Second Counselor in the First Presidency

Second, the Holy Ghost will come and abide with us. The Lord says that as we continue to be faithful, the Holy Ghost will dwell in us. That is the promise in the sacramental prayer that the Spirit will be our companion and that we will feel, in our hearts and minds, His comfort.

 I woke up this morning with swelling on the right side of my face from under my eye down to my mouth. James and I are trying to figure out what causes this swelling. I looked it up on the internet and found that swelling in the face can be caused by aspirin which I have taken as of late. I will not be taking anymore for awhile.

I took some Benadryl throughout the day which helped with the swelling. I went back to bed after taking Benadryl and Tramadol. I slept until 10:30. I got up, got dressed and went into the kitchen to fix some lunch. I made hamburgers with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup. Yummy.

I did some laundry and cleaned the kitchen while James worked outside. He is pretty upset because Armando said they failed two inspections at the 51st avenue job. The thing James is the most upset about is a failure issued by the fire marshall saying they have to have more sprinklers even though there is one in every room, they have to be in the hallways too. The sprinkler company says it could be up to a month delay. 

James tried to call Frank but he is at youth camp this week. I guess he is a member of the Church. Samantha says he is going to hit the ceiling. We shall see.

Brian had a 45 minute job interview with the woman who is doing the hiring for the job in Montana for managing 4 hardware stores. 

I asked Kim how it went and she said it went well. It is between Brian and one other guy. Brian isn't sure he wants the job. I told Kim he needs to go to the temple and she said he was going on Saturday. 

I want Brian to find a job but Montana is so far away.

James went over this evening to check on Brother Ellsworth's progress on the ramp and porch he is building for Barbara. He said he was doing a good job even though he, James, would have done it a little differently.

This evening James and I walked and listened to "An Amiable Foe"

Oh so that's what happened.
