Jesus Christ, taking his name

D&C 20:37

And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism - All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.

1 Nephi 11:12-30

The Doctrine Of Belonging

Elder D. Todd Christofferson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

"The Savior invites us to come unto Him - no matter our circumstances. We come to church to renew our covenants, to increase our faith, to find peace, and to do as He did perfectly in His life - minister to others who feel like they don't belong."

Darrel, Trina and their kids are coming today and I have lots to do. Trina said they would be late and I did not fix dinner, so I put my chicken tacos on the back burner, so to speak.

James left early this morning for town to get his bloodwork done. He felt so bad that he came straight home, took a Tramadol, and went straight to bed. His knee is hurting and he says he hurts inside. He tried to go to work at Barbara's but didn't last long. He did go to the post office for me to mail Anna's birthday card and a letter to Evan and Rowan about tithing.

I spent the day cleaning. I vacuumed, dusted, swept, mopped,  and changed sheets. We still have our Christmas tree up along with the two wreaths, the one on the door, and the one on the beam in front of the fireplace. Otherwise, Christmas is put away until next year. Oh yes, there are a couple of blankets in the blanket basket. 

Darrel and Trina left their house around 5:30 and arrived here at 8:45. They stopped at Wendy's in Payson for dinner. Lola was the first to come in to throw away a Wendy's sack in the trash. She said she had a baconator hamburger, that's two hamburger patties with bacon. I asked her if it was good and she said, "NO! And my Mom thought I was going to have a heart attack. She said that Rowan ate his.

Of course the first thing Lola wanted to do was play a game. Addy had left a huge deck of Uno cards here and she and Trina played a game.

We all played Scattergories. James helped Lola and they did pretty well. Darrel won and Trina came in second. I probably came in last. I'm not very sharp when it comes to thinking of things under pressure. We had the letter P once and the first question was: A boys name. Rowan put, Parley P. Pratt for a triple. I guess Darrel had done this once. It was a lot of fun.

After our game everyone except James went and sat by the fire.

Trina was especially appreciative of the fire. She does not like the cold. As I was sitting and visiting I realized it was 11:00 and I needed to go to bed. I said good night and left. 

James was in the bedroom walking. When I told him what time it was he agreed that it was time to go to bed.

One other item of news this day... Charlie got a dog!
