'I Believe in Angels'

Elder Carlos A. Godoy

Of the Presidency of the Seventy

The angels that walk among us in our everyday lives are powerful reminders of God's love for us. 

The first angels that I will mention are the two sister missionaries who taught me the gospel when I was a young man: Sister Vilma Molina and Sister Ivonete Rivitti. 

My parents and siblings were not interested in learning more about the Church at that time. They were not even willing to have the missionaries in our home, so I took the missionary lessons in a Church building. That small room in the chapel became my "sacred grove."

Restoration Proclamation

P9 S2

We affirm that God is making known His will for His beloved sons and daughters.

This morning on the way to town I dropped off rolls at the park. Volunteers are putting together 65 Thanksgiving food boxes for those in need in the Vernon area. It was a beautiful day to be outside. I parked my car at the park and James picked me up in the truck to go to town. He's doing errands and getting propane while I shop at Walmart. 

As soon as James dropped me off at Walmart I realized I had left my phone in the truck. Not only is it my communication with James but it has my grocery list on it. Oh well, I guess I can do some things from memory.

I finished shopping and went outside to wait for James. I know I waited at least 30 minutes, maybe more, when I finally saw him walking across the parking lot. He loaded the groceries in the truck and off we went. When we got home we finished up the book, "Blackberry Crumble." After the groceries were put away James and I each had a piece of Walmart's pumpkin pie. No too bad. I love pumpkin pie!

I made minestrone soup for dinner and it tasted so good! We watched the new Hallmark movie, "A Nashville Christmas Carol."

Grateful for my hardworking husband
