'Trusting Our Father'
Elder David P. Homer
"As President Dieter F. Uchtdorf encouraged us to do: 'Please, first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. We must never allow doubt to hold us prisoner and keep us from the divine love, peace, and gifts that come through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.'"

'God Loves All His Children'
Elder Gregorio E. Casillas
"Please remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior and understands you personally. He knows what it is to have to fulfill a calling and leave things behind to help the children of God. He has the power to bless you in everything if you believe in Him and do not doubt."

Up at 5 after being up several times during the night. Tom finally got tired of me getting up and left earlier. We left for the valley at 7 and went the Payson way. I saw a Reel on Facebook that showed them doing some blasting and then saying some of the rocks were unstable and they were going to close and have everyone use the detours for a couple of days.

We stopped and got our tuna sandwiches. James got two and then dropped half of his so I gave him half of mine. I only wanted half in the first place. 

He dropped me off at AARA at 10:30 for my infusion and an appointment with Rana. He went to see Armando on the job at The Landings and pick up the last money from Chacon, $2,500.

Rana wants me to get x-rays of my knees but I couldn't make an appointment until 2pm. I left around noon and we went to Sheri's office to pick her and Cayli up for lunch. We went to Olive Garden. Cayli and Sheri ordered soup, salad and breadsticks, I ordered the cheese ravioli on the lunch specials menu, and James had the salmon and broccoli. 

The breadsticks were a little dry and tough, overcooked. James happened to mention to Sheri about his fall and hitting his head on concrete and how he has a headache today. Sheri immediately went in to worry mode. It was so nice of her to buy lunch for everyone. Ian is home sick today and she ordered him some soup, salad and breadsticks. We had to hurry back to Mesa in order for me to keep my x-ray appointment. 

After my x-rays we went to the cleaners back in Chandler and then took Stacy's birthday card to her house and gave it to Paul. James called his Aunt Faye and we rescheduled to see her on the 25th when we come down for James's next appointment. 

We went home going up Country Club and stopped at the Costco on Baseline across from AARA. I wanted toilet paper and James wanted Pom juice, which was $3 off a bottle. We also bought orange chicken and James bought some kind of a snack. 

We got home a little after 8:00. Tom was left in the house all day. He ran outside when James opened the door. When I called to him about having a treat, he ran back into the house. I gave him his treat and he wanted to go back outside. 

Some news about Sheri. The doctor has told her that her Cortisol levels are too high and she needs to eat more protein, 120 mg a day.
The doctor also said she should cut her exercising down to two or three times a week. She says she eats lots of Greek yogurt and tuna. 
We asked about Evan going on a mission and she said she didn't think he would go. He got a job at Safeway and was accepted at ASU. I told her I thought Rowan was going to go and she said if Joshua went Evan might go too. Don't worry, I'm not giving up!
