Jesus Christ, Family of
Mark 6:33
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
Book of Mormon
Alma 28:9-29:7
New Testament "Ye Shall Be Witnesses unto Me"
Acts 4:31-37; 5:1-11
General Conference
A Home Where the Spirit of the Lord Dwells
President Henry B. Eyring
"Your faith in the Savior has grown as you followed President Russell M. Nelson's suggestion to reread the Book of Mormon. You marked passages and words that referred to the Savior. Your faith in Jesus Christ grew. But like a new plant, such faith in Jesus Christ will wither unless you find continued resolve to ponder and pray to increase it.
Your example of growing in faith may not be followed by all members of your family now. But take heart from the experience of Alma the Younger. In his painful need for repentance and forgiveness, he remembered his father's faith in Jesus Christ. Your children may remember your faith in the Savior at a moment when they desperately need repentance."
It is a cloudy, beautiful morning! We even had a little rain.
I have more swelling around my right eye and eyelid. James wants me to go to the ER but I begged him to let me wait until Monday, hoping it will be better by then.
He makes me put hot compresses on the swelling throughout the day because he says it helps kill bacteria. I think he's worried about me dying or else he can't stand looking at my swollen face.
I read from the New Testament Student Manual for Acts 1-5. It helps me understand things better and there are always lots of quotes by General Authorities.
James is so miserable. He not only has a bronchial infection and a cough, he also has laryngitis. I called his teaching companion Brother Westbrook and asked if he would give the lesson tomorrow as James would not be there. He was more than happy to do it.
I had planned on going to town today to mail my book boxes. I told James we better call and make sure the UPS store was open before we went because they have been known to randomly close on Saturdays. It was 1:53 when I called to ask how late they were open today. The girl said until 2. I said, aren't you normally open until 4. She said yes but their software isn't working right so they are closing early. Grrr. I guess my boxes won't get mailed until Monday. Maybe by then I will have two more ready.
We decided to go into town anyway. I was craving a hamburger and an ice cream cone from McDonald's and James needed to pick upa prescription from CVS.
I ordered a quarter pounder with cheese and paid $6 for it. It was overcooked and dry. The only saving grace was the ice cream cone.
I came home and after resting awhile I inventoried my next box of books. Not much accomplished today.
This evening we watched the newest Hallmark movie, "Love Unleashed," starring Jen Lilley and Christopher Russell. In this movie Jen fosters puppies in need of a home. In real life she fosters children who need a home.
I was still walking until 10:20 tonight in order to get my 10,000.
James and I are reading a new book together called, "Love Unscripted."
James said a fast prayer that we would have better health. I am not sure that I can fast when I am sick.

I tried to look my best but it looks like I
have a black eye.
One of my friends took this picture from
the highway coming home from Springerville.
This is a Jared face for sure. He
looked just like this at that age!
She's got something on her mind.
She is such a dolly!
I love this sweet family!
One of my most favorite young women!
No wonder he seems so young!
