"My Work Shall Go Forth" Introduction

October General Conference

'The Words of Christ and the Holy Ghost Will Lead Us To the Truth'

Elder Takashi Wada

"Matthew 11:28-30, in which Jesus said to His disciples:

'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." This was the first time I remember reading the words of Jesus Christ. Though I did not understand all the words He said, His words comforted me, lifted my soul, and gave me hope. The more I read His words, the more I felt like I should try the virtue of His words. I had never felt like I felt that day. I felt I was loved. I felt that Jesus Christ was someone I knew."

Up at five with pesky Tom. I'm actually feeling quite good. I used all of my individual study time this morning to study the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Later in the week I will study "The Living Christ", the Liahona, my RS lesson, "Heart of the Matter", and "Forgiving What You Can't Forget." I am also writing a letter to Rowan about serving a mission. I intend to write one to Joshua and Evan too.

I did three blog posts today, January 16th, 17th, and 18th. By the end of the week I should be all caught up. 

We got lots of mail today. James got his battery operated chainsaw. He tried it out and he loves it! We got lightbulbs, and I got my D&C study guide, and we got our Memoforce pills which are supposed to help with memory loss. James got his zipper kit but he says the zipper in his coat in unfixable so he is getting rid of it.

James put knobs on my desk drawers. Thanks honey. I renewed his commercial contractor's license, scheduled our week at the timeshare, and played "pinky" with Tom. I watched "Wicked" on my phone while I was working on my computer. I dusted blinds, vacuumed up James's sawdust from using his chainsaw, he had it all over him, and worked on a 2025 budget notebook. It was a busy, productive day!

My amaryllis are blooming!
