"We Have Entered Into a Covenant with Him"

April General Conference

"The Powerful, Virtuous Cycle of the Doctrine of Christ" Elder Dale G. Renlund

'Spiritual momentum is created "over a lifetime as we repeatedly embrace the doctrine of Christ." Doing so, President Russell M. Nelson taught, produces a "powerful virtuous cycle."'

Walk with Him

"A Higher Joy" by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I had a 7 am appointment at Barnett-Delany-Perkins along with about 10 or 11 other people. We have all had cataract surgery but we still have vision problems. We are all sitting in chairs in a hallway with patches over the eye which needs the laser procedure. 

Dr. Knippers didn't arrive until 7:40 and we didn't even get started until around 7:50. The procedure takes less than three minutes and I was the third person. After the laser treatment we went back in to get our blood pressure taken before they dismissed us. 

James was waiting for me by the patient release door and I was around by the front entrance. I saw what I thought was our car and tried to get in but my key didn't work so I ended up calling him. He came around the building and off we went. 

I had given my Easy Pay card to James so he could get gas in the car. He handed me the receipt and said he wasn't sure it was right. The amount was $42.65 but the last four numbers did not match my Easy Pay card or any of the credit cards. When we got home James tried to call Circle K but no one answered so he left a message. I hope we can find out whose card we used so we can pay them back. I don't know what else to do.

I honestly feel like I can see better out of my right eye already. I'm grateful I had this laser procedure done.

I typed an invoice to Chacon for final payment for James this morning. As well as an explanation of additional charges. I emailed it to James and he emailed it to Chacon and Salvador. For some reason James can't email from his word processor, Libre.

We need a working printer. I think it may not be working because we don't have a colored cartridge. I spoke with an HP agent on May 2nd and we still have not received it. If it doesn't come today I am going to contact HP.

Hotdogs for lunch. Jared Ammon put together the TV stand for downstairs. He also filled the holes the horses made in the backyard. 

Here are some things I did today: 

Disputed the charge on my credit card for $36.98 and was given a credit. I then called SpringHill Marriott in Chandler to see if they found my Crocs. The girl at the desk, Stacy, looked in the lost and found and reported back to me that she could not find them. I thanked her, didn't say it, but thought, someone working at SpringHill has a new pair of Crocs. Afterwards I went on Amazon and ordered a new pair of Crocs.

I paid White Cap for the Landings job, wrote a check for the propane we had delivered, ordered a $146 gift card from Cheesecake Factory with points on my 5911 Visa. I also ordered Dish programming for downstairs. The installers will come tomorrow sometime between noon and 5pm. 

The first thing Jared Ammon asked me when I went into the kitchen to make dinner was, "did you talk to Dish?" Yes, Jared, I did.

I made parmesan crusted pork chops, fried potatoes, and green beans for dinner. I made the mistake of putting bacon in the green beans. Next time I won't do that because James likes them better without the bacon grease.

Tom was in and out today. He did come in at bedtime and slept at the end of our bed on his "new" blanket. 

I have a funny story to tell that actually happened yesterday.

James had just taken his shower, getting ready for church. He had a white top in his hand and said: "I don't think this garment top has any markings. I looked at it and I could not see any markings either. I told him to get another top to wear to church and we would deal with this later. We would return the top when we went to the valley the next time. How could this have happened? It seems like they would be more careful.

After church I looked at the top again and noticed the label, Sweet Salt. What? Is the Church contracting out the making of garments now? I looked again and realized this was not a garment top, but the small white T-shirt I wear under one of my tops. I laughed and told James. He said but look at this top, I can't see markings in it either. I held the top up to the light and there were definitely markings. We had a good laugh. I told him it was probably my fault, that I had probably put my top in his pile of garments when I folded laundry. I will be more careful from now on. I apologize to those wonderful people who sew the garments, for thinking you were neglectful.

This cat has no shame.
