"In Awe of Christ and His Gospel"

Elder Ulisses Soares

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

When we truly are in awe of Jesus Christ and HIs gospel, we are happier, we have more enthusiasm for God's work, and we recognize the Lord's hand in all things. Our study of God's word is more meaningful; our prayers, more intentional; our worship, more reverent; our service in God's kingdom, more diligent. All these actions contribute to the Holy Spirit's influence being more frequent in our lives.

I had cake for breakfast. James had some too. He had to cancel his concrete on May 31st and isn't allowed to order more yet. It is a frustrating system the concrete company has. 

James made another trip to town today to have bloodwork done. On the way home he stopped at Panda and instead of getting orange chicken like I asked, he got wok-seared shrimp. He said they were out of orange chicken. Interesting. We mixed the shrimp with the package of Taylor Farms noodles and veggies. After eating and then nap time James went outside to work on the sprinkler system for the backyard. 

I am going to make a scrapbook of all the cakes I have made and so I began running off pictures today of the cakes I have made and of Courtney's cakes that I want to make. 

I've been a little concerned because the last couple of cakes I have made have been quite crumbly. I began doing some research to find out why. Too much flour, overbaking and overmixing are all reasons for crumbly cakes. Hmm, I could be guilty of all of these things. I must give more attention to detail. 

I cut James's hair tonight. He wants to look good for our temple shift tomorrow. We were in bed before 10.
