Jesus Christ, Prophecies about
2 Nephi 10:3
Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ - for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be his name - should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify him - for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God.

Of the Seventy
In each ward and branch we need everyone - those who may be strong and those who are perhaps struggling. All are necessary to the vital edification of the entire "body of Christ." I often wonder who we are missing in our various congregations that would strengthen us and make us whole.


The Articles of Faith

We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.

Matthew 14

between now and when He comes again...we will see miraculous indications" - Russell M. Nelson
"And when Peter was come down out of the ship He Walked On the Water" - Matthew 14:29

Today was my most miserable day since getting Covid. I am pretty miserable. Thank goodness James felt a little better today. He asked the bishop for permission to do the sacrament here at home. He took a shower and got dressed in his Sunday best before preparing the sacrament. I am very grateful for him.


After the sacrament James made us egg salad sandwiches for lunch.
He really is my hero.

We had several people "check in" on us today. Collin, Barbara, Kathy, Jared, Stacy, Trina, and Sheri. 

Today is Molly's 12th birthday and Darrel and Trina's 18th anniversary. 

Yesterday was Pierce's birthday. I wished him a happy birthday and also wished Kathy, his cousin, a happy birthday. Kathy's birthday is on the sixth and Pierce's is on the 7th. He was born four years after Kathy. We have been friends with Kathy for years but with Pierce only a couple of years. Both of them are two of my very favorite people.

Sister Brown taught Relief Society today and I heard several comments about how well she did. I asked Tamara if we could please see if the bishop would approve calling her for the permanent teacher. Hopefully this will happen before next month. 

The only thing that really tastes good today is the ice cream bars that Barbara brought me. James says they aren't good for me but I beg to differ. 

I'm pretty sure I'm learning about long-suffering this week. 

Stacy made it known to the family about Michael's car being damaged by the towing company who towed it when it was broke down. Hopefully he can get some help and they will feel compelled to fix the damage they did.

I slept about half the day today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.


Happy Birthday Molly!

Jared did a great job with today's photos!
