'His Hand Ready to Help Us'
Elder Juan Pablo Villar
"The scriptures immortalize the symbol and significance of the Savior's hands. In His atoning sacrifice, His hands were pierced by nails to affix Him to the cross. After His Resurrection. He appeared to HIs disciples in a perfect body, but the prints in His hands remain as a reminder of His infinite sacrifice. His hand will always be there for us, even if we cannot see it or feel it at first, because He was chosen by our Heavenly Father to be our Savior, the Redeemer of all humankind."

I woke up at 5 am with Tom staring in my face. He knows this is my time to get up and he wants something to eat. 

While I was in the kitchen getting something to eat, I noticed a text from Sheri. She wanted to know how dad's CT scan went and how my knee was doing. I told her we didn't hear from the doctor so we figured everything was okay with dad. My knee is still hurting. I am getting some medicine and then I'm going back to sleep, which I did with Tom beside me. 

I slept without interruption until 8 am. James was getting ready for church. It is apparent that I am not going. My ring finger is swollen about twice its size and my right knee doesn't bed without me physically moving it with my hands and waiting for it to pop. 

James had four ministering interviews scheduled today so he left a little early. Three of the people he had interviews with were no-shows. 

I missed Tyler Finnegan's talk before he leaves on his mission. Steve and Tina Allen also spoke. Steve talked about addiction recovery within Tina's family. Three or four guys from Waypoint attended, They sit in our spot. Should I be offended?

James administers the sacrament to me and brings me lunch. I listen to "Follow Him" and watch "When Calls the Heart." I finally did all of my gospel reading this afternoon.

Addy texted to see how we were doing. I told her we were struggling and she said school was hard right now. I told her I would pray for her and I asked if she would pray for us. Of course!

Michael also texted and said it wouldn't be able to come up in February because he has something every weekend and the last weekend he is going to Rome. 

Darrel went snowboarding in Wyoming this weekend with friends. They stayed in Idaho. Darrel sent James a picture of hundreds of elk lined up alongside a lake.
