Nourishing And Bearing Your Testimony

Elder Gary E. Stevenson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Your testimony is a most precious possession, often associated with deep spiritual feelings. These feelings are usually communicated quietly and described as a "still small voice." It is your belief or knowledge of truth given as a spiritual witness through the influence of the Holy Ghost. Acquiring this witness will change what you say and how you act.

It was very windy this morning when I got out of bed. I was afraid for Erik and his family out in their camp trailer. They appeared pretty steady though when I peered out the window.

Erik didn't want to hunt in the wet weather so they decided to go home. They came over to say goodbye before they left. I am so glad they did. I had been feeling like we neglected them and it was difficult when the kids came over to have to keep shushing them. We had a nice visit. I asked each one of the kids what they got for Christmas and what they liked to do. Aurora plays basketball, Mabel loves to draw, Oliver plays baseball, and Tabitha is just Tabitha, the youngest who loves attention. I really do like this sweet family.

James spent several hours working on the electrical problem. He has done everything Dave asked him to do and it is still not working. Thank goodness I know how this ends.

James has to go to town again and I make him so happy when I tell him I will go with him. After Home Depot we went to Burger King but it was closed so Sonic it is. James is really getting in to "The Undaunted" which is a story of the Saints in the late 1800's and settling southern Utah.

Stacy told me about some phobias she has working in other people's kitchen so I went in and wiped everything down and made sure all of the dishes were done. She did go in and make a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches for Joshua and Paul but for dinner they all went to La Casita and then Safeway to get more Prego sauce.

They left the dogs here and surprisingly Sophie didn't bark at me. Maybe she barks at me because she is protecting Stacy. Stacy put her in "time out" a few times. Time out is behind the downstairs door where she whines and cries.

This evening James had a ministering interview at the church with John and Curtis Wilhelm. After the interview they talked about wrestling. The Wilhelm's boys are all wrestlers and their daughter Ruthie also. 

I did my nightly ritual, watch movies, walk, and write on my blog.

Charlie has the right idea and

she's ahead of the game.
