Alma 46:12

Review

October General Conference

"Jesus Christ is the Treasure" by Elder Dale G. Renlund

I have a cough and a sore throat this morning and won't be able to attend my meetings which makes me very sad. James went without me. I missed Brother Peeler speaking in sacrament meeting. He is one of my favorites. Such a dear, sweet man. I wonder how Donna is doing?

When James returned home he fixed me some Campbell's chicken and rice soup for lunch. Usually this tastes so good to me when I have a sore throat but this time it tasted blah. I couldn't eat it.

James spent much of the day indexing. We also watched several Mormon Messages. The first we watched was "The Furnace of Affliction." Wow! Some people have overcome such amazing trials and come out on the other side with such strong faith. My trials seem small compared to the woman who lost her husband and children to cancer.

We watched the story of Brent Taylor and his death as he was serving his country. He left behind a wife and seven children. Aaron Lambson's first marriage was to Brent's sister Michelle.

We watched a YSA fireside put on by Elder and Sister Holland and the one Sister Nelson and President Nelson did where he reminded the young adults what their main identifiers are:

A child of God

A child of the Covenant

Disciples of Jesus Christ.

Sister Nelson had the young adults ask themselves the question:

What would a holy young adult do?

So good!

Stacy called today. No only is Paul sick but she is sick and Adam tested positive for Covid. I am afraid James is going to get whatever I have because he keeps kissing on me.

I haven't done my hair since I washed it on Friday. I'm a mess. I watched two Christmas movies:

"A Biltmore Christmas" with Joy Beth Lenz & Kristopher Polaha

"My Christmas Hero" with Candace Cameron Bure & Gabriel Hogan

James and I watched the last one together. They were both great movies!
