"The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" - Introduction
October General Conference
'The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again'
President Russell M. Nelson
"Regular worship in the temple will prepare us for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In the house of the Lord, we focus on Jesus Christ. We learn of Him. We make covenants to follow Him. We come to know Him. As we keep our temple covenants, we gain greater access to the Lord's strengthening power. In the temple, we receive protection from the buffetings of the world. We experience the pure love of Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father in great abundance! We feel peace and spiritual reassurance, in contrast to the turbulence of the world."
Michael and Namira left for home around noon. We are grateful for Michael's help and always enjoy his company.
I told Tom the doggies were all gone and he could go out and sleep on his chair but he was still a little wary. He could hear Ben & Cayli walking around upstairs and that scared him.
When James and I left for the valley on the 22nd, Kathy Crane had pneumonia. Now she is feeling better but Chuck has an even worse case than Kathy did. James offered to go to the dump for him today and Chuck was most grateful.
Trina texted me this morning and asked if I wanted them to bring anything up when they came. I responded with, "Are you coming up today?" Trina: "Oh, Darrel told me he asked you. I'm sorry, we don't have to." Me: "Please don't feel bad, you guys are the best! Please come! I just remember Darrel saying you might come up. I am pleasantly surprised that you are!" Trina: "It's just 4 of us, Addy and Ro are staying home. Can we bring you anything?" Me: "Could you bring fireworks and paper plates? Did I mention that Ben & Cayli are here? They will be your neighbors. Your room is ready and so is my office. Waiting for sheets to dry for James's office." Trina: "Oh shoot. Are they okay with us coming? I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you washed all the sheets, so much work for you." Me: "Ben and Cayli were happy that you were coming!" Trina: "Thank you, that's very sweet."
When I was working upstairs in James's office I heard Ben in the bathroom on that end of the house, which means the water in his and Cayli's bathroom is not hot. I told James and he lit the water heater we are having trouble with, that four bathrooms are connected to. The other hot water heater has the one bathroom upstairs, the laundry room and the kitchen.
When Darrel & Trina arrived I told them about the problem with the hot water heater. They didn't seem too concerned as long as the other water heater was working.
It was 7:30 when Darrel, Trina, Ruby, and Lola got here. It was a fun evening just relaxing with them. They had dinner at Sonic in Show Low so they weren't hungry.
Darrel and I were talking about the ASU vs. Texas game on New Year's Day at the Peach Bowl. I asked him what channel it was on and he said ESPN. I told him I didn't have ESPN so we tried to figure out what we needed to do to watch the game. Darrel said he has Hulu Live and he could "sling" it on to our TV from his phone. It's amazing what you can do now days. I told him we needed to try it tomorrow to make sure it works. He agreed.
Lola showed us her container of alcohol blending markers that she got for Christmas. There are 168 of them. Are there that many different colors? I showed her and Ruby my nail drying machine and all of the nail stuff I got from great grandmother for Christmas. They seemed to really like everything so I told them they could have everything since I don't ever do my nails. They seemed excited.
Darrel & Trina spent $35 on fireworks and a pretty big chunk of chain for the big stack of paper plates they bought. I tried to pay them, but they wouldn't let me.
Darrel, Trina, Ruby, and Lola were playing a game when James and I went to bed.
what Charlie was saying. I want to say to her:
"We are so excited to see you Charlie and
can't wait until you get here!"

Trina asked how the off-grid family was doing on
building their house so we watched their YouTube
channel. I couldn't help snapping this picture.
Look at their cat...he looks just like Tom!
