Happy And Forever
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Our joy becomes full as we feel Jesus Christ's grace and forgiveness for us. And as we offer the miracle of His grace and forgiveness to each other, the mercy we receive and the mercy we offer can help make life's injustices just.

100 Favorite Verses
Mark 4:39 Peace Be Still
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
*The Savior cares enough to calm our personal storms and terrors and rebuke our demons of pain, sorrow, illness, disappointment and sin. He can bring peace to our troubled souls.
Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."
We got more snow today. We had planned a trip to town, leaving at 10:15 so we could be back by 2:15 when Dr. Powell is supposed to call James. I thought maybe we needed to take the truck because it has four wheel drive and I was worried about getting up our hill. James looked at his weather app and said: "It's suppose to stop snowing at 11:00 so I think we will be okay to take the car." What a relief. I don't like riding in the truck.
Our first stop was at Goodwill to get rid of all of those bags out of the back of my car so we will have room to fill the back up with groceries. We next turned in at LaCasita where we hoped to have lunch. There was lots of snow on their hill and we couldn't make it up. (Maybe we should have brought the truck). We came back down the hill noticing there were no other cars in their parking lot. We drove on to Circle K and got gas and then discussed where to go for lunch: Panda, Alibertos, or Firehouse. I told James to choose and he chose Firehouse. That is fine with me. I like their food I just think they are very expensive. We each had a small sub, no chips, and I ordered a medium drink. It was $18 for very little food. The biggest thing on our plate was the pickle.
James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to get some lights at Home Depot. I planned three meals for this week and then bought shrimp, pot stickers, and pot pies for fill-ins. James has asked for beans for his birthday dinner. He also wants an Eagle Brand pie. Easy peasy. I'm going to make cornbread to go with the beans and some cooked cabbage, one of his favorite foods.
When Dr. Powell called James came into the bedroom where I was resting because she wants me on the call with him. She had some good news but she also had some very bad news. The good news is that she says they got all of the cancer they were aware of before it spread. The bad news is they found evidence of another cancer growth. She went over treatment options, the first and most often used being surgery to remove the rectum and James having to use a bag for bowel movements. She said the prostate may be fused to the rectum because of the radiation burn and if so would need to be removed and he would also need a bag for urine.
The second option was radiation treatment at St. Joe's with their doctor who she says is excellent. She said they don't see burns like dad had from radiation.
The last treatment would be chemotherapy. Dad chose radiation and the radiation doctor will be calling him to set up appointments.
Wow! That was not what we expected to hear but in spite of the bad news we are calm and at peace. We know that the Lord is in charge.
My goal is to give all of my love and support to my sweetheart. He is my more favorite person in the world and I want him to feel of my love for him.
Kim saw Joy D. Jones at the Gilbert temple today. She lives in Gilbert now. I loved her conference addresses where she spoke about a sin-resistant generation and when she said if we loved the Lord enough we could overcome our weaknesses and imperfections. She is such an inspiration to me.
