"Knowing, Loving, and Growing"
Elder Hans T. Boom
"We all know where we can do better. There is no need to repeatedly remind each other, but there is a need to love and minister to each other and, in doing so, provide a climate of willingness to change.
In this same environment we are learning who we really are and what our role will be in this last chapter of the world's history prior to the Second Coming of the Savior. If you are wondering about your part, I would like to invite you to find a place where you can be alone and ask Heavenly Father to make known to you which part to play. The answer will probably come gradually and then more clearly when we have set our feet more firmly on the covenant and ministering path."
I was up at 4 am today. My phone tells me that the hi today is going to be 39 degrees. Ouch! That's a little too cold even for me.
We got a dusting of snow and some rain. From 6-10 I worked on books this morning. James got up at 7 and we had prayer together. James decided to write a letter to Mario. Mario told him not to work on his home right now. James sent a text saying they, he and Armando, wanted to make things right. Mario wrote back and said, "Quit threatening me." There is definitely a communication problem. James is pretty stressed about it. If this doesn't work out we are out about $15,000.
I heated up pasta fagioli soup for lunch. I had an ice cream sandwich for dessert.
I finished reading James "Aunt Dimity: Next of Kin" and we started "Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea."
James worked all afternoon trying to fix the washer. The rubber backing from the entryway rug clogged everything up. No success but he will continue trying tomorrow. I worked on my blog most of the afternoon. I never to did around to paying bills. I blogged January 18-19. As long as I continue to blog two a day I will eventually catch up. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Our "Come Follow Me" group meets at the Goodman's tonight. We left a little late and the Goodman's and the Peeler's were waiting for us when we arrived. After going over the lesson Barbara served us all apple crisp with whipped cream. It was delicious! She gave me the recipe so I can fix it for the missionaries when they come over for dinner later in the week.
When I got home I finished blogging then read James another chapter from Aunt Dimity. I got 12,000 steps before going to bed.
My breakfast. I'm trying to eat more protein.
