Through Jesus Christ, we can escape the deserved agonies of our moral failings and overcome the undeserved agonies of our mortal misfortunes.
P5 S2
Pages of this sacred text include an account of the personal ministry of Jesus Christ among people in the Western Hemisphere soon after His Resurrection.
I worked on my Sunday journal this morning before sacrament meeting. Stacy and Joshua did not go to church with us because they both forgot to bring their Sunday clothes. They stayed home and watched a conference talk.
Judy Hunter was the speaker in our meeting today and today is her birthday. She said she was asked back in March to speak but then the meetings were shut down and she thought she would get out of speaking but Brother Goodman reminded her that he had asked her to speak. She spoke about the importance of the "Come Follow Me" program.
It seems funny sitting every other row, seeing people wearing masks, (I didn't wear one), and not singing. Also there was a closing prayer after Judy's talk and then we had the sacrament. I guess they do it that way so they can Zoom record everything except the sacrament.
I spoke with Sister Halcomb and Anne Miller after the meeting. Anne said they are still trying to sell their house. The do not want to rent it. Someone looked at it yesterday and she had her fingers crossed. They may not move until December. It will be nice to have them here a little longer. Their daughter Andyn is one of my most favorite people in the entire ward.
When we got home from church James took a nap and I worked on my blog. A little later we went to town to pick up prescriptions for him. His x-ray came back clean which means the infection did not get into the bone.
Stacy wanted biscuits and gravy so that's how we broke our fast. The steak I bought was a chuck steak and it was extremely tough but the taste of the gravy was delicious. Joshua decided he wanted to go home today so after we ate and Stacy worked on her (my) jigsaw puzzle for a while they got ready to go. Stacy's car wouldn't start so James used my jumper cable to help her get going. He also gave her some gas so she wouldn't have to stop. She made it as far as Ray and McQueen before she ran out of gas. I guess when her car says she has 20 miles left, she really doesn't have any. Paul came to her rescue.
We FaceTimed with Jared, Kacey and Charlie today. Of course the first thing Charlie wanted to do was see Luna so James took my phone outside. Jared mentioned that Charlie is potty trained and was ready to go to Disneyland. I told him we would give her a little more time and besides, Disneyland is not open right now. We are proud of Charlie for being potty trained though.
We had our Zoom family meeting with Jared, Kacey, and Kim and Brian. I guess Stacy and Sheri are not too interested in joining with us. We decided that some of the themes for conference were: Unity, Preparedness, and overcoming trials. I gave a brief report on Elder Christopher's talk, "Sustainable Societies."
James and I watched a Hallmark movie this evening, "Follow Your Heart". This one was about a girl who left her Amish community and then 10 years later came back when her father died and falls in love with her old boyfriend. We liked it.
Sacrament meeting I felt better.
In the other pictures I took Stacy had her eyes closed.
In this one Joshua does. Oh well.
Charlie and Scarlett!
