Mosiah 2:9

My brethren, all ye that have assembled yourselves together, you that can hear my words which I shall speak to you this day; for I have not commanded you to come up hither to trifle with the words which I shall speak, but that you should hearken unto me, and open your ears that ye may hear, and your hearts that ye may understand, and your minds that the mysteries of God may be unfolded to your view.

October General Conference

"The Power of Jesus Christ in Our Lives Every Day" by Elder Joaquin E. Costa

I still can't lift my right arm but at least it's not throbbing. The guys fixed their own breakfast. They are getting good at doing that.

I caught up on some Hallmark movies but still haven't watched "When Calls the Heart" because I know Elizabeth breaks up with Lucas. Maybe later.

James and I are looking in to going on a mission in spite of our health and financial situation. What convinced us? Jared's text during Elder Rasband's conference address and the lessons on Sunday in our ward.

I made a meatloaf this afternoon and stuck it in the oven. James wanted me to go to town with him so I asked Jared to take the meatloaf out when the center reached 145 degrees, in about an hour.

He said he would.

On the way to town we listened to "Educating Elizabeth". We stopped at Kay's Lumber right at closing time, 5 p.m., so James could place his order. When he came back to the truck I told him my mom would have been upset if someone came in our grocery store right at closing. His comment was: "Oh, with the order I placed for $1,600 they don't mind."

We went out to Linden behind Dennis's house to return the lawn blankets James borrowed. I felt funny not going in and saying hi to Dennis but James was in a hurry and I wasn't really groomed to see any one.

We went to Firehouse Subs and split a medium Hook & Ladder. We figured Jared was at home eating meatloaf so we didn't get one for him. James went in to Home Depot while I ate my sandwich and then we stopped at Tractor Supply to get horse feed.

Jared too the meatloaf out, ate a little, and then went downstairs. I felt bad. I told James we need to plan on being home for dinner so we can spend that time together.

James walked and listened to "Educating Elizabeth" while I watched "Dancing with the Stars."
