October General Conference
'The Words of Christ and the Holy Ghost Will Lead Us to the Truth'
Elder Takashi Wada
"Brothers and sisters, I am grateful for our Heavenly Father's plan of salvation. Because He loves us, He prepared the way to return to His presence through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Knowing this incredible plan will help us know we are children of God and we can become like Him. I am grateful for this important truth. I bear you my witness that the words of Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost will lead us to receive eternal life."
James and I got the sweetest text from Max late last night. I happened to get up and look at my phone during the night and read it. James read it this morning. We both responded and Max responded back. One of the things he said was: "I am looking for a greater purpose and perhaps that is a life guided by God."
He committed to watch "as much of conference as he could", and to reading the Book of Mormon. I had to share that much with Sheri and she is so happy.
You never know how you are affecting other people unless they tell you. I never would have guessed Max was so tender-hearted and that he felt the way he does. You just can't judge other people. It is a wonderful thing when they share a little bit of their heart with you.
James and I went to town together this morning. We took the truck because Circle K has gas for 40 cents off a gallon. James got 15 gallons and saved $6.80. I say saved but that's not really true because we spent it somewhere else.
My grocery list was quite long. I am making chicken stir-fry this week so there were lots of veggies on the list. I made a copy of my list and gave it to James and told him to get the veggies, which he did. He got regular lettuce instead of butter lettuce but other than that he did quite well. He got the kitty litter, which is so heavy that I can't lift it. I also made him get the Malt-O-Meal which was on the top shelf pushed back so that I couldn't reach it. I spent more money than I normally do, but we will have groceries for awhile.
We stopped at Culver's which is so predictable as I am obsessed with their chicken tenders right now. James got his cod fillet sandwich and a waffle cone with chocolate ice cream which cost over $5. We vowed we would give up our Culver's habit after this, at least for awhile. My chicken tenders, his sandwich and ice cream came to a grand total of $22.81 and that's with the senior discount.
After getting home and putting the groceries away, I had to take a nap and so did James. His was short, mine was long. I meant to get up at 3 because I have Bunco tonight and I'm making mini cupcakes. Tom came and climbed up with me and we stayed there until 4.
The missionaries came during this time and visited with James. We are feeding them tomorrow night. James told them we were getting pizza and they seemed quite pleased.
I made strawberry baby cakes and James helped me frost them with pink frosting. I wanted to make them fancy but I ran out of time.
I put the peanut butter and jelly I bought as my years supply gift into a gift bag with some tissue, and James helped me load up the car. I left about 5:35 to go pick up the Hunsaker twins, Stefani and Alicia. I'm driving but I don't know where Lynda Finnell lives so Alicia is the navigator.
Those attending Bunco tonight: Janna Grombach, Becky Skousen, Amy Reynolds, Tina Allen, Lynda, Oksana, Maddie - Lynn Wallace's sister, Michelle Beckham, Cheryl Sedig, Alicia, Stefani, and I.
There was some good food tonight. My favorites were the sliders that Lynn sent. She has a sick grandbaby at home so Maddie is taking her place, and the thumb print cookies Alicia made with chopped pecans. I took one home to James and he loved them too.
Bunco news: Tina Allen fell and injured her right shoulder and had to have surgery. A few months ago she had her left shoulder replaced. Stefani got a new turbo-charged Mini-Cooper. Alicia said when Bishop asked other churches in the area about placing the cross on their grounds they turned him down because "we don't believe in the same Jesus as they do." Such non-Christian behavior. One place he asked was the place where the Jesus sign is, where they have the summer revivals. How sad. It's great where it is though, right next to the Kenyon's home.
Contrary to what it says on her Facebook feed, Becky Skousen is not a bitcoin expert. Someone hacked her accounts, including her bank account. What a mess!
When I left for Bunco I told James he was going to have to cook his own potstickers. When I returned home he told me not to buy pork potstickers because he only likes the chicken ones. I wish he would have told me that when I put the bag of pork ones in our basket at Walmart.
but it is beautiful.
without having to deal with Sammy.
