Alma 22:14 - atone
And since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself; but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins, through faith and repentance, and so forth; and that he breaketh the bands of death, that the grave shall have no victory, and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory; and Aaron did expound all these things unto the king.

"Hearts Knit in Righteousness and Unity'
Elder Quentin L. Cook
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
In the first year after the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, recorded in section 38 of the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord speaks of wars and wickedness and declares, "I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine."
P6 S1
We declare that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, organized on April 6, 1830, is Christ's New Testament Church restored.
Today is my brother Harold's 71st birthday. I gave him a call this morning to wish him a Happy Birthday and ended up being invited to his birthday dinner this evening at Licano's. This means we will be making two trips into town today because we are going in this morning to get the oil changed in James's truck and to pick up my x-rays and tramadol.
James left in his truck because he was going to try and get it washed before taking it to Jiffy Lube. I stopped by the Hunsaker's to pick up dishes from the meal I took to the Howard's last Saturday and had an interesting visit with Alicia. She is concerned that people are taking things from the Howard's house because she has received a report from their granddaughter Cassie. She told Cassie to call the sheriff, even though the people taking items are family. Also, Alicia does not think Jean has been tested for Covid. She thinks a family member who does not want Jean's daughter Kathy to come from Illinois told everyone Jean had it when they found out Tom had it so Kathy would not come. This makes me sad because I know how much Jean was looking forward to Kathy's visit. I am concerned that because of all of the people at Jean's house that she is not getting the individual attention she needs. I need to call and talk to her.
I also stopped at the post office where a book from Paul to James arrived and our new culinary mystery, "Fortune Cookie" arrived.
James called me and said Jiffy Lube went up on their prices and wanted around $150 to do his truck so he went to Walmart. Walmart charged him $66 plus three extra quarts of oil because his truck takes that much more than most cars/trucks.
I stopped and picked up my x-rays and then went on to Walmart where James had picked up my tramadol and picked out three birthday cards, one for Harold, Stacy, and Trina. I had texted James my entire list, which wasn't too long, but these are the only things he saw so I went around the store and got the other items on my list.
When we were finished shopping James's truck still wasn't done so we checked out and went over to Panda for some lunch. I asked if we could eat inside but one of the Chinese girls gave me a stern look and shook her head no. We both got chow mien noodles. I got orange chicken and chicken with green beans. James got sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken. We ate outside in the car. I left and James went back in to wait for his truck. He got some brownies and ice cream in case we have "Come Follow Me" at our house on Sunday.
As I got closer to home I realized that James had the garage door opener in the truck and I was not going to be able to get in the house. For some reason I don't have a key to the front door on my key chain. I parked in the driveway and fell asleep. When I woke up James had already been in the house. He carried the rest of the groceries in while I staggered in still half asleep. I did manage to get everything put away without too much trouble.
I walked over 8,000 steps before leaving for Harold's birthday dinner at 5:45. The dinner was at Licano's. Vickie had made reservations for 14 people. We had to have two tables because they will only do tables for up to ten people. At one table there was Kaitlynn, Madison and two of their friends who know Harold. Quentin and Monte came and they sat at that table. Monte called it the "kids" table. At the other table was Brian, Harold, Vickie, Me, James, Denise, and Dennis. James ordered the green chili toastado with beef. Harold, Vickie, Dennis and I ordered the Southwest chicken, which is a chicken breast smothered in cheese and green chili sauce. It was quite tasty but my chicken was way over cooked. I had to take about half of my home.

we got to go to Salt Lake City to the summer youth conference they
used to have. We went to plays and all sorts of fun activities. It was on this trip that I got to see President David O. McKay, which of course was the highlight of my trip.
