'Embrace the Future with Faith'
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
My dear sisters, let us not just endure this current season. Let us embrace the future with faith! Turbulent times are opportunities for us to thrive spiritually. They are times when out influence can be much more penetrating than in calmer times.
I promise that as we create places of security, prepare our minds to be faithful to God, and never stop preparing, God will bless us.
He will "deliver us; yea, insomuch that he will speak peace to our souls, and will grant unto us great faith, and . . . cause us that we can hope for our deliverance in him."
As you prepare to embrace the future with faith, these promises will be yours!

His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come.

Sheri got her around 10:30. We are so glad she is here. James and I left for town around 12:15 for my surgery on my right eye at Barnet-Delaney-Perkins. I was to be there at 12:50 and did not want to be late. Last time they took me right back. This time I did a lot of waiting. My surgery didn't even start until after 3.
Putting the port in for my anesthesia was the worst part of this entire process. The girl could not find a vein in my arm, (I wish Tiffany from the arthritis center was here), so she put the port in my hand which was painful and even more painful when the doctor put the anesthesia in. The second most painful thing was the automatic blood pressure cuff they put on my right arm. I was squeezing my arm so tightly that I was about ready to scream. I told one of the nurses and she put it on my lower arm which helped a little. The actual surgery itself was a piece of cake and only took 15 minutes or so.
They rolled me to the recovery room, made me get up from the bed and sit in a chair, took my blood pressure, offered me something to drink and I chose apple juice, and I was on my way with James who had been waiting for me.
Of course I have an eye patch over my right eye. Sheri calls me a pirate.
Bless James. He went to LaCasita and got me my favorite meal, a chicken enchilada with red sauce with rice and beans. I did not eat it until I got home and then I couldn't eat all of it.
Sheri had taken the boys to Pizza Factory for dinner.
James got his lab reports. Out of the five broken ribs he got when Luna bucked him off, three are still broken. No wonder he is in so much pain! The report on his prostate was not good. The average score for a person his age is 6. His score was 11, which means it is very enlarged and the doctor wants to check for cancer so he referred him to a urologist. My brother Harold had prostate cancer and he took treatments and it is now in remission. I told James to call and talk to him.
This evening Sheri and I watched the following movies:
"It Was Always You"
"Mix-up in the Mediterranean"
"Playing Cupid"
Earlier I told Sheri to watch an older movie, "Love Under the Stars" starring Wes Brown and Ashley Williams. I know she likes Wes Brown. At one point we gave the TV in the family room to Max to watch either a basketball game or "The Twilight Zone." We came in our bedroom to finish watching.
