Enos 1:4-5, 8
And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens. And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed. . . . because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou has never before heard nor seen. . .  Wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.

Up at 5:44. 
James brought me my cereal this morning. He tells me he is going outside to work and will be back for scriptures around 8:30. A few minutes later he comes in and puts his camo sweatshirt on. I asked where he was going and he said there was a big full elk on the other side of the fence and Jared Ammon wants to get a picture of him. Let the stalking begin. 

About an hour later James came back in to change clothes. Jared got his video. I saw it and it was a good one.

I watched one of my favorite recent Christmas movies called, "Inventing the Christmas Prince." The little girl in this movie, probably about six years old has such faith and belief in the Christmas Prince. She literally changes him with her belief.
So sweet. It makes me cry every time.

I knew I was going shopping this afternoon. I didn't want to have to come home and make dinner, so before I left I chopped up a head of cabbage I had, added three cups of ham, some butter and chicken broth and turned the crockpot on low. It will be ready in about four hours. 

As it turned out, we all went to town in the car. James dropped Jared and I off at Walmart while he went to Kay's Building Supply to get some more bolts. When James got back to Walmart Jared was waiting for him while I was still shopping. James picked up my prescriptions and then he and Jared went across the street to LaCasita to get some dinner while I finished shopping. 

On the way home we noticed a prescribed burn in Vernon. It upset both James and I. It didn't hit Jared until later when he smelled the smoke when we were at home. We won't be sleeping with the window open tonight. 

I am wondering why President Nelson called the Plan of Salvation the fabulous Plan of Salvation. I asked James and he said, because it is fabulous. I say because it is everlasting and eternal and the Savior is at the very center of it.
