And They Sought To See Jesus Who He Was
Elder James W. McConkie III
Of the Seventy
The four emphasize the spiritual importance of community and fellowship. In order to bring their friend to Christ, each of the four must carry their corner. If one lets go, things get more difficult. If two give up, the task effectively becomes impossible. Each of us has a role to play in the kingdom of God. As we fill that role and do our part, we carry our corner. Whether in Argentina or Vietnam, Accra or Brisbane, a branch or a ward, a family or a missionary companionship, we each have a corner to carry. As we do, and if we will, the Lord blesses us all. As He saw their faith, so will He see ours and bless us as a people.

Building A Life Resistant To The Adversary
Elder Jorge F. Zeballos
Of the Seventy
I pray that we may continue to build our lives following the plans and technical specifications of the divine design authored by our Father and achieved through our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thus, because of the grace that reaches us through the Atonement of our Savior, we will be successful in constructing a life resistant to sin, resistant to temptations, and strengthened to endure the sad, difficult times in our lives. And furthermore, we will be in a condition to access all the blessings promised through the love of our Father and our Savior. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

D&C 136:23
Cease to contend one with another; cease to speak evil one of another.

James left for ward council this morning before 7:30. We had family prayer before he left then I went back to sleep for a little while. Right after he is finished with ward council it will be time for Sacrament meeting and then Elder's Quorum where he is conducting. Chuck and Gary are both home with ailments or sickness.

I went on YouTube and watched a talk by Sheri Dew and then one by Wendy Watson Nelson. I felt spiritually fed. I also watched the first episode of Season 3 of The Chosen and part of the second episode.

When James got home he fixed us some egg salad sandwiches for lunch. They were yummy! After we ate and he cleaned the kitchen, he came over to the couch where I was and laid his head in my lap and took a nap. I am feeling better today but still not 100%.

This afternoon I went in to the computer and worked on my blog. I posted for Tuesday, March 7th and Wednesday, March 8th.

James had a struggle this afternoon. He was doing indexing and realized he needed more help or he was never going to meet our ward goals. He tried to go onto LDS Tools to get phone numbers but he messed up his password and it started a chain of most unfortunate events. I tried to help him but I'm afraid I wasn't much help. He even got a message that said; "Have your parent help you with your password." He finally gave up and said he would try again tomorrow. He is also having some internal pain from his procedure.

This evening I watched next week's episode of "Don't Miss This."

My friend Catherine checked on me today to see how I was doing. When I told her earlier I had a sore throat she gave me a home remedy that seemed to help. Today I told her I had a cough and she gave me another home remedy. Honey with a touch of cinnamon warmed so it slides down your throat.

I slept in my own bed tonight with my sweetheart. It feels so good.
