus Christ

Tad R. Callister

"Alma prophesied that Christ 'shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind.' Why? 'That his bowels may be filled with mercy, ... that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.'"

James and Alex left for Silver Creek this morning. While they were gone I got a call from Chuck asking if James was home. Chuck and Kathy were on their way to the valley to see the Kostusiaks. When I told him no, he said he would call someone else. I asked him what he needed. He said our neighbor, Sister MacArthur has two rattlesnakes in her yard. Chelsie is there alone with two small children. He husband is a hot shot jumper in Alaska and won't be back until October. I texted Chelsie and she said that Brother S. Hunsaker came over and killed the snakes for her. The Priesthood to the rescue, thank goodness!

James and Alex were only gone a couple of hours. Alex caught two fish. Here is one of them:

This guy is gasping for breath so

Alex threw him back in.

Alex left almost as soon as they got back from fishing. I told him we had to take a picture.

Best of friends

We had such a great visit with Alex and are so grateful he came to see us.

I made rolls this afternoon for the temple tomorrow. James helped me join his walking group on Pacer. I sold some books today which always makes me happy. All in all, it was a good day.

 Alex too these photos before leaving Vernon

 The three of us had steak and eggs

for breakfast.

moments that take you breath away."
