'God Will Do Something Unimaginable'

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Think of Joseph Smith the Prophet while imprisoned in LIberty Jail, how he pled for relief for the suffering Saints. He must have wondered how Zion could be established in those circumstances. But the Lord spoke peace to him, and the glorious revelation that followed brought peace to the Saints - and it continues to bring peace to you and me.

Restoration Proclamation

P7 S1

Two hundred years have now elapsed since this Restoration was initiated by God the Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

I indexed some Massachusetts marriage records today and then I paid some bills. I rested on my rear most of the day. I watched Hallmark's "Bridal Wave" where Jaclyn Smith is the snobby, grumpy mother of the groom. 

I paid Owen's Energy, our propane bill, Dishnetwork, and tithing. The check of Mario Chacon's that James accidentally signed looks like it went through the bank but we won't know for sure for a few more days.

My indexing total was 15 for today. I figure if I do 15 records a day I will meet the 309 monthly quota. I did two blog posts and walked 12,000 steps. I'm on course. 

I got my purple Book of Mormon today. It's cute but not sure it's worth $50.

James went to town but he didn't get me tacos. He felt bad and told me I should have asked. I guess I should have.

Jean is in the hospital today. They won't let Tom in so he is waiting outside. She called and said she is worried that they are doing surgery on Tom. I tried to calm her down and told her that we should both say a prayer. That seemed to help. Jean has high blood pressure and they are trying to get it to come down. Tom is worried because she is not eating. When they got home he said he finally got her to eat some fruit. After talking to Jean on the phone she told me that she felt better just hearing my voice.

I listened to two "Come Follow Me" podcasts today, Jared Halverson on "Unshaken", and "Don't Miss This." 

Fake news that I actually sent to my kids.

Never again unless I verify.
