"We are given the scriptures to direct our lives. My message today consists of a selection of the words of our Savior - what He said."
I got up before 4 a.m. to finish preparing my lesson on ministering. Because of the topic I feel that there will be a lot of discussion today, which is what I want.
James went to ward council this morning which meets at 7:30. I left around 8:30 and I feel ready to lead a discussion on ministering.
The Flake family were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. Cole and Lily were the youth speakers and Crystal and Preston were the adult speakers. By the time it was Preston's turn to speak there was no time left so he just bore his testimony. He had worked a 12 hour shift at the hospital last night and was extremely tired. James and I had been watching him during the meeting trying to stay awake. I think he was relieved he didn't have to give a 15 minute talk.
Relief Society went well except for the fact that Millie Scott was crying after the meeting. She had made a comment during the lesson about visiting a ward in Mesa with her daughter and they had assigned people to take in pizza to people who needed a meal. I made the comment that I had done that this week (not ministering but to the missionaries) and she thought she had offended me. It took me about 15 minutes or so to convince her that I was not offended. I ended up telling her the entire story and then she felt better.
James was already preparing lunch when I returned home. We had stew and corn and salad. It all tasted good. After lunch James mixed up a batch of Nutella fudge and we both took naps while the fudge set up.
We got a text from Dawn today. Becca and Tim's twin girls were born today. They are naming them Kathryn and Elizabeth. We assume that Kathryn is named after James's mom as that is how she spells her name.

This makes 7 kids for Tim and Becca. This week Gail is taking care of the 5 other kids and making sure they get to all the places they need to be.
This evening James shared his cancer miracle with the kids and I shared my findings regarding 1 Nephi 4.
