3 Nephi 11:14
Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
1 Nephi 18
The ship is finished - The births of Jacob and Joseph are mentioned - The company embarks for the promised land - The sons of Ishmael and their wives join in revelry and rebellion - Nephi is bound, and the ship is driven back by a terrible tempest - Nephi is freed, and by his prayer the storm ceases - The people arrive in the promised land. About 591-589 B.C.

"Let us be careful and not casual in our use of technology. Continually seek for ways that technology can draw us closer to the Savior and allow us to accomplish His work as we prepare for His Second Coming."
I always look outside when I come in to wake up James and bring him his tea. This morning I saw elk scattered all over outside. James got up and brought out "the big guns", my camera with the telephoto lens. He said there were at least 20. Probably "our herd" who has been coming this way periodically for the past few weeks. Later we saw 8 deer, also "our herd". The elk and the deer all left together. The deer look so small compared to the elk.
James worked outside this morning while I did my blogging of January 22-23.
From 9-12 on worked on my book business. I made a template for my inventory page using my light box upstairs.
James took the key ignition out of the Cat to take into town to be tested. He also went to town to get a bumper but there was none available and the guy who tested the starter said there was nothing wrong with it. Back to square one, or maybe two since he eliminated one source of why his Cat won't start.
I read from "Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon," and then read to James from "Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea."
We got some snow today so James went out to shovel it from the steps and walkways before it turns to ice.
James and I have our quarterly Elders Quorum/Relief Society meeting this evening. This afternoon I worked on Relief Society things. I made copies of the lesson schedule through April and emailed them to the two teachers, Becky and Diana, and made copies for Kerri, Maxine, and Tamara. I also typed up the Family History goals James and I came up with. I made copies for all of the consultants and one for Tamara to give to Bishop Hunsaker.
Tamara had ask me to give the spiritual thought so I prepared something out of Sister Dew's book, "Women and the Priesthood."
James and I rode with Chuck to the meeting. It was snowing and the steps at the church were icy. We saw Tina Allen as we were going in to the church and she said there was no snow in Show Low or Lakeside.
We met in the family history room. I asked Chuck how the Relief Society presidency could get a key to the room and he said to ask a member of the bishopric.
Chuck started the meeting before Tamara arrived so she missed the prayer and spiritual thought. I thought he should have waited for her, but she was late and it was time to start. Those attending: Chuck, James, Gary, Maxine, Kerri, Tamara and I.
Some of the items from our agenda: Assignments for Valentine's Party and Dinner on February 14th - report from Kerri. Those with special needs: Sister Robertson still in the hospital with pneumonia and broken ribs in Phoenix. Sister Caster is sick, her ministering sisters are Sister Wallace and Sister South. Sister South is related to her. Brother Brady is not well. His wife does not feel welcomed by his family. She is not a member. Sister C. Miller is recovering from surgery. She and her husband want to go to the temple. Millie is still miserable with broken ribs. She is discouraged and needs people to visit her. The priesthood will ask if Sister Tedder would like the sacrament brought in. Chuck says the Kostusiak's still need visits by the missionaries. We told about Tanna expecting a baby and Tamara suggested we have a baby shower for her. I would be glad to do that. Brother Martin needs fellowshipping.
None of the elders quorum presidency no how to access the leadership page on the church website for ministering. Kerri will come next Wednesday and train them.
When we got home we read 1 Nephi 18 and I studied using "Teaching with Power." It looks like our Sunday "CFM" in the valley will consist of Kim, Brian, James and I. Stacy is a maybe and so is Sheri but not very strong maybes because of the Stupid Bowl, oops, I mean the Super Bowl.
Not sure about the white dot
