"Daily Restoration"
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
We need an ongoing, daily infusion of heavenly light. We need "times of refreshing." Times of personal restoration.
Restoration Proclamation
#6
We decalre that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, organized on April 6, 1830, is Christ's New Testament Church restored. This Church is anchored in the perfect life of its chief cornerstone, Jesus Christ, and in His infinite Atonement and literal Resurrection. Jesus Christ has once again called Apostles and has given them priesthood authority. He invites all of us to come unto Him and His Church, to receive the Holy Ghost, the ordinances of salvation, and to gain enduring joy.
Inklings
Our individual efforts don't necessarily require money . . . they do require the guidance of the Holy Spirit and a willing heart to say to the lord, "Here am I; send me."

Up at 3:57. Study, pray and try to be quiet because James is still asleep. By 8am I'm ready for a nap. It's going to take awhile to get used to this schedule. I hope I'm getting enough sleep. This morning at 9 I listen to Emily and Kristen Andrus on Inklings. Kristen and her husband are the former owners of Traegger's. Now it has gone public. Kristen talks about helping those in need and giving service. She is very involved in Utah in helping refugees and others in need. She says there are five steps to mentoring: 1.) Make room. Find someone to serve and let them in to your life as they let you in to theirs. JustServe.org, listen to the Spirit, phone ministry.
2.) Create Connections - Be friendly all of the time. Connect with others on their terms. Invite. 3.) Sitting in peoples stories. Listen...this is where you heart changes. One loving adult can make a difference. Don't fix, just listen. 4.) Dig Deep - Even if it's hard, do it anyway. Show up. The Savior's love will come through you.
5.) Village building. Delegate. If someone needs a dentist, call your dentist friend and ask for help. Kristen's 9 year old daughter gave her mattress to a single abused mom and her baby. Build a team and invite others into the story.
Wow! This was so inspiring! As I listened to Kristen talk about the service she has given.
James borrows Pierce's 3 ton truck and dump trailer to pick up some cinder sand at Perkin's to fill in the pipelines. He doesn't want to just throw the dirt back in because of the amount of rocks in it. He says the rocks will push against the pipes and cause leaks.
I left around 12:30 this afternoon to go into town to pick up James's prescriptions as CVS. Their drive-thru is closed so I go inside and wait in line. The cost is $120 but these are medications he has to have.
I also went to Safeway to get flowers for Catherine H. I also got her a chocolate eclair. When I gave it to her she said, "Oh these are my favorite." She liked the flowers too. While visiting she mentioned that she had been in the hospital on Monday. Her back has been bothering her. She wants to get a back brace and I told her we had one she could borrow. If it doesn't work for her, she will order one.
We had a nice visit and talked about what a beautiful day it was. Around 70 degrees and very little wind. Kerri is teaching at Show Low junior high today. Kerri and Catherine are speaking in sacrament meeting on Sunday.
On the way home I stopped at the post office and picked up the mail. Chatted with Sister Diewald for a few minutes. By the time I get home I need another nap. Afterwards I feel pretty great and decide it's time to get some more steps. I finished my Netflix movie, "A Perfect Match" while walking. I also listened to my book, "Charming Artemis."
Later after dinner, James and I read from our book, "The Matchmaker's Lonely Heart." I tell him about the problem I'm having finding a particular piece for the ice cream puzzle I'm working on. He tries to find it and decides it must be gone.
looking for better not be missing.
I checked the floor.
As part of my clean my closet campaign. I took one box out of the closet and sat it by my desk. I got a garbage back for throw away and two more boxes, one for put away, and one for give away and began organizing and sorting. I also filled my Goodwill tote to be taken to Goodwill in the morning when James goes to his treatment.
While I was walking and James was working on the puzzle we watched a Netflix movie, "Midnight at the Magnolia." I loved it and James really liked it too.
I want to make a cake with drips
Happy Birthday!
