General Conference
Where Will This Lead?
President Dallin H. Oaks
"we make countless choices in life, some large and some seemingly small. Looking back, we can see what a great difference some of our choices made in our lives. We make better choices and decisions if we look at the alternatives and ponder where they will lead. As we do, we will be following President Russell M. Nelson's counsel to begin with the end in mind. For us, the end is always on the covenant path through the temple to eternal life, the greatest of all the gifts of God."

Another quote from Elder Cook's talk:
"Recognize His love,
Receive His love in humility,
Convey His love."

The house seems so quiet with just James and I here. But in another way it seems right to be here in this beautiful home with the one I love most in the world and the one who built this beautiful home for me.

We had two positive things happen today in the way of finances. First, our stocks finally came through into our personal account. This means we can pay our propane bill and the accountant's bill.

We also got Harold and Dennis to agree to sign over the Green Acre cemetery plots to us. Vickie said she could verify that we bought the lots and gave mom $2,000 for them.

This afternoon around 3 or so we left the house. I had been asked by Tamara to find a new sister in our ward, Connie Walker. I had the address but that doesn't really mean much in Vernon. We were looking for County Road 3312. It showed that it went through to Highway 60 but no such luck. We finally found Connie and I introduced myself. She seems like a very nice sister. She said she would probably  be moving into Show Low in a couple of months if she can get out of her lease. She wants to be closer to her daughter who provides transportation for her. 

I was grateful to be able to report to Tamara that I met Connie and got her phone number and found out a little bit about her.

We stopped at Taco Bell for some dinner. James thought we had until 5:30 to see Harold. When we got to Harold and Vickie's house Vickie informed us that Harold had to be at the weight room at 5:30 and he left about five minutes before we got there. Vickie was able to sign for Harold. Next stop, next door to see Dennis. 

Peg, Denise's mom, was visiting from Tennessee, and Denise's daughter, Rachel and granddaughter Evie were also there. It was good to see all of them. I love Denise's mom Peg. She and I were "roomies" when we went to New York with Dennis and Denise. She helped me do my hair when I fell and hurt my arm. Such a nice lady.

We visited a little while and then we were on our way. Sorry we missed Harold but grateful that Vickie was able to sign for him. 

When we got home we watched "The Good Witch" Honeymoon episode and a new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries show, "Picture Perfect Mysteries" starring Alexa and Carlos Penavega.

We got no letters from Ben today because he is gone to Yellowstone.









This girl is on the go!

caught. Every day Rowan was here he would check
the cages to see if he caught anything.
