Jesus Christ, Head of Church
3 Nephi 27:8
And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name then it is my church, if it so e that they are built upon my gospel.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 18:1-14
How can we better focus on Christ while partaking of the sacrament each Sunday?
New Testament
2 Timothy 3-4; Philemon: Followers of Christ forgive one another.
SS: The healing ointment of the Savior's Atonement helps us forgive others.
Oct 2019 General Conference
"The Message, the Meaning, and the Multitude"
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"As a result of his persistence, the blind man in the New Testament, was brought to Jesus, who heard his faith-filled plea for the restoration of his sight and healed him.
As in our New Testament story, those blessed with sight will recognize that, in spite of everything else this conference tradition may offer us, it will mean little or nothing unless we find Jesus at the center of it all."
This morning before she went to school Lola told grandpa that she was only going to have 10 pieces of candy a day. Trina heard her and said: "No you aren't. You are going to have two a day, one in your lunch and one after school." Nice try Lola.
James dropped me off for my infusion and then went to Erik's to talk to him about his truck. When he drove up Erik said he knew our car needed new brakes. I've been bugging him about this issue for a few weeks now. He immediately went down to the auto supply store and bought some brakes. I asked if he had Erik put them on and he said, no, I will do it myself and save $100.
Right after my infusion James said he needed to go to a wrecking yard in Phoenix to pick up the part for his truck. This place was on west Broadway Rd. We saw a billboard with Chad Schaub's face on it advertising his law firm.
James wasn't gone long. He came back with the part and it only cost him $300. That seems like a lot right now.
We headed back to Mesa because James had a meeting with the architect for Montessori School where Dawn and Rebecca work. He is supposed to be doing a job for them this coming spring. At first he thought the school was on University but it ended up being on Brown and Gaylord. Gaylord is between Gilbert and Lindsey. It is in a nice location with lots of big shade trees. I dropped him off because Mr. Crandall was waiting for him outside.
I drove back down University to the McDonald's I had seen earlier. I ordered a Happy Meal, a drink, and an ice cream cone. Before I finished eating I decided I needed to look at my phone to see if James had called. I couldn't find my phone in my purse so I assumed I had left it in my car. It wasn't there. I said a prayer and remembered that before lunch I had used the restroom. I hurried back into the restroom and sure enough, there it was in the stall I had used. Wow! I got lucky that no one had took it. James had called a few times so I texted him and told him I was on my way.
We drove home through Payson. As we were leaving Mesa I noticed a Soda Shoppe and a Corndog Wagon like the one at Disneyland on the corner of Brown and Gilbert. I'm going back. The best corndogs in the world!
We stopped at Culver's in Payson. James got a vanilla malt and I got a strawberry sundae. I couldn't resist.
Jenifer, Dennis's daughter, told me that Heber had an "Escape Room." I looked when we went through but I didn't see it.
We stopped at the Vernon post office. It was closed so I couldn't pick up my books. We also went to the Applegate's because I need to get the November birthday cards from Tamara to sign. We as a presidency send birthday cards to all of the sisters in the ward. Tamara and Jimmie were at the temple and Ty could not find the cards, so we left. Later after Tamara got home, she had Ty meet me at the church to bring me the cards. She said his date cancelled on him tonight so he was free. Sorry Ty.
I finished getting my steps and then James and I watched the new Christmas movie, "Nostalgic Christmas."
Kaeli Nicoll and Anne Miller visited Pat Tedder today. This is the text we as a presidency got from Anne:
"Kaeli-Ann and I just got done visiting Pat Tedder. We stayed around 3 hours She is doing so well. She is positive, and determined in her physical therapy. She ca stand, and walk but can't bend or lift and has very limited mobility. She has a long recovery and has constant pain. Nights and mornings are super hard for her since she only wears her brace during the day. All in all it was an amazing visit."
I couldn't sleep after going to bed. I got up and took a shower and then went in the family room and watched part of a movie. I finally ended up back in bed in the wee hours of the morning.

This reminds me of Elder Bednar's talk.
