My dear friends in Christ, the responsibility rests squarely upon each of us to follow the example of the Master and teach like Him. His way is the true way! As we follow Him "when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have the hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure." 


Restoration Proclamation
#9
With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles invite all to know - as we do - that the heavens are open. We affirm that God is making known HIs will for His beloved sons and daughters. We testify that those who prayerfully study the message of the Restoration and act in faith will be blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity and of its purpose to prepare the world for the promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We had prayer together before James left for the valley at 4:37 a. m. 
I got reports this morning on Sean Bowen and my friend Debbie who is Sister Bowen's ministering sister. Debbie has had Covid and now she is in the hospital with a high blood sugar. Not only is Sean in the hospital again with Covid related pneumonia and an ulcer, but his father, who was recovering in a care facility from cancer and Covid, passed away today. I think Heather is a bit overwhelmed and distraught. She needs help making decisions and handling her three young children. Thank goodness her mother is coming to be with her from California.  Tamara went to see Heather and helped her talk things through. Alicia, the bishops wife, is going to go with Heather to the funeral home to make arrangements for the funeral. I told Sister Crane, our compassionate service leader, that I would take a meal in on Monday. The ministering brothers are arranging to get Sean an oxygen tank for when he gets home.

While I was blogging August 30-31 today I watched "The Great British Baking Show." I finished season 2019 and started 2018.

James is on his way home from the valley. I called to see if he was going to stop at Burger House but he said he didn't go that way. His phone said that from west Phoenix it would be faster to go the Payson way. His phone didn't know this was a holiday weekend and the traffic would be horrendous. James and I seemed to have forgotten this too. I've been caught in that traffic before and it's bumper to bumper from Mesa to Payson.

 He said he also got behind a wreck. He was stopped for quite awhile and then for an hour or so he went about 8 miles per hour. Now he is stopped again. He left the job around 4:30 and got home at 9:53. He did stop in Show Low at Aliberto's to get me an Arizona burrito. I ate about a third of it before going to bed and saved the rest for tomorrow.
