And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know and love you. They want you to return to Them and become like Them. Your success is Their success. You have felt that love confirmed by the Holy Ghost when you have read or heard these words: "For behold, this is my work and my glory - to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
God has the power to make our way easier. He fed manna to the children of Israel in their wandering to the promised land. The Lord in HIs mortal ministry healed the sick, raised the dead, and calmed the sea. After His Resurrection, He opened "the prison to them that were bound."
Yet the Prophet Joseph Smith, one of the greatest of HIs prophets, suffered in prison and was taught the lesson we all profit from and need in our recurring tests of faith: "And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the deep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good."
P3 S2
In this vision, he learned that following the death of the original Apostles, Christ's New Testament Church was lost from the earth.
I'm back to sleeping on the recliner. It is just too difficult to sleep on my back in our bed. I can sleep on my side, but when I am in a lot of pain I just keep moving back and forth from side to side. On the recliner I am on my back and I don't move around. I am on the recliner in the morning when James gets up and he comes over and rubs my leg and foot. It feels so good. As I am lying down I listen to conference talks, James and I have prayer and we read from the Book of Mormon and the "Come Follow Me" lesson. Part of the lesson was a video about Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery meeting. It was about 25 minutes long and really good.
James takes the truck up the hill to get the trailer so he can take the Razr in to Show Low Motorsports to be serviced. He can't see the road because of the snow and he slides into a rock, he can't go forward or backward...he's stuck. Chuck comes over first with his truck and then the tractor to try and pull James out, but it didn't work. Pierce brought over his big Army Unimog. It slid towards the truck, barely missing it. Pierce then decided to go home and get a 40 ton wench on his two ton Army dump truck. He tied the wench cable up the hill to a tree and somehow pulled the truck out. James said it was very impressive. He then proceeded to clean off our road. It snowed most of the day today.
James called Show Low Motorsports to say he was bringing his machine in a day early but he found out they were closed so he left the truck and trailer with the Razr on it, in the driveway and took the car into town to pick up prescriptions for me. I called the doctor and got him to prescribed me another five days of prednisone. I also found out that my x-rays show I have stenosis buildup in my lower lumbar. James says stenosis is like a calcium buildup. Dr. Brian (the nurse practitioner) says I may have to have surgery and I should see a spine doctor. I gave him the name of Sonoran Spine and he sent them a referral for me. I called them and got an appointment on February 8th. Dr. Crandall, who did James's surgery works at the clinic but he no longer takes Medicare patients since 2018 when James had his surgery.
When James left here there was about 10 inches of snow and when he got to Show Low they only had about 2 inches. He had no problem getting my four prescriptions which cost almost $100. Three were previous prescriptions I had called in and one was the Prednisone. The Methotrexate is the one that is so costly. James also stopped at China Wok and got some food and hot and sour soup.
After he had been gone over three hours I began to worry so I called him. He said he hit a snowdrift when he turned off the Green's Peak road and spun off the road. He kept putting branches under the tires and finally got out. He then got stuck again at the bottom of our hill in a huge blizzard. Chuck pulled him up the hill but they couldn't make the turn into our drive so my car sits out on the road. The blizzard was so bad neither Chuck nor James could see anything. James says our car is worthless in the snow because it is so light.
James is soaked and has snow all over in his hair. When he went out to feed Luna she was covered in ice, but seemed to be fine.
No "Come Follow Me" everyone except the Peeler's cancelled.
I indexed 212 names today for a January total of 970.
