Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026: Nancy Guthrie story, James reaches out to Bert Carpenter, Elder Shumway's BYU Devotional, heart handouts, Burn Slim, Willy can't fix Razr, 82 in Phoenix

 

So excited about this!

I am caught up in the Nancy Guthrie story. She is the mother of Savannah Guthrie who is a host on The Today Show. She lives in Tucson. She is 84 years old with health issues. She was taken from her home on Saturday night and the entire country is hearing about it on the news. the FBI is coming in on the case.

James reached out to Bert Carpenter today, our agent at Nexa Lending. He told him we had our Social Security cards. James also said that based on the information we received yesterday we wonder if there is a way we may get more money from the reverse mortgage because the estimate on what our house is worth was low. We want an appraisal done. Bert says that is possible but first we have to go through reverse mortgage counseling. We need to call and set up an appointment from the information sent in the packet yesterday. We will this week.

Elder Shumway was amazing today. He asked his wife Heidi to bear her testimony and she was amazing too. Elder Shumway talked about simplifying our lives, bringing balance, and connecting to the Savior. I would encourage anyone and everyone to listen to his message on his YouTube page.

I worked on my handouts today. My goal is to finish six everyday. 

I have been receiving so many "commercials" about the gelatin diet and how it is the best way to lose weight. I listened to a video today which says you cannot use grocery store gelatin. This doctor, Jennifer Ashton, says these pills she is selling are the way Kelly Clarkson lost her weight. They have GLP-1 & GIP, ginger extract and turmeric with piperine which helps to reduce inflammation. (Is that what they are calling fat now days? JK)

I ended up ordering 9 bottle for half price. We shall see. I mainly just want to get rid of my "belly" and to improve my metabolism. I don't really need to lose weight. I can always send them back if I'm not happy.

James brought the Razr back from Willy's today. He can't fix it. It needs a new transmission casing which translates in to a new transmission. Do we want to spend more money or try to get our money back from the engine we bought. I'm leaving that up to James.

I dusted and vacuumed the family room today as my ministering sisters are coming tomorrow. It really needed it.

"Everyone belongs to a family, whether you are a mother, father, daughter, son, grandchild, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, or cousin."

Moses 7:18

And the LOrd called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.

I'm making 48 of these painted wooden hearts,

4 pieces of candy in a cellophane bag with

a quote on the outside of the bag.
