"Poor Little Ones"
Jorge T. Becerra
Of the Seventy
While serving as an Area Seventy, I reserved each Tuesday night to do ministering visits with the stake presidents in my area of responsibility. I invited them to make appointments with those who were in need of an ordinance of the gospel of Jesus Christ or who were not currently keeping the covenants they had made. Through our consistent and intentional ministering, the Lord magnified our efforts and we were able to find individuals and families who were in need. These were the "poor little ones" who lived in the different stakes where we served.


Family Proclamation
P6
Husband and Wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. "Children are an heritage of the Lord" (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives - mothers and fathers - will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.

Inklings
Ezekiel 47


"Follow Him" - Please Lord, cleanse my soul.
Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson

James working at Elkins' with the water trailer and generator. Both broke down today.

I went to town this afternoon to do my grocery shopping at Walmart and to buy birthday cards for June. I already have a card for Ruby so I only had to get cards for Ian, Brian, and Dallin. I used my debit card to pay for my groceries so I could get cash back for birthday cards.

Before going home I went through the drive-thru at Aliberto's.
I ordered three burritos, an Arizona for me, a carne asada, and a bean and cheese. James doesn't like to eat meat at night but I forgot he also doesn't like to eat cheese at night. He did eat the bean and cheese though.

Jared accidentally FaceTime me today. They were all outside, him, Kacey, and Charlie, playing in the water from the hose and the rain. 
He said a tornado had touched down a few minutes ago nearby. I told him we had fires here and we were praying for rain. Jared says he is on call the week we have our hike planned. He is going to try to trade with someone. I hope he can, otherwise we may have to try to change our date again.

I am reading another murder mystery by my friend, Stephanie McConkie Black. This one is called "Cold as Ice." The annoying, complaining woman who is murdered is named Karen. Is Stephanie playing in to pop culture? When I looked Karen up on Google this is what it says: Karen is a pejorative term for a woman seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. (Describes Stephanie's character to a T) The term also refers to memes depicting White women who use their privilege to demand their own way. Depictions also may include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist or sporting a particular bob cut hairstyle. The term has been criticized for being sexist, ageist, misogynistic, or seeking to control female behavior. As of 2020, the term was increasingly being used in media and on social media as a general-purpose term for middle class White women, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests. The term has also been applied to male behavior. The Guardian called 2020 "the year of Karen." Maybe Stephanie forgot that we were friends, else why would she use my name for such an unlikable character.

James asked if we could offer dinner to Armondo, his son, and Joseph who are coming up tomorrow to help pour concrete on Thursday. I told him I would fix them dinner and they could stay here if they needed to.
