Jesus Christ, Prophecies about
Luke 4:21
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Book of Mormon
Alma 36:1-24 In what ways do you relate to Alma's conversion story? A: Alma was not converted by the angel. What converted him was remembering something his father had taught him long ago, the name of Jesus Christ, and his choosing to call upon that name for deliverance.

President Nelson has taught:
"Death is a necessary component of our eternal existence. No one knows when it will come, but it is essential to God's great plan of happiness. Thanks to the Atonement of the Lord, eventual resurrection is a reality and eternal life is a possibility for all humankind....

Of Him the Prophet also declared: "And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
"For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father-

"The Atonement of Jesus Christ is infinite and eternal and all encompassing in it breadth and depth but wholly personal and individual in its effects."
-Elder Michael John U. Teh
Up at 5 a.m. Studied "Come Follow Me" and Elder Teh's talk and then President Nelson's talk on faith. After taking my tramadol I laid down for a short while until I felt better. At 10:30 James and I left for Snowflake. Our first stop was at Eva's Mexican Food for lunch. I had a taco and a chicken enchilada. James had a green chili burro, enchilada style. James said it was not nearly as good as the one he gets at LaCasita. After lunch we stopped at the Church's Distribution Center. Their computers are down so I had to use cash to pay for my purchases. I bought a new robe, veil, sash, and apron. The men's and women's new robes and aprons are the same.
James helped me do the shopping at Walmart but when we left I was a little upset because he had complained so much. We got into a bit of a tiff and were quiet for awhile until I decided I would offer to read, which I did. "Beyond the White River: is a compelling story and we are "in to it."
Once James brings in the groceries and I put them away, we take short naps. We finished "Beyond the White River" and now we need to pick a new book. It did have a good ending although we both thought it ended rather abruptly.
While James was outside working, digging water lines in the backyard he got the call from the doctor that we have been waiting for. He sent me this text: I got the results back. They took 18 samples. All areas were positive but one. We won't know how aggressive the cancer is until the final lab work is complete on the morning of August 3rd.
This day will go down as one of our worst. I told all of the kids and they were so supportive. I also told Dennis, Denise, Harold and Vickie. Harold went through this same thing a few years ago and I thought maybe he could give James some advice.
I walked outside on the deck this evening. The sky over by Anthony's was so dark and I thought maybe it would come our way but it never did. We were on the wrong side of the rain tonight.
Game six of the NBA championship series did not end well for the Suns. They lost so their chance to win the championship is over. The Bucks are the new reigning champions.
I finished my book, "Fly Home to Me" and need to start a new one.
Read from 5 of my books before going to bed.
