The Imperfect Harvest

Elder Vern P. Stanfill

Of the Seventy

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught:

"I believe the Savior Jesus Christ would want you to see, feel, and know that He is your strength. That with His help, there are no limits to what you can accomplish. That your potential is limitless. He would want you to see yourself the way He sees you. And that is very different from the way the world sees you. . . .

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

I was up at 5 o'clock this morning. A good way to start my day. I am so grateful for prayer, the Book of Mormon and Come Follow Me and General Conference talks. I listened to Dave & Emily on "Don't Miss This" today. I liked this quote by Emily: "The place of deepest asking is where the believing begins."

James had a stressful day dealing with Samantha and Franc from Jerod Bowen's company. He spent an hour on the phone with Samantha trying to help her to understand the latest charges on the job. James's figures didn't coincide with Franc's. Franc got on the phone and began ranting and raving and threatening to sue. James just said, "Franc, goodbye." 

James contacted Jerod, who was out of town and said he would call him in the morning when he returned. 

Terry Tignor is supposed to be interviewed by the stake president tomorrow evening to receive the Melchizedek priesthood. Before he goes to the interview he has to have a Covid test since he has been sick.

The kitties continue to entertain us with their cuteness. James gets such a kick out of them and so do I.

I got a message from Springbok puzzles today. They are going to send me a new puzzle to replace the one with the missing piece. This makes me very happy. The puzzle I am working on right now, Broadway Musicals, is a Springbok.

We bought 18 eggs from the Crane's for $5 and then Chuck turned around and went to the dump for us and wouldn't accept any money.

James spoke with Mel Wilhelm about our bees. Mel asked him if the bees dived bombed him and James said yes. Mel then said that the bees have been Africanized which means that they are dangerous and will attack humans. I guess we have no choice but to destroy them.

The problem is our ladder won't reach the log where they are so James is going to have to build a platform to reach them. I suggested he hire someone to come in and get rid of them but he insists that he can do it himself.

Sheri texted tonight and asked us to pray for Alex. She calls him Xander. She said that Shayna dropped him off and said, "I can't help him." He pretty much had a meltdown and just poured it all out to Sheri. She is very worried about him and says he is suicidal. Not good news.
