I need to apply my heart to understanding God's word.

April General Conference

"Foreordained to Serve" by Elder Steven R. Bangerter

'Today I reaffirm strongly that the Lord has asked every worthy, able young man to prepare for and serve a mission. For Latter-day Saint young men, missionary service is a priesthood responsibility. You young men have been reserved for this time when the promised gathering of Israel is taking place . . . '

D&C 109:14

And do thou grant, Holy Father, that all those who shall worship in this house may be taught words of wisdom out of the best books, and that they may seek learning even by study, and also by faith, as thou hast said;

As part of our gospel study this morning we watched the Book of Mormon video on Abinadi. I wonder if I would have been as brave as he was. He stood alone and he stood as a witness of Jesus Christ.

I fixed bacon and eggs for breakfast this morning for everyone. Of course I only had bacon. I made a grilled cheese sandwich for Jared Ammon for lunch and for dinner I bought him a carne asada burro at Filiberto's for dinner.

I walked outside this morning for a little while. The weather was perfect.

I spent several hours trying to fix our printer so it would print. First I spoke with Microsoft support. They were very helpful but after doing everything they knew how to do they said I needed to contact HP support because it had to be a printer problem. I never got to speak to anyone. I did use the HP Smart app and downloaded HP print and scan doctor. I think I got the printer to work but who knows if it would be consistent.

Jared Ammon slept downstairs but he is using the TV upstairs. As soon as James get the TV stand that we bought for downstairs put together I'm going to have Dish connect the TV downstairs. Oh yes, he saw a bat while he was upstairs. I hate bats. Thank goodness they hibernate all fall and winter.

Around three this afternoon we all went into town to do some shopping. There had been an accident at the 3144 intersection. A red Jeep was turned upside down in the middle of the road. There was another red car involved but I couldn't see how badly it was damaged. I was a little worried because our friends, Gary & Maxine Thompson, who live near the 3144 turnoff own a red Jeep. I said a prayer that it would not be them and if it was them that they would be okay.

It was overcast and rainy when we got into Show Low. Rain wasn't really in the forecast. James let Jared Ammon and I out at Walmart while he went over to Home Depot. We got a little wet in the rain.

I bought quite a bit of meat. I guess because Jared is here: Sausage, bacon, stew meat, two lbs. of hamburger, and some pork chops.

On the way home from Walmart we went through the drive-thru of Filiberto's. I got a bean burro and Jared Ammon got a carne asada burro. James said nothing sounded good to him. He did admit that the beans in my bean burro were quite tasty.

Jared Ammon has a cough and a sour throat and didn't feel like doing much today. Tom is still afraid of him.

I started watching an old mystery series on Hallmark Movies Now called Carter starring Jerry Connolly. I liked it all right until I realized some of it was inappropriate as the two main characters had a conversation about who they had slept with, so I quit watching it. Pretty racy for a Hallmark show.

Tom slept inside tonight. He loves his 'treat' and to have his back, head, and tummy rubbed. He still sleeps on James's blanket on the bed. It makes me happy.

Teach by the Spirit

"Powerful gospel teaching requires not just preparing a lesson but preparing yourself spiritually to hear and follow the guidance of the Spirit as you teach." (Teaching in the Savior's Way, p. 17)

When we were on the "Chunky Monkey" diet we drank
