Jesus Christ Is The Strength Of Youth

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

When you have important choices to make, Jesus Christ and His restored gospel are the best choice. When you have questions, Jesus Christ and His restored gospel are the best answer. When you feel weak, Jesus Christ is your strength.

He gives power to the weary; and to those who feel powerless, He increases strength.

They who wait upon the Lord will be renewed by His strength.

100 Favorite Verses - Remember That Christ Is Our Redeemer

Helaman 5:9

O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that He cometh to redeem the world.

Today was a beautiful day. The high was around 45 and there was plenty of sunshine and no wind. The perfect day to go see Catherine Halcomb who hates the wind.

Kathy Crane is my ministering companion. It has been so long since I have had an active companions I almost forgot how to act. I picked up Kathy and we drove to Catherine's. Catherine and Kerri had just returned from town. I mentioned what a nice day it was because there was no wind. Catherine agreed. Kathy, Catherine and I sat down in the living room to visit while Kerri went about what she was doing before we came. Catherine filled Kathy in on some of her background. She does need to have people to talk to because she loves to talk. When it was time to go I gave both Catherine and Kerri their valentines. As Kathy and I were driving home James called and asked if I would go to town with him. I said I would and that I was on my way home. 

Our first stop in town was Sonic to get our Slingers. Afterwards James went to O'Reilly's to get lug nuts for the trailer. Afterwards we went to Walmart and while we were in Walmart the guy from O'Reilly's called and said he gave James the wrong nuts so we had to go back after Walmart. I bought some more throw pillow at Walmart, these match the ones I previously bought and I put the blue ones I got yesterday upstairs on the couch. 

We finished our book "A Generation Rising" and began the sequel, "The Storm Descends" which is about Hans Otto Eckhart and what happens to him in Germany after World War I.

Tonight I opened up a Venmo account for Lambson Construction so we could pay Armando for some materials he was picking up for the airport job. We accidentally sent $560 to the wrong Armando. James's account got closed so I had to sent $560 to the right Armando from my account. James has tried to contact this Armando Ruiz who has a landscaping company in New Mexico but he has not answered. We requested $560 from him but still nothing. James says if he doesn't hear from wrong Armando soon he is going to go to New Mexico and look him up and demand his money.

I had no idea that the Superbowl was in Arizona but Catherine mentioned it today when we were visiting. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing. One of James's medical buildings he is working on is very near the stadium. Catherine says the price of gas is going to go up next week right before the 12th, the day of the big game.

Laura report:

Laura has had a rough two days. Her heart rate has spiked and won't come down so they are doing a cardioversion later today.

A cardioversion is a medical procedure that uses quick, low-energy shocks to restore a regular heart rhythm. 

Christina Hoose had her baby boy. They named him Asa River Hoose. He weighed 8 lbs and was almost 21" long. James reminded me that Asa was a righteous king in Israel.
