President Joseph F. Smith spoke of the inner strength of  pioneer women, saying: "Could you turn one of these women away from their convictions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Could you darken their minds as to the mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith? Could you blind them with reference to the divine mission of Jesus Christ, the Son of God? No, never in the world could you do it. Why? Because they knew it. God revealed it to them, and they understood it, and no power on earth could turn them from what they knew to be that truth."

Christmas is sneaking up on me, so much to do, so little time. I have been thinking a lot about our family Christmas party and how to make it a little more meaningful. Before we start our gift exchange, I want to share my testimony of the Savior with them and challenge them to get to know him better through prayer and scripture study. I shared this idea with James and he liked the idea.

James had an appointment with Dr. Ellsworth, the orthopedic doctor, this afternoon. He took the blower and lights with him to take back to Home Depot. 

The doctor didn't think the knee was seriously injured. He said the swelling had gone down since the x-ray was taken which means it is getting better. He did offer to drain the knee but James declined. 

James brought me a Slinger, (small chicken sandwich from Sonic). I was in the bedroom walking and watching a Christmas movie when James arrived. I was also working on my blog and wrapping gifts. I am behind in both areas. 

James is a little discouraged right now. Because of complications with the city of Casa Grande he had to get workmen compensation insurance and put Bob Joye on his payroll. This is because Bob was working on his airport property and was stopped by the city saying that the contractor or someone who works for him is the only one who can be working on this project. It is Bob's property but he can't work on it? It is a frustrating situation but the city shut the job down so James and Bob have no choice but to comply.

We started a new book today, "The Undaunted" by Gerald Lund.
