Addy, Ruby, Max.

Got up and took some Naprosyn and then got sick to my stomach.  I went back to sleep on the recliner until just before conference at 9am.  I loved this first session!  Here are a couple of quotes:

"Remain steadfast in the faith.  At sometime you

will be called up to defend your faith."

-Jeffrey R. Holland

"Pure Christ like love flowing from true righteousness can

change the world."

-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We need to value what the Lord values."

-Ronald A. Rasband

"The Savior has the power to heal and cleanse you."

-Linda S. Reeves

For lunch I made a chicken, onion, green bean, gravy, stuffing casserole.  James loved it and so did I.  We were ready for the second session when it was time.

"Keeping divine commandments 

brings blessings every time."

-Elder Russell M. Nelson

"We must sincerely love those we

want to help in righteousness."

-Elder Richard G. Scott

"Through our obedience we show our love for God."

-Elder Robert D. Hales

After the second session we took a nap and then I cut James's hair.  I made us some strawberry shortcake before he left to pick up Chuck Crane and go to the priesthood session.  I discovered the priesthood session was on here so I watched it too.  I especially enjoyed Elder Ridd's talk on technology.

When James got home I finish watching President Monson's talk while he does some paperwork for his job and then we watch last week's The Mentalist.  

Love this mountain!

I found a way to keep my tooth in during the day.  It's called cinnamon Trident gum.  I works better than anything else.  I still take it out at night and when I eat.  

 Holly, this one's for you,

just a reminder as to what can happen.

I got up this morning and colored my hair because yesterday James told me he saw lots of gray.  I should have taken my shower before James took his bath because he used most of the hot water.

We got a text from Presidential Realty today.  The buyer wants to reduce the price by $100,000.  No thank you Layne Peterson from Silver Creek Investment, we will pass.  It is very discouraging!

Today is Lannie Gillespie's birthday and I had a gift for her but I forgot to bring it.  James was coming later so I called and asked him to bring it.  He did, but he dropped the card.  He goes home to get it before going to Show Low to visit the Country Club Manor Elder's Quorum.  I do appreciate him.  Lannie is such a dear friend and I am so grateful to be her visiting teacher

The Pete and Donna Stock family speak in our sacrament meeting.  It is really to say hello and then goodbye.  Donna and the kids have been in our ward for about a month but now they are moving back to Show Low to be with their dad and husband. 

In Sunday School we talked about the importance and blessing of having a prophet of God lead the Church. 

In Young Women's Diana Curtis gave a lesson on the attributes of Christ.  I think this lesson saved me.  I really needed it today.  Some of the attributes of Christ are: Faith, hope, charity and love, virtue, knowledge, patience, humility, diligence, and obedience.  Here is what it says about patience in the Preach My Gospel manual on p. 120:  "Patience is the capacity to endure delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated, or anxious.  It is the ability to do God's will and accept His timing.  When you are patient, you hold up under pressure and are able to face adversity calmly and hopefully.  Patience is related to hope and faith - you must wait for the Lord's promised blessings to be fulfilled.  You need patience in your everyday experiences and relationships, especially with your companion.  You must be patient with all people, yourself included, as you work to overcome faults and weaknesses."

I had my Burger House green chili burro for lunch.  When James got home I made him a grilled tuna and cheese sandwich with tomato soup.  He ate both of his burros yesterday.

James rests while I clean before our home teachers come.  When Collin and Chuck, our home teachers get here after the message, we visit about choosing a new fire chief for Vernon, James's leg, and my arthritis.
