Witnesses testify of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon
October General Conference
'The Man Who Communed with Jehovah'
Elder Kyle S. McKay
"For all the beautiful truths we might learn from that First Vision, perhaps Joseph's main takeaway was simply, 'I had found the testimony of James to be true - that a man who lacked wisdom might ask of God, and obtain.'"

'Embrace The Lord's Gift Of Repentance'
Elder Jorge M. Alvarado
" The Prophet Joseph Smith spoke of often feeling 'condemned,' in his youth, 'for his weakness and imperfections.' But Joseph's feelings of inadequacy and worry were part of what led him to ponder, study, learn, and pray. As you may remember, he went to pray in the grove near his home to find truth, peace, and forgiveness. He heard the Lord say: 'Joseph, my son, thy sins are forgive thee. God thy way, walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments. Behold, I am the Lord of Glory. I was crucified for the world that all those who believe on my name may have eternal life.'"

It's 9:42 and Tom is still asleep in the house which is highly unusual. He is usually up and outside by 7.

Sammy was waiting at the bedroom door this morning. I fed him and as I patted him on the back, he meowed.

James is feeling better but he slept in late this morning. Family prayer and scriptures and our day begins. James worked on laying bricks on the ground by the garage door. It was cold and windy outside. 

It was three years ago today that we lost our dear friend Barbara Goodman to complications from Covid. I still miss her and her great sense of humor and kindness.

I miss you Barbara and I love you

I worked on my scripture books, and my blog and took a shower. I had planned on going to town this afternoon. Tom is out of T-r-e-a-t-s. As afternoon approached, I changed my mind. There were other items on my grocery list but none that couldn't wait until Monday. James agreed and said we didn't need to go to town today.

I worked on my Relief Society lesson for next wee and then watched a Christmas movie while James walked. I guess you can tell where our priorities are. Oh yes, we also missed the Elders Quorum/Relief Society pie social tonight.
