I am not sure where this is, but I love the flowers.
1 Nephi 7:16-8:15

Talk: "Steadfast In Our Covenants"

Elder Marvin J. Ashton said, "When we truly become converted to Jesus Christ, committed to Him, an interesting things happens: our attention turns to the welfare of our fellowman, and the way we treat others becomes increasingly filled with patience, kindness, and a gentle acceptance."

President Thomas S. Monson has said:
"Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together...to bring souls unto Him...He will assist
us in our labors if we will act in faith to fulfill His work.'
GC: Valiant in the Testimony of Jesus by Elder Quentin L. Cook
"If we elevate anything above our devotion to the Savior, if our conduct recognizes Him as just another teacher and not the divine Son of God, then we are looking beyond the mark.
Jesus Christ is the mark!"
We started taking the Christmas stuff down today. Kim and Brian are doing the same thing today. They always leave their Christmas things up until after January 8, Elvis's birthday because that is what Elvis did, according to the Elvis expert, Brian.
James had an appointment with Dr. Moffat today in town. He brought me back some hot and sour soup, the one thing that I crave when I am sick. He also went by Walmart and got stevia, Malt-o-Meal, and a new item, Grits. Grits might be delicious but I just don't like the name.
I watched a couple a movie while James was gone.
"The Seven Year Hitch".
Our fasting and prayers were answered today. We had unscheduled rain!
Darrel texted me today and ask if I could watch their kids on the 25th. Even though I was not planning on being in the valley that day I will never pass up a chance to watch his kids if I can help it so I said yes. We will just be getting back from San Antonio and I will just stay in the valley a couple of extra days.

I paid our timeshare fee today which was over $1,000 for the year and I also paid tithing.
For FHE we read Elder Andersen's conference talk and then read from Adam-ondi-Ahman. We also watched "Garage Sale Mystery: The Novel" starring Lori Loughlin.
