Introductory Message

President Dallin H. Oaks

First Counselor in the First Presidency

Our Saturday sessions have a history of different purposes and different audiences. This evening we add to that history as we embark upon a new purpose and procedure for the foreseeable future. The gospel of Jesus Christ does not change. Gospel doctrine does not change. Our personal covenants do not change. But over the years, the meetings we hold to communicate our messages do change and very likely will continue to change over the years.

"Lessons at the Well"

Susan H. Porter

First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency

Five years ago my husband, Bruce, became seriously ill when we were serving with the consecrated Saints in the Europe East Area. We returned home, and he passed away only a few weeks later. My life changed overnight. I was grieving and felt weak and vulnerable. I pled with the Lord to direct my path: What would Thou have me do?"

I was up four times during the night. I turned the breaker switch back on two times. This is why I don't have any ice for my drinks during the day. 

James went into town this morning and mailed Paul's wallet and Jackie Hall's sympathy card. He had a meeting at Lowe's about the Peeler's cabinets. Owen had a doctor's appointment in town and afterwards he came over and was a part of the meeting. James brought me home wok seared shrimp, noodles and orange chicken. He got a Firehouse Sub for himself. 

I watched a new movie today, "Vineyard Romance." I also cleaned upstairs and called Millie Scott. I told Millie we were concerned about Amber and asked if she would talk to her about coming back to church and to Relief Society. She said she would and then she would report back to me. 

James figured up how much Rico still owes on her Deming account and it's a lot. I sent it to her via text. I hope she understands it better than I do. 

I started "Unshaken" today and finished it. It was over six hours long, but he covered every chapter. 

James worked outside this afternoon trying to connect the pump for the backyard to the well. I guess it's a process and is going to take some more time. 

I got a text from Sue Hubble one of the sisters I minister to.  This is what it said:

"So, an update. After 6 weeks of chemo/radiation the tumor has doubled in size. So it's very aggressive, 3 to 6 months. I am heartbroken."

Sue's 40 year old daughter Tabitha has a brain tumor and is only expected to live 3 to 6 months."

James came in for a break and we listened to a chapter from our book, "Roxbury Heirs, Vol. 1: Facing the Enemy.

I went upstairs and cleaned this evening. James put a new plug in the kitchen. Hopefully it will work and our refrigerator will quit going off.
