"Fruit"
Elder Neil L. Andersen
"I am an eyewitness to the power of revelation that rests upon our dear President. He is the prophet of God. Like Lehi of old, President Russell M. Nelson beckons to us and all of God's family to come and partake of the fruit of the tree. May we have the humility and strength to follow his counsel. I humbly witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. His love, His power, and His grace bring all things of lasting worth. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

Two, actually three, great letters today. One was from our stake president, President Beeler, and two from Ben. Here is a copy of President Beeler's letter:
President Beeler is young but he is so spiritual and I love him almost as much as I did President Shumway who is now serving as a mission president in Chicago, Illinois.
I got a text from my friend Karen S. on Saturday that I forgot to share. She said she has been trying to walk around her house since she had lunch with me because she was impressed that I walked 10,000 steps a day. She said she couldn't get passed 5,000 and wondered how I did it. I told her I walked 1,000 every hour until I reached my goal. While I'm walking I listen to conference talks or online books, or podcasts. She said I was her hero. I said she was my hero/mentor when it came to family history. She said, "It's nice we can help each other." This is so true. It's the one thing I miss about attending church, the association with the ward members that I have come to love.
Here are Ben's letters:
James went to town to pick up some supplies and forgot his wallet. He came home, got his wallet and went back. Mind you this is in his truck which dies everytime he stops or hits a bump. He brought me back a strawberry sundae from Culver's which made me very happy!
I texted with Kim today. She said that most of her day is spent studying the Restoration in preparation for General Conference. She is part of a group that can no longer meet but they do it online. The week she was in charge she chose the topic of the Book of Mormon and led the discussion. Her friend chose the Plan of Salvation. She loves the group. It sounds great to me!
I was able to do two blog posts today but I have to say on the days I do two posts sometimes it takes me several hours. I will be so glad when I am caught up in a couple of days.
I ordered my Easter creche and Emily's book, "A Christ-Centered Easter" that goes with it only to discover afterwards that I already have the book. So, I have an extra one. Who wants it?
I also re-signed up for Deseret Book Plus so I can listen to books on my phone. I am out walking my conference talks so I needed something else to listen to. Right now I am listening to Elder Andersen's new book, "The Divine Gift of Repentance."
This evening James and I watched the new episode of Mystery 101 starring Christopher Polaha and Jill Wagner. Jill is one of our favorites and I also like Christopher. We really liked the episode. It had a surprise twist that I figured out and told to James!
Love to watch A & T dance!
a Christ-Centered Easter
