"The Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon"
Elder Ulisses Soares
" In the evening of September 21, 1823, three and a half years after experiencing the First Vision, Joseph was visited three times by the angel Moroni, the last prophet of the Nephites in ancient America, as a result of his sincere prayers. During their visits that lasted through the night, Moroni told Joseph that God had a marvelous work for him to accomplish - the translation and publication to the world of the inspired words of ancient prophets of the American continent. The next day, Joseph went to the place, not far from his home, where the plates were buried by Moroni at the end of his life, centuries earlier. There Joseph saw Moroni again, who instructed him to prepare himself to receive the plates in the future."

I received many blessings from the Lord today. I am grateful to have a husband who is so helpful and supportive. Today we picked up a crib at the Campbell's and took it to Tanna and her boyfriend.
Tanna was most appreciative. I told her what Candi said: "I'm glad it could go to a good home." I also told her that Candi is having cancer surgery tomorrow and asked Tanna if she would pray for her. She said she would.
Candi is an interesting person. She doesn't always come to church and I'm not sure how well she understands the gospel because she won't let her daughter Jasmine do baptisms for the dead because she doesn't want to force anyone to join our church. Although she may not understand the gospel completely, she does understand about service. She delivers meals for the Salvation Army on Sundays, she was instrumental in making 400 masks for the White River Hospital. She is in charge of feeding the missionaries and feeds them herself, along with the Vernon firemen. I have grown to love and appreciate her for her good heart.
After picking up the crib from the Campbell's we took it to Tanna's. She was not home from work but her boyfriend was there and he thanked us. James told him if he needed any help cleaning up that he could get a crew to come over and help.
I am grateful that we had the opportunity to be a part of this exchange between the Campbell's and Tanna. I am grateful for James for going with me and transporting the crib.
We also went to the Wilhelm's and gave Johnny his CTR ring. It barely fit and I offered to take it back and get a bigger one but he said no he wanted to keep it. He loves it. It did my heart good to see his face when he put it on.
Paypal is not my pal. I had to provide documentation to prove James really is who he says he is. It took several tries but finally downloaded his drivers license. I needed one more document, a tax return. It would not download. I finally sent a message for help but have not heard from them yet.
I made a trip to the post office today. I mailed a merchant fulfilled book, "Arriba", and picked up several more books. I bought three books today and I am getting a shipment of books ready to be sent to Amazon.
I also caught up on my blog. My heart is filled with gratitude when I consider the many blessings I have been given in my life. Writing in my blog is a reminder of those blessings. Monday is always a good day because we get to hear from our missionary. I am so grateful for his testimony and the service he is giving.
James and I watched episode 2 of season 4 of "Lark Rise to Candleford" before going to bed.
