"Conversion to the Will of God"
Elder Quentin L. Cook
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
"In a remarkable discussion with my wise and exemplary older brother, we concluded that his decision on whether to serve a mission and delay his education depended on three questions: (1) Is Jesus Christ divine? (2) Is the Book of Mormon the word of God? and (3) Is Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration? If the answer to these questions was yes, it was clear that Joe could do more good taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world than becoming a doctor at an earlier date."
When I got up at 4 this morning the kitchen breaker was off including the refrigerator. I pushed the red button on the outlet to turn it back on.
While I was walking this morning James asked me if I could Zelle some money for Armando. For some reason Armando can't accept large amounts of money so he sends money to us when he gets paid. This time it was $23,000. He wants us to send $5,000 to when subcontractor and $1,150 to another. The first time I tried to send the $5,000 they locked our account. We talked to three different people before we got it unlocked again. They ask you questions to determing that you are legit. They give three addresses and ask which one you have been associated with. One was Kim and Brian's address and another was the house in Mesa on Elm St. that we owned. When the account was unlocked I tried sending the first amount and then the second. The second would not go through because they said $5,000 was our limit. I changed the date for the second transaction to go through to tomorrow, May 12th. I thought we were good. We shall see tomorrow.
James left after we thought we had the problem resolved for an appointment about Peeler's cabinets. After lunch I began watching an old movie from 1962, "Rome Adventure," starring Susan Pleshette and Troy Donahue. I forgot how cute Troy was. I really enjoyed the movie. I need to watch more movies on TCM. In 1962 I was a sophmore in high school and I am sure I saw this movie back then although I didn't remember much from it.
Later this afternoon I went downstairs to put sheets on the bed and make sure everything was in order. Kim is coming on Sunday and staying until Saturday and I want the room to be ready for her. I couldn't vacuum because I'm still waiting for my vacuum bags. I checked on them and they should be delivered by tomorrow. I hope FedEx knows where we live.
While I was downstairs I decided to look in the couch one more time for Paul's wallet. I took both cushions out and walla! I found it! I took a picture and sent it to Paul. He was so excited. He asked me if I would overnight it and I could have the money in the wallet to pay for it. I told him I would.
When James got home from his Elder's Quorum presidency meeting this evening we listened to a couple of chapters from our book, "Roxbury Heirs, Facing the Enemy." Afterwards he went in to index and I went in the bedroom to work on my blog. While I was in the bedroom I got a call from Sue Hubble. I am Sue's ministering sister. Sue's daughter Tabitha has a brain tumor and has been doing treatments at St. Joseph's hospital in Phoenix. When the treatments were finished Sue asked Tabitha if there was anything she would like to do or anywhere she would like to go. She said that she had always wanted to go on an Alaskan Cruise so Sue booked one for them. On the cruise Tabitha fell out of bed and cut a huge gash across her forehead. When the cruise was over and they were back in Phoenix, which was today, Sue called the hospital and told them all that had happened while they were gone. The doctor at the hospital asked Sue to bring Tabitha in so they could check her out before they came home to Show Low. Sue is so glad they did this. Tabitha had fluid on her brain and they immediately took her in to surgery. She was still in surgery when Sue called me. She said Jason, Tabitha's husband, prayed for the first time today. Sue told him it was a good thing that he did because they needed his prayers and Heavenly Father is the best partner you can have. Jason has no one else in his corner. He has no family or religious background. I thought Tabitha was a member but she is not. Sue found out that they live inside the boundaries of the Linden ward. She found this online. She tried to contact the bishop but so far she has not heard back. Not only do they need a walk-in shower but they need a wheelchair ramp as Tabitha is not walking on her own now. Hopefully the Linden ward will come through for them. This is Harold and Dennis's ward and I'm pretty sure that they would help.
I listened to BMC while working on my blog. I really like Tyler and Taylor. They are becoming one of my very favorite "Come Follow Me" presentations. I found my notebook today where I wrote down the headings of all of the chapters in the Bible.
I listened to two All In podcasts today. The first was with a judge, Thomas B. Griffith. The podcast was labeled, "Politics, Religion and the Lab of Christian Living. According to Brother Griffith the news on TV is not the news we should be listening to. He says we need to read The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the Washington Post. He said that Deseret News is another good source.
The second podcast was with Jon and Michelle Schmidt and was titled, "Grace Found in the Search for Annie." Their daughter Annie was hiking in the Oregon wilderness and never came home. They never gave up until they found her body. Their faith and perseverance were incredible. Michelle, Annie's mom, bore a powerful witness of the Book of Mormon. Jon is one of the Piano Guys. I didn't think I would like this one because I thought it would be too sad but I was wrong. I loved it.
My friend Pat Tedder fell recently and hurt her back. I called her today to see how she was doing. She says she is doing great, but I wonder. Pat is Janna Grombach's mom. Maybe I need to check with Janna.
James brought me ginger lemon tea before bed. It was delicious.
