Book of Mormon

19 - And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Blessed art thou, Nephi, because of thy faith, for thou hast sought me diligently, with lowliness of heart.
Come Follow Me

October General Conference
"Tithing: Opening the Windows of Heaven" by Elder Neil L. Andersen
Oops... I didn't get up until 5:18. I couldn't sleep last night.
I started using Emily's book, "And These Words" with my scripture study. I'm studying one word that I want to learn about. My word right now is "conversion."
I read an article in the Liahona about "Slow Reading."
Slow Reading allows us to notice things in the Book of Mormon that we wouldn't otherwise notice. Most important, it can help us see the Savior more frequently in this book that was written to testify of Him.
We woke up with 7 more inches of snow that we had yesterday. James started shoveling. He was expecting a call from the owner of the barbershop where he is doing the remodel regarding payment. Finally, he called and said he didn't have the money yet. James said he was going to stop the job, but he didn't. I am a little concerned. Kudos to Armando for handling this job.
One of James's main concerns today was helping Joe Vaal shovel his driveway and walkways. Joe said he gets up at 3 am and goes outside and goes to work. James and Greg Anderson, Joe's ministering brother are concerned about him doing this because he is 92 years old and has a heart condition.
James was pulling the trailer out of the gate and he got stuck. He was on his way over to Chuck's to borrow Chucks plow that connects to his ATV.
In the meantime James gets a call that Joe's granddaughter and some other people she recruited, are on their way to Joe's with a snow blower to clear off the snow. Thank goodness!
I listened to Barbara Morgan Gardner and Elaine Dalton this morning discussing Elder Soares talk, "Brothers and Sisters in Christ." Barbara told a story that shows how kind and unselfish some people are capable of being. Barbara said at a very busy time in her life when she was working on her Masters in Logan and driving to Provo to teach seminary she was driving to Provo one day to teach seminary and she was so tired she stopped to rest at a rest stop. It was cold outside so she left the heater on in her car. When she woke up her car was dead. She wasn't sure what she was going to do. She said about that time a car drove up, same make and model as hers.
A man got out and asked if he could help her. She asked if he had jumper cable. He said no, he didn't. She explained that she was on her way to Provo to teach a class and really needed her car. Barbara went in to use the facilities. When she came back out her car was running. She asked what he had done and he told her she needed to go so she would make it in time to teach her class. She thanked him and as she left she looked in her rearview mirror and saw him standing by the side of the car. Later she learned that he had taken the battery out of his car and put it in hers.
We had lots of snow on our front porch from this storm.
He hurt his back and thumbs, but like Joe, he just keeps going.
I put all of the Christmas boxes away downstairs. James takes the lights off the tree and I wind them and put tape around them and put them in a box.
When it was time for us to walk we listened to "A Hopeful Christmas." I also listened to "Lily of the Manor."
The sun today did not melt very much snow.
Derek Hough won his 4th Emmy on Sunday. This one was for the song "Higher" sung by Michael Buble. Derek choreographed a group dance for the song and it was performed on "Dancing with the Stars' when Michael Buble was a guest.
James made this Nutella fudge.
It has both walnuts and pistachios in it.
It is delicious!
