Lesson
"Lovest Thou Me?"
Elder Steven C. Barlow
Marvin Johnson passed away this morning. He was 88 years old. Paul shared this on our family Facebook thread:'
Dad was mostly unresponsive yesterday until my mom played Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins, and Richie Valens. They used to love to dance to La Bamba and he lit up. He also gave her a tender kiss.
Marvin was totally devoted to his family and the Gospel. He took Mary wherever she needed to go, as she doesn't drive. He worked for her in her salon and did just about anything and everything she wanted. He had a strong testimony of the Savior and was a wonderful dad and grandpa and disciple of Jesus Christ. His mission will continue in the Spirit World where loved ones will be there to meet him.
James and I had a talk about our current situation and our future. I told him what my concerns are and what I see happening and things that we need to prepare for. I am concerned that there is so much upkeep at the cabin and we just can't do it all. I am concerned about cashflow and that James still has to work. Before we decide if we are going to sell the cabin, we need to talk to Kim and Brian and see what their plans are. There are just so many things up in the air. I feel very unsettled right now.
We made a trip to town to return my Amazon package, the corset I ordered that is way too small, and to get a pole for James's work on the deck. James stood in line at UPS to return my package. There were 8 people ahead of him. In the meantime, I walked over to Walmart. My main reason for coming to Walmart was to get a couple of bags of my favorite salad, sunflower, bacon, and cabbage with delicious, sweet onion dressing. There were only two bags left and I took both of them. I picked up several other items and James came in and picked up a prescription and met me at the front registers.
On our way home we stopped at Taco Bell. I really wanted to go to Persnikkity's, but didn't want to spend that much money so Taco Bell it is. I got a taco supreme, and James got a chicken quesadilla. I ate my taco and took a bite of his quesadilla while he went into Tractor Supply for horse feed and a pole. He said it took longer than expected because most of the poles were crooked and he had to find a straight one.
The weather is unseasonably warm and beautiful for this time of year. The high was around 60 with lots of sunshine and no wind. Although we need more moisture, we are certainly enjoying this sunshine.
James called Erik this evening to ask him about the Razr. He said that before he can put the engine in there is a piece of aluminum to be welded. None of the welders that he knows want to deal with aluminum, so he is at a stalmate. I wish he would have called us. I am ready to give up, send the engine back, and get out $2500 refund. James says no, he is going to call Willy and see if he knows anyone that welds aluminum. So be it. It's been three years, and I am giving up.
I wrapped three gifts, Dallin's, Jared Ammon's, and Stacy's. I also watched the Friday night series, "12 Dates Before Christmas," and walked 10,000 steps for the first time in December.
I chipped one of my back teeth or at least knocked out a filling. It was probably those Jordan almonds I got at Bunco. Darn!
Time for bed. Tom sleeps with us tonight.
"Our adulation, appreciation, and worship should be centered on the Savior of the world and His atoning sacrifice."

Article of Faith 1:10
We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
