We are grateful for our knowledge of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. And yet at some point in our lives, we will have felt heartbroken after losing someone whom we love dearly. Through the current global pandemic, many of us have lost loved ones - either family members or friends. We pray for those who are grieving such loss.
Restoration Proclamation
P#8
We gladly declare that the promised Restoration goes forward through continuing revelation. The earth will never again be the same, as God will "gather together in one all things in Christ" (Ephesians 1:10).

We can't always offer answers but we can offer comfort.
Family Memory
Charlie said this to me when we went to visit earlier this year:
"I'm glad you came to my house."
It melted my heart.
James woke up this morning and told me about a couple of dizzy spells he had when he got up during the night to use the bathroom. He walked around with the walking stick Gary Booth, Kaitlin's dad made, for the first couple of hours. I said the room was spinning around and I told him he had a case of vertigo. It soon went away.
James had a test done on his awhile back and Dr. Moffat never called him with the results, so he called the doctor. The doctor said he had a cyst on his kidney and they would need to do another test in a year. I guess it's not too serious if he's waiting a year to do another test.
The MRI machine is down at Summit Hospital so James's MRI for his prostate will need to be scheduled at a Banner hospital in the valley. We are just now finding this out. Hopefully he can get the MRI the week we are in the valley.
This from this week's "CFM" me lesson: "Covenant keepers are those who shall obtain mercy." I wouldn't want to be Leman Copley.
Our friend Darla Freeman is in the intensive care unit at the Scottsdale Osborn trauma hospital. This is the message that Chuck received from her husband Ron this morning: Darla is still critical and is scheduled for surgery at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. Ron said he'd call me with an update after surgery. Please continue to include Darla in your prayers.
I got rid of all my books on my Amazon sellers account so I thought I could close the account but I was wrong. I have to wait 90 day after the last book was sold which was on April 26th. In the meantime my account is $43 in the hole, which means that will be charged on my credit card.
I made taco soup for lunch today. James wasn't too happy. He thought we were going to have egg salad sandwiches made with the eggs the Grapp's gave us. He made this comment after his third bowl "I don't usually like taco soup that much but this is delicious! I told him the name of the recipe was: Best Taco Soup. That's why it's so good.
Today is my friend Pam Giles's 50th birthday. I have something to give her and a card. I was going to arrange to meet her and give her the gift and the card but at the last minute I had a change of heart. I texted her to wish her a happy birthday and told her I had a card for her. She seemed excited and said she hoped she would get it today. As I sat here looking at her card I realized after putting a stamp on it that I couldn't mail it. We would have to deliver it. We were planning on going to Benson's baseball game this afternoon and I thought we could drop the card off then but James said he couldn't go to the game because he had to get ready for his trip to the valley tomorrow. I told him my plan about dropping off Pam's card and asked him if he could drop it off in her mailbox. He did. She loved the card, she said it was beautiful and spoke to her soul and that she would keep it forever. I told her it reminded me of her and she said I nailed it!
This was Pam's birthday present from her husband, Ricky:
This is what Pam wrote about the cake: This morning Ricky walks in singing HBD w/ this cake. Said he baked this and decorated himself. How? I don't have an oven. He smiles, he bought me a portable gas oven. I'm so excited!!! Yummy strawberry cake. This weekend I'm going to play with my new oven. It's the little things in life. He's so thoughtful. 30 years together and he finally baked me a yummy cake. He did awesome! I brought some to share with Jenny. (Put her on the temple prayer list please, Jennifer Long). Today was a good day. What's your favorite cookie? I'll make you a treat with my new tiny oven. I told her I liked oatmeal with walnuts. She said she has a great oatmeal cookie recipe.
I listened to Emily and Rio on Inklings Institute today. We are discussing Elder Renlund's talk, "Infuriating Unfairness" and John 8 along with some scriptures in Isaiah and Hebrews. Emily talked about a time when she felt like life was treating her unfairly. Her credit card was denied at the grocery store, her husband was out of work, she had a major serious illness, and she got no comfort from her job as a Primary teacher. She says she remembers one sharing time when she cried the entire time. One day her husband had her get in the car and they drove 13 hours to the beach. She sat on the beach for three days and the rhythm of the ocean reminded her of the rhythm of grace and the rhythm of spiritual healing. She read Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Instead of being fixated on our problems, we need to be fixated on Jesus and study his life and teachings like President Nelson admonished us to. We must come boldly to the throne of Grace.
I finished my book, "Until Vienna", and started a new one, "The Crown of Rosemund."
He was the Sunday School President and would always
say "Think Sunday School." He flew a fighter plane in
World War II.
