"Opposition in All Things: Elder Mathias Held

D&C 109:21

And when thy people transgress, any of them, they may speedily repent and return unto thee, and find favor in thy sight, and be restored to the blessings which thou hast ordained to be poured out upon those who shall reverence thee in thy house. 

I woke up this morning with swelling in my lips and cheeks. It makes me look rather freakish. I have an appointment with Janna G. today to deliver her birthday gifts. I asked James if he would go for me. Of course he will. He made the delivery and left my cake carrier for Janna to use. Janna told him I was one of her favorite people and she thought of me as a second mother. That was very sweet.

I also had to cancel my temple appointment with Ruth Gale.  I took several naps today and pretty much stayed in my bedroom. I did speak with Stacy on the phone. She and Paul are coming up tomorrow.

 I listened to part of "Follow Him" today with Dr. Jenet Erickson.

Here are some of my notes:

Remember your covenants

Society benefits when people are accountable to God.

Don't listen to the chatter, listen to the data.

The theme of the Book of Mormon is Deliverance.

I also started working on my Relief Society lesson for next month. It's Elder Renlund's talk, "The Powerful, Virtuous Cycle of the Doctrine of Christ." 

The swelling has gone down in my face but I still have a square jaw. 

James and I walked this evening and listened to our book.
