"The Covenant Path: The Way To Eternal Life"

Elder Adeyinka A. Ojediran

Of the Seventy

I testify that covenant keepers are promised "peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come" (D&C 59:23). I bear witness that as you regularly partake of the Savior's emblems through the sacrament, you will have His Spirit to guide you on the covenant path and stay faithful to your covenants. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

"Valiant Discipleship In The Latter Days"

Elder Jorg Klebingat

Of the Seventy

"True disciples of Jesus Christ," President Nelson taught, "are willing to stand out, speak up, and be different from the people of the world. They are undaunted, devoted, and courageous."

James is not going to his meetings today. He is in too much pain. At first he told me to go and come directly home so I could take him to the ER. A little later he said he needed to go to the ER now. Instead of getting ready to go to church, I got ready to go to the ER, wearing a sweater and skirt as if I were going to church. We had to stop at the church. I gave the two talks for the RS lesson to Natalie Robles and gave Gary Thompson the new ministering assignments to hand out in Elder's quorum. I hurried in and out before sacrament meeting.

Thank goodness the ER at the Show Low Hospital was not busy this morning. Here is a picture of James waiting to be called back:

Looks normal except for the sock

and of course the walker

When we go back we aren't in the room very long when a paramedic with a mask on walks in. She says hello and I look up and see a pair of eyes that look like Trenda Wilhelm Ellsworth and at first I think it is Trenda. I soon see the tatoo on her arm and I realize that it is Alice, Trenda's sister whom I remember is studying to be a paramedic. It is great to see Alice, a former Young Woman of mine and someone James was a home teacher to. We had a nice visit with Alice, we both love her and her family. It was great to see her!

A X-ray is taken and Dr. Lesonbe comes in to tell James that is left ankle is broken on one side and is sprained on the other. He is to wear a boot and use crutches for about six weeks. This isn't good news for James who is trying to finish up the Peeler job and is getting ready to start the Glendale Airport job. We have a boot, and crutches at home. The nurse said they called in a prescription to CVS for Tramadol, so when we leave we head to CVS. Of course it is not ready but they say they can have it ready in 30 minutes. I don't believe them so we head for home. About 7 miles out of town James gets a text that his prescription is ready so I turn around and go back. 20, 50mg Tramadol pills doesn't seem like enough, but we will take what we can get.

I get lunch for James and myself, give James some Tramadol and he goes in to take a nap. I try to rest but sleep doesn't come so I try to work on my blog. When James gets up it's almost dinner time. We have shrimp, cottage cheese and pineapple for dinner. I also make some pumpkin cheesecake muffins that are delicious! James says, "I'm having one of these for breakfast."

We watched an Up movie this evening called, "Plus one at an Amish wedding." Such a cute movie and I feel it was appropriate for the Sabbath.
