"Found Through the Power of the Book of Mormon"
Elder Ruben V. Alliaud
"There may be many who have been found through wonderful missionaries around the world, in every case through miraculous ways. Or maybe they have been found through friends that God has deliberately placed in their path. It might even be that they have been found by someone from this generation or through one of their ancestors. Whatever the case, in order to progress toward a true personal conversion, sooner rather than later, they all must experience and be found by the power of the truths contained in the Book of Mormon. At the same time, they must personally decide to make a serious commitment to God that they will strive to keep His commandments."
Tamara sent out an early morning (before 6), to the presidency asking if someone would be available to do a food order for her. I said I would be glad to help but I had never done a digital one before.
She tried to email me the information but for some reason I couldn't open it. Kerri came over to help and between the two of us we figured it out. We were going to go immediately to the person who needed the order but she wasn't home and wouldn't be home until probably after 5 pm. Kerri told me she would call when she heard from the sister.
I started the book of Revelation today as part of the "Come Follow Me" Sunday School curriculum. I spent an hour studying and barely scratched the surface.
James and I finished "Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday" today. The next book is "Aunt Dimity Snowbound."
We mailed Ben's Christmas package today and read the letter Sheri sent from him.
James went to the dump today and the post office and made me tea and cleaned the mud off my shoes. He helped me put swirly ribbons at the top of the tree by bringing in the big ladder. He even "swirled" the ribbons.
I decided that I really hate mud. I love Vernon but I hate our roads after it snows or rains. I love the snow and the rain but those roads!!
I inventoried books and went with Kerri this evening to visit a couple who need some assistance because some jobs the husband had lined up fell through. They are great people and I was glad to, in some small way, lend them some assistance.
After Kerri drove me home I hurried off to our "Come Follow Me' Group with James. This week it is at the Goodman's. Pierce Goodman is my friend Kathy Arnett's cousin. He is a retired dentist. He has a dentist office set up in one of his outbuildings and does work for people either really cheap or for nothing.
We had an interesting discussion about the book of Revelation. We used the article in the Ensign this month. I loved what it said at the end of the article ... "Jesus wins!"
I watched two Christmas movies today while sitting at the computer.
LifeTime: "Twinkle All the Way"
Sarah Drew, Ryan McKertlin, and Lesley Ann Warren.
"To pull off a Christmas themed wedding, a wedding planner joins forces with a decorator and soon falls in love."
Hallmark: "Cherished Memories: A Gift to Remember"
starring Ali Liebert, Peter Porte, and Tina Lifford.
"An unexpected guest and a fight to save the beloved community center unites everyone for an unforgettable holiday."
My breakfast: A cheese omelet and toast
with strawberry jam.

Another Randy story. He visited his mom every week.
Deann told me he was always the one to drive Aunt Gene
to their familes events. Aunt Gene and Randy were very close.
