Sao Paulo, Brazil
17th operating temple
Dedicated: 30 Oct-Nov 2 1978
By: Spencer W. Kimball

Jesus Christ, Head of Church
3 Nephi 18:6
And this shall ye always observe to do, even as I have done, even as I have broken bread and blessed it and given it unto you.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 16:1-20
What do these verses teach us about the gospel in these the latter days?
New Testament
1 Timothy 5-6; 2 Timothy 1 "God hath not give us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"


General Conference
Take Up Our Cross
Ulisses Soares
"Taking upon yourselves your crosses and following the Savior means continuing with faith on the Lord's path and not indulging in worldly habits."


I got up early this morning and made a couple of loaves of pumpkin bread. I wanted to take one to Tanna, Sister Dye's granddaughter. I also filled out a homemade Halloween card to give her. I plan on going by after James's doctor's appointment in town.

Anthony reported this morning that it was 6 degrees outside at his house. He recently put insulation in his floor and he said normally before the insulation it would be a little warmer than it was outside. This morning it was 78 degrees. The low here in Vernon last night was 13 degrees.

The Washington Nationals won the World Series for the first time last night. They beat the Houston Astros. Congratulations!

I got an email from French Bruce this morning. He is pushing for us to send a certificate of sale for one of the cemetery plots. We told him the bank had not cleared the check. James told him because it was not a certified check that it would take two weeks before we would send the certificate. James talked to the bank and they said that was the period of time in which the writer of the check could stop payment on the check. We did not hear from French Bruce anymore today. I am pretty sure this is a scam but James is still holding on to some hope.

James had an appointment at Dr. DeLange's office today, his post surgery checkup. I drove into town with him and dropped him off at  the doctor's and went to Walmart where I got birthday cards for Jared and Evan. I bought a few groceries and as I was waiting for James to call me to pick him up I got Jared's card ready to mail. 

After picking up James we headed for the post office in Show Low to mail Jared's birthday card and the book that I sold, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."

We dropped the pumpkin bread off at Tanna's on the way home. Someone came to the door, some guy, not Tanna, and James gave him the bread and the card. I want so much to get a truck and start hauling off garbage. There is two dumpsters full and garbage everywhere in the yard. I told James we should ask her if she needs help.

We stopped at the Vernon post office and I had five books that I had ordered to sell.

I read to James most of the time we were in the car and when we got home we finished the book, "Aunt Dimity's Christmas." I can see why it is my friend Karen's favorite.

James tried to work outside on the logs this afternoon but it was so cold and windy he came in a little early and built a fire. I was getting my shipment of books ready. I loaded it in the back of the car, all 34 lbs of it. It really bothers James that he can't lift things for me right now. The physician's assistant at Dr. DeLange's this morning told him if he wasn't careful about not lifting anything over 10 lbs and careful about what he ate, he may have to do the surgery over again. He doesn't want that so hopefully he will be good.

I bought a couple of books this evening. I am still six short of my weekly goal of 15. I worked on my blog and went to bed.







 This week's elimination, Karamo and Jenna.
They look happy, don't they.

Washington D.C.
16th operating temple
Dedicated: 19-22 Nov 1974
By: Spencer W. Kimball

Jesus Christ, Head of the Church
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 15:1-24
Why is it so important to keep the commandments? And how does keeping the commandments allow us to be a light unto others?
New Testament: 
1 Timothy 3-4; 1 Timothy 4:10-16 If I am an "example of the believers," I can lead others to the Savior and His gospel.


General Conference
Power to Overcome the Adversary
Elder Peter M. Johnson
"How do we find peace, remember who we are, and overcome the three Ds of the adversary?"

Our house and land appraised for $1,073,000.00. We should be closing on our loans by the end of the week.

James is feeling better today. He figured out a way to fix the tire on the skidsteer and saved himself a trip to town to get it fixed.

I listened to the book webinar this morning featuring Kathy and Kris. I am trying to buy 15 books a week to build up my inventory. Today I sold three books including one of the library books James picked up last week.

I watched two of my favorite dances from "DWTS." I like Emma and James, and Gleb and Lauren and I liked both of their dances this week. I'm not a huge fan of Halloween week. 

For dinner I make alfredo noodles and chicken. James really liked it and so did I. 

I'm really wishing I hadn't deposited the check from French Bruce. (Weird name, yes!) I should have said I can only accept cashiers checks and sent it back.

It's supposed to get down to 16 degrees tonight.
