So true.

From Howard W. Hunter lesson #8, "Taking the Gospel to all the World":  'A great indicator of one's personal conversion is the desire to share the gospel with others.'

As I was working on familysearch today I realized that my Nannie and Grandpa have never been sealed together  and my mom and her brother and sister have not been sealed to them, their parents.  I want to make this one of my top priorities. 

I listened to six conference talks today in an effort to listen to them all again before the end of the month.  

I made oven stew today.  James had it for lunch and dinner and he loved it.  We have plenty left for tomorrow too.

James seems discouraged because he is always in pain.  He worked outside on the building most of the day.

It's beginning to look like a building.

I love this old picture of Ben and Jared Ammon.  

 They look so sweet and innocent.

I was able to talk to Jean Howard and Claire Mercado today, two of the sisters I visit teach.  I have an appointment with Jean next week.  Claire is still not feeling well.  After I finished talking to her I decided I wanted to do a care basket for her and her daughter Marlie.  I offered to bring her dinner, but she has so many allergies she declined.

James and I look forward to our "date on the couch" every night.  Tonight we watched a movie called "Always and Forever."  The only thing I didn't like about it was Dean McDermott.

Happy 63rd Birthday to my brother Harold.  He is a great guy.  He is always so willing to help and is such a good husband, father and grandpa.  Harold, I love you!

I actually packed lunch and dinner for James before he left this morning.  I made him a couple of tuna sandwiches, and put all the left over beans in a container so he could heat them up for dinner.  Also included in his care package: almond cookies, 2 cans of Dr. Pepper, and some honey and cinnamon to go with his herbal tea.

I got a call this morning from my neighbor Kathy Crane.  She told me to look outside and I would see a big herd of elk.  She told me to look out the north window.  It took me awhile to figure out which way was north but when I did this is what I saw:

I counted over 35 and there were still more.

This picture doesn't show you how beautiful they are, especially when they run.

Of course I had to call James and tell him.  He wanted to know how many bulls there were.  Darned if I know.  After talking with him on the phone I looked outside and there was no trace of the herd.

I exercised on my rebounder today while watching the Pioneer Woman cooking show.  She gave some really good ideas for 16 minute meals that I am definitely going to try.

This afternoon I paid bills.  Boy is it ever expensive to be alive.  In order to get me through this ordeal I watched some Hallmark movies.  There are some good ones out there.  My favorite today was: "Notes from the Heart Healer."

I got a call from James this evening.  He seems pretty discouraged because his back is really hurting and on top of working hard all day he has to come home to Chandler and fix a broken waterline.  I told him I loved him and that he should get a good nights sleep and things would look better in the morning.
