Put On Thy Strength, O Zion

Elder David A. Bednar

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

As we appropriately seek for the spiritual gift of eyes to see and ears to hear, I promise that we will be blessed with the capacity and judgment to strengthen our covenant connection with the living Lord. We also will receive the power of godliness in our lives - and ultimately be both called to and chosen for the Lord's feast.

100 Favorite Verses - "The Fulness of The Father"

D&C 93:19-20

19 I give unto you these sayings that you may understand and know how to worship, and know what you worship, that you may come unto the Father in my name, and in dure time receive of his fulness.

20 For if you keep my commandments you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace.

So much rain and water. James diverted water from the back yard to keep our basement from flooding. There is a stream running through the yard that looks like a little river.

This afternoon James met with the new accountant in Lakeside. Her name is Cheri Witt. We got her name from the Hunsaker's. He said he really likes her and that she is going to be less expensive that Oliver & Spencer.

After meeting with the accountant he went over to Show Low and met with the salesman at Horne Auto. A couple of hours later he came home with the Silver 2021 Silverado that he wanted. It is beautiful and has sideboards that come down when you open the doors. I love it!

While James was gone Sheri, Ben, and Evan arrived. Sheri had asked me which way to come and I hold told her through Payson. She said between Payson and Heber she went through a terrible snowstorm. I apologized but said it was better than coming through Salt River and having a big rock hit the top of your car. She agreed.

James sent me a picture of Show Low creek which is flowing over its banks. There is water flowing everywhere and he told me to tell Sheri to be careful coming down the Hunsaker's road because it is flooded out it at least two places. I told Sheri to stay in the middle of the road just like James said. She made it without even getting her car muddy.

Once Sheri got "settled in" she got out the M&M puzzle I got and began doing it. I had the 1,000 Easter Egg puzzle already out, the border pieces put together and the other pieces in four piles, A, B, C, D. The letters are written on the back of the pieces.

We worked on our pieces for awhile and then James and I went back to town to get my car which James left at Horne Auto. We stopped at Sonic and got Slingers and mozzarella sticks. We also got Evan a lemonade. When we got home Sheri had made hamburgers and hotdogs for the boys for dinner. She cooked them outside on the grill even though it was freezing outside.

Sheri, Ben and I played Five Crowns. Ben won with only 3 points the entire game. He got the points in the King round. I had 165 points and Sheri had 156. What a game. Sheri had been trash talking Ben before we started playing but it did her no good.

Evan got his drivers license this week and Ben is moving to Texas next week to work for a pest control company. He will be in Dallas which is only about 2 1/2 hours from Jared & Kacey. I hope he gets to see them.

James got a call from St. Joseph's hospital today. It was someone names Celeste and she said she had the results of his biopsy. I thought we had already receive the results when the doctor called last week and when the operating doctor said he could find no signs of cancer. Anyway, James missed the call and will call back tomorrow.

James built a fire so Sheri and the boys could make smores. Ben said he was too full so it was just Sheri and Evan. I actually roasted a marshmallow so I guess you can count me as part of the group.

Sheri and I were watching a Christmas movie, "Merry Measure" and James was watching it with us. He called someone a dork and Sheri said, "Hey, I'm the mayor of Dork Town." It was funny. .. I guess you had to have been there.
