General Conference
Good Shepherd, Lamb of God
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
"Brothers and sisters, our Good Shepherd calls us in His voice and in His name. He seeks, gathers, and comes to His people. Through His living prophet and each of us, He invites all to find peace, purpose, healing, and joy in the fulness of His restored gospel and on His covenant path. By example, He teaches the shepherds of Israel to minister in His love. As Lamb of God, Jesus's divine mission was foreordained and rejoiced in by apostles and prophets. His Atonement, infinite and eternal, is central to the plan of happiness and the purpose of creation. He assures us that He carries us next to His heart."
I looked out the window this morning with James and saw our elk standing right outside the fence. James left quickly to go get ready to stalk him and I watched him walk away and told him he better hurry. This was all before 6 a.m.
James got back from elk stalking around 7:30. This was his report: Rain, I called and saw a big elk on the hill but it was too dark for pictures. I saw another elk to my right, a spike. Two cow elk spotted me. I got pictures of the spike but the big one got away.
He ate some breakfast and laid down for a nap.
In all of the Aunt Dimity books there is some kind of a recipe for a dessert in the back. The Christmas one has angel cookies and the one I am reading to James has butterscotch brownies. The goodies are always a part of the story.
James and I left for town around 10:30 this morning. We stopped for lunch at Panda. I have been craving chowmein noodles with beef and broccoli. It wasn't as good as I remembered but at least I stopped the craving. I walked over to Walmart after lunch and James went to Home Depot to get more supplies for his upkeep projects outside. When James got to Walmart he stood in the prescription line and picked up my prescriptions. When we left the store I reminded him we needed to go get his prescriptions at CVS.
We stopped at Dairy Queen which is just down from CVS and in the excitement of eating our Dilly bars we forgot to go to CVS. That's old age for you.
I was doing some book repricing this afternoon when I received a text from Tamara that Analee Hunsaker had just passed away. I knew they had taken her to the hospital in Flagstaff yesterday and that for the past year or so her pain had become almost unbearable.
She was such a dear friend. I worked with her in Young Women's when I was a counselor and she was the secretary. What a great example she was. Very quiet and dignified, and a perfectionist in every sense of the word. For years she played the organ in our sacrament meetings. She was the bookkeeper, office manager for Hunsaker Brothers Construction and just recently turned that responsibility over to Alicia, her daughter-in-law. Our birthdays are three days apart, mine being on the 19th and hers on the 22nd. She always sent me a birthday card... until this year. Goodbye dear, sweet Analee. I look forward to seeing you again.
The most important thing about Analee was her
testimony and her quiet strength as a dedicated
disciple of Jesus Christ. She is a former stake Relief
Society President and temple worker. She is someone
you would want to be like. Her greatest joy in life was
her family. She was a wife, a mother of five, and a
grandmother and great grandmother of many.
This afternoon I made rolls for the temple tomorrow and a crockpot chicken pot pie. As soon as the pot pie was done I put it in the refrigerator for tomorrow and Sunday. James loves pot pies. I'm not sure why because he doesn't like pie crust. I guess it's the meat and vegetables.
Watched Chopped Junior while walking. I am always impressed that these 11 and 12 year old kids can cook so well.
I sold Disney Fairy Princesses, my second copy.
I had this girl in Primary. She moved to Deming
and now she is so tall. She raises prize
winning hogs.
Scarlett, Lola, and Ivy, the ballerinas.
Love this girl!
This one too!
Don't forget the vitamins Mom!
Camrie is a single mom. she is Sean's daughter.
She is pretty amazing herself.
Hunsaker brothers, Sean, Miles and Kip.
Sean and Kip and their families are the
backbone of the Vernon ward.
Alicia on the left. I love her!
