Up at 3:41 for gospel study and daily preparation.

James went out in the fog to look for elk but was unsuccessful. 

We had planned on going to the temple but because the Tignor's cancelled we are at home trying to do some "catch up." 

I ran off all of the conference talk and numbered them and put them in files. I am glad that Emily chose President Oaks's talk on the family to base our Inklings study on this semester. I listened to the first 11 talks as a way of "catching up." 

James went out to burn brush but he got rained out. I made a green chili stew. This is a new recipe which called for 28 oz of fire-roasted tomatoes which made it a little hot. Next time I'm doing half fire-roasted and half regular tomatoes. I'm also cutting the pork in small chunks at James's request. I divided the stew and put beans in half of it for James. 

Even though James and I are both working on the puzzle we are not making much progress. It is quite puzzling. We will conquer though because we won't give up!

Sheri chose Elder Renlund's talk for her Relief Society lesson this week and so Kim, Addy and I are also studying it in our study group. I read through it today. I get so much more out of the talks when I read them rather than just listening to them.

I managed to do two blogposts and walk 13,000 steps today. James and I were in bed by 8. I want to get up at 3. James complained about me getting up early and turning on my desk lamp. I told him that's why I got him the sleep mask.

"Beyond redeeming us from our mistakes, the Lord's mercy and grace sustain us through injustices, deficiencies, and limitations imposed by our mortal experience."

D&C 112:13

And after their temptations, and much tribulations, behold, I, the Lord, will feel after them, and if they harden not their hearts, and stiffen not their necks against me, they shall be converted, and I will heal them.
