I typed up an agreement that James devised for the earnest money Dave Elkins is going to give us this week in the amount of $24,000.

We are selling him 23 acres instead of 22.

I have come to the conclusion that I cannot asked to be released. In my mind I wouldn't be living up to my covenants if I did. When I am feeling like I just can't handle things I've got to put greater trust in the Lord. He will help me to do the things that He wants me to do. I told James not to talk to the bishop.

James made an appointment with the missionaries who serve in Vernon to meet them at Walmart around noon. We signed up to feed them tomorrow but we are going to the valley to James's doctor appointment. We gave the two elders $40 and they were very pleased saying that was more than enough for them to buy a nice meal.

James bought some of his yogurt bars at Walmart. There are four of them. I eat one and he eats the other three. I wanted to stop at Culver's for lunch but because we couldn't finish our treat before going in and knowing they would melt if we left them in the car, we went through the drive-thru. We both ordered the same salad only James ordered bleu cheese dressing to go with his.

I ate most of mine on the way home while James waited until we got home to eat his.

James wanted to meet with the Applegate's this evening about the cost of their home and the bid he has been working on. Jimmie said he was too busy to meet for several day. James is a little discouraged about this entire project and how long it has taken to get anything done. They got their permits last April.

I started a new book this evening, the 2nd in the Isabelle Webb series by N.C. Allen. This one is called, "The Pharaoh's Daughter." James is starting the first book in the series.

"No matter where we live in the world, no matter our age, it is a basic human need ... to feel a sense of belonging."

Genesis 45:5

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
