"Let Doing Good Be Our Normal"
Elder Rafael E. Pino
Of the Seventy
We all have customs and traditions that are personal, from our family, or from the community in which we live, and we hope to keep all those that align with the principles of the gospel. Edifying customs and traditions are fundamental to our efforts to stay on the covenant path, and those that are an obstacle, we ought to reject.
"The Eternal Principle of Love"
Elder Hugo Montoya
Of the Seventy
The eternal principle of love is manifested by living the two great commandments: love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself.
I was up at 4:52 today. My goal is 4 a.m. James slept in until 7:30. He blames it on his neuropathy meds. He says they make him drowsy.
After scriptures, prayer and breakfast, James worked at the dining room table and I worked at my desk in the bedroom. I finished cleaning out the file cabinet in my upstairs office and James carried it downstairs into our bedroom.

We had leftovers for lunch and then took a nap together. James got up from his nap and said he had to go to town to get some materials. He wanted me to go with him but I told him I wanted to do some painting this afternoon. I also walked, blogged, and made a cream cheese, Eagle Brand pie for tomorrow. I am trying to Fast but we haven't said our prayer yet and so I rationalized that we really hadn't started fasting yet. Why is it so hard for me. The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. One of the reasons I need to fast is so that my Spirit has more control over my body.
While I was painting I watched a Christmas movie: "Lights, Camera, Christmas." James came in and we read a chapter from our book while we walked and then we watched, "A Maple Valley Christmas" starring Andrew Walker, one of my favorites.
James said a prayer and our fast prayer. We are fasting for our adult grandchildren. Out of 14 adult grandchildren, only Autumn and Addy attend church. I also prayed for James's health, my self-discipline, and that Rowan, Joshua, and Evan would prepare for missions by reading the Book of Mormon and praying. I put five grandchildren's names on the temple today and will do five more each day until I have all of the adults and then the three boys, Joshua, Evan, and Rowan.
