Ministering
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Everywhere I go, I gratefully learn from those who minister and care as our Savior would.

I got up at 5:30 and decided I was going to look for the blood pressure cuff. I looked over by the side of the recliner in the bedroom and there is was sitting on the end table, cord and cuff hanging down.
I guess James doesn't always put it away.

Happy 18th Birthday Emmy!

I fasted for Jared Ammon today. I have such fond memories of him as a little boy sitting at my computer playing Freddy the Fish. When Adam got diabetes Jared came to stay with us. I was putting him to bed one night and he asked me: "Gwamma, why am I bwown?"
What do you say to a little three year old when he asks you that question. I tried to explain that his dad was brown and that was probably why he was brown. I told him that Heavenly Father loves all of his children, no matter what color they are. He was the sweetest little boy and I loved him so much.

Brother Skousen conducted his first sacrament meeting since being called as a counselor in the bishopric. He almost forgot the sacrament if it hadn't been for a reminder from the bishop. Other than that, he did fine. Testimonies born:
Chris Skousen - I testify that I feel the Spirit and recognize it in my life. I have a testimony of....
Teresa Smith - Tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of my baptism. I feel the Spirit when I go to the temple. President Nelson is a Prophet of God.
Charlotte South - The Savior would have shed 1,000 drops of blood if it was just for me. 
Bridgette Jordan - I want to thank the Young Women who took my family names to the temple for baptisms. My heart is filled with gratitude.
Donna Beckham
Donna's mother, Barbara passed away recently. Donna thanked those who helped her at this difficult time. 
Georgia Jameson (YW)
So grateful for the opportunity the young women of our ward had to go to the Mesa and the Gilbert temple this past week. I know that this Church is true.
Paula Johnson
Jesus loved us enough to give His life for us. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me. I am grateful for the prophet Joseph Smith and for the prophet today, Russell M. Nelson.
Alicia Hunsaker
The Mesa, Gilbert temple trip was wonderful. I am so grateful for President Nelson and I know that he is a prophet.
Lynn Wallace
I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the Restoration and that President Russell M. Nelson is the prophet today. I am also grateful for our bishopric.
I have lived all of my life in Buckeye until coming here.
Dennis McClellan
I testify of the power of prayer, especially in doing family history. This work is true.
Barbara Bartels Tignor
I bear testimony of the divinity of this Church. It belongs to Jesus Christ.

I made the mistake of sitting on the front row in Sunday School. I had my workbook, The New Testament Gathering Personal Insights open on my lap with my answers to each question written in the squares. Brother Applegate came over and ask if he could see it. He showed the class the workbook and said, "look at this, every question is answered." Then he asked me where I got it. I told him it was written by Shannon Foster, who is the Redheaded Hostess. She doesn't do a podcast but she does have a website. How embarrassing.

After Sunday School James left with Collin DeWitt to do an interview. He forgot to give me the keys to the car so I sat and waited for him in the foyer.

When we got home it was rest time. We got some dark clouds and thunder, but no rain. Later this evening I grilled some hamburgers for dinner. It was so nice outside. James was watering trees and his two kitties were following him around. He has been feeding them.

This evening I paid for a room at the Hilton in Chandler for tomorrow night. It's close to the mall where the Cheesecake Factory is located. I also arranged for Kim & Brian to pick me up after my infusion and then I will wait for James to get back from Glendale at their house.

I worked on my blog this evening but I am so slow. I also listened to next week's "Don't Miss This", featuring John 14-17.
