Book of Mormon 100 Favorite
Moroni 7:41-42
And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised up to life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise. Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope.

Introduction
October General Conference
"Seeing God's Family Through the Overview Lens" by Sister Tamara W. Runia"
I was up at 5 this morning. Monday is always a new beginning for me. I began by studying President Nelson's talk, "Think Celestial."
James thought Willy and Ralph were coming this morning to work and he would need to use the Cat which needed oil. He and Jared Ammon left around 6:30 for town to pick up oil only to find out later that Willy and Ralph wouldn't be coming. Willy didn't really say why but he is dependent upon Ralph.
I watched the first Christmas movie of the 2023 season. It's a GAF movie and a sequel to one I watched last year, "Destined 2: Christmas A Once More." It was filmed in Utah and Casey Elliott, a member of the Church who plays Satan in the temple movie and a member of the singing group Gentry is the male lead. His daughter plays his daughter in the movie. It was actually a very good movie and I really enjoyed it.
After going to town early this morning James came home and filled about 50 holes in the yard which Mr. Black Bull made. About an hour and a half later, he went to town with me. He dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Firehouse Subs to get us some lunch. He asked what I wanted and I said, "what I always get." We usually share a medium Hook & Ladder so I thought that's what he would be getting. The cost is $11.
As I started my shopping I realized that I left my phone in the car. Oh well, I think I can remember what I came to get. As I was going up and down the aisles doing my shopping I was surprised to see James at the end of the one of the aisles. He brought me my phone and helped me finish my shopping.
When we got out to the car there were two large drinks, two bags of chips, a small sandwich and a medium. Instead of spending $11 at Firehouse James ended up spending $28.81. I guess he was extra hungry.
We listened to "The Queen and the Knave" on the way home. For some reason I just can't get interested in this book. It might be because there are at least three different stories going on and I keep track of them.
The high today is 74 with lots of sunshine and no clouds in the sky. Not the way I like it. One of the things I love about living up here is how beautiful the clouds are.
Jared Ammon tried to fix the fence while we were gone to keep Mr. Black Bull out of the yard but I think if he decides to return he will just walk right through the wires which hold no electrical shock right now.
I did three blog posts today, texted with Sheri, worked on my lesson and listened to several conference talks. I fixed beef tips and mashed potatoes for dinner. It was quite delicious although the gravy was a little runny. Jared Ammon came into the kitchen from watching TV and asked if he could help me with the dishes. I told him it wasn't necessary but I really appreciated him offering.
James got a $3,500 check for consultation fees for work being done at the St. John's airport.
I watched a Christmas movie I saw last year this evening called , "A Christmas Present" starring Candace Cameron Bure. It was actually very good and she won some awards for the movie.
The D-Backs lost their first game against the Phillies.
