October General Conference

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

I really love my electric throw and James loves his too. 

I listened to "Unshaken." Bishop Hunsaker also asked us to read a talk by Elder Holland from the October 2016 Priesthood session of conference, "Emissaries to the Church."  I started listening to this talk and I realized I remembered it. It was about home/visiting teaching, now called ministering. I stopped when Elder Holland began telling the story of the man who accidentally ran over his little boy. I just couldn't listen to that sad story again. I remembered what a great home teacher his friend was too him so I got the message. 

I started watching a series on my phone put out by PureFlix called "Going Home." It's the story of a hospice nurse who works in a hospice home called Sunset House where people go who are sick and going to die. It is sad but so good. After someone passes away that she has cared for she sits on her porch, watches the sunset, and talks to God. 

I also started listening to a book by Anita Stansfield that I read back in 2017 called "The Heir of Brownlie Manor." It seems vaguely familiar but I can't remember much about it. 

Chuck took our garbage to the dump today.  He didn't want to take any money but James insisted on giving him $5. James went to the post office and mailed the thank you card I wrote to Lois and Dawn for Christmas. He also finished a side of the stable. 

The stable that James built. He's not quite finished.

I made my recipe for Weight Watcher garden soup for dinner along with a salad. This is the soup you could eat as much of as you wanted and it was 0 points. It has carrots, onions, garlic, and cabbage in a tomato base with spices. It is delicious! James loved it too! Oh yes, it also had green beans and zucchini.

I reserved our week at Sheraton Desert Oasis. We check in on June 9th and leave on the 16th. 

James was supposed to have an elders quorum presidency meeting tonight but Chuck cancelled saying that Tom Patrick, the secretary, wasn't feeling well and neither was he. 

James and I walked and listened to "Lily of the Manor."

Today is the anniversary of Paul's dad, Gilbert's, death.
