"The Personal Journey of a Child of God"
Elder Neil L. Andersen
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
What is our responsibility as peaceful disciples of Jesus Christ? Let us live God's commandments, teach them to our children, and share them with others who are willing to listen. Let us share our deep feelings about the sanctity of life with those who make decisions in society. They may not fully appreciate what we believe, but we pray that they will more fully understand why, for us, these decisions go well beyond just what a person wants for his or her own life.
If an unanticipated child is expected, let us reach out with love, encouragement, and, when needed, financial help, strengthening a mother in allowing her child to be born and continue his or her journey in mortality.
The Articles of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
Inklings
May we don't always feel up to the challenge. But our Heavenly Father sees us as fearless builders of His kingdom. That is why He sent us here during this most decisive time in the world's history."
- Elder S. Gifford Nielsen
Barbara strikes again. Barbara is Pierce's wife and she is also my ministering sister. This time she made us a Ritz chicken casserole and some lemon squares. Lemon squares are James's favorite! I put the casserole in the over for 30 minutes and we had a nice lunch. Very tasty.
Our ministering brother, Collin took James's prints to the printshop. They have always charged us $5 before but this time they charged Collin $14. James called and complained and finally the guy said he would give a refund if Collin would come back. Collin was already back in Vernon. James called around and found that The UPS Store is much cheaper. He called back Allegra and told them he would not be doing business with them anymore. I venmoed the $10 we owe Collin to his wife Wendy because he doesn't have a Venmo account.
Chuck got our mail for us and there was alot!
The package on the bottom had the cutest teapot and cup and saucer I wanted to give to my friend Pam but when I opened it, the only thing still intact was the teapot, everything else was broken. Now I have to return this one and order another one. I can't return this one until I am over Covid. So frustrating.
I got a call from our next door neighbor, Kathy, Chuck's wife. She is going into town tomorrow and wants to know if there is anything she can get us. James told me to ask if she could get us some more Ivermectin and some AAA batteries. I told Kathy and said I would leave a $20 bill on the front porch tomorrow morning for her to pick up. I guess James is right, this really is the Zion ward.
The elders took Anthony his breathing machine and left it on his front porch. Hopefully Anthony will find it.
James also called and talked to his mom today about Covid and Cancer. He told her about the different treatments available for his cancer. He said he wanted to do the Hi-FOO treatment which is the high frequency ultrasound but that it cost $18,500. She offered to pay for it for him. Of course he said no but that was so sweet of her.
Started reading "The Blue Orchid Society: Inventing Vivien" with James. I think he is going to like it. I've already read it but I didn't tell him that.
For dinner I heated up Kathy's chicken noodle soup and added some ramen noodles and seasoning to it. I also made some cornbread. After cleaning the kitchen I went to bed around nine. James slept in the family room recliner because he coughed most of the day and he thinks it might be because he slept in the bed last night.
We got more rain today! Everything is so beautiful here!
will ever meet!
