Sheri's quote:
Elder Vinson's talk in the October 2013 conference called 'Drawing Closer to God' was all about adversity and just what I needed to hear today. He says:
"The Lord gives us ways to help remember Him and His sustaining powers. One way is through that common lot we all share - adversity (see Alma 32:6). As I look back at the trials I have faced, it is clear that they have resulted in my growth, understanding, and empathy. They have drawn me closer to my Heavenly Father and His Son with experiences and refining engraved into my heart."
I read to James from our new book, "The Baron's Honourable Daughter" before he left for the valley. We also had family prayer. He will listen to his scriptures in the car and I will read mine at home. We are in 3rd Nephi and 2 Corinthians. Goodbye Honey, I will see you tomorrow!
New author for us
Today I worked on my blog, read from "Jesus the Christ", and listened to two conference talks from the priesthood session, Elder Gibson and President Uchtdorf. I also watched an episode of "Chopped", a "Garage Sale Mystery: The Wedding Dress", and "Here Comes the Nanny", starring Cameron Mathison. I saved the Garage Sale Mystery for James to watch because I liked it so much and thought he would too.
I did several loads of laundry and almost decided to go to Chandler because I was so lonely. I also talked to Laura and told her that we sold the house. I hope the inspection goes well tomorrow.
I called all the sisters I visit teach and only Hailey Chafin called me back. I have an appointment to visit her next Tuesday with James. My partner, Lorraine Tieman will be out of town.
Terry had his 8th heart stint put in. He seems to be doing very well. Dave says he always has a proceedure done right before they go hunting.
The elk are lonely tonight because James is not here calling to them.
