The Immediate Goodness of God

Elder Kyle S. McKay

"Emiie's healing and ultimate deliverance took a long time - months of treatment, training, and counseling, during which she was sustained and sometimes carried by His goodness. And that goodness continued with her as she entered the temple with her husband and children to be sealed together forever. Like the eople of Zarahemla, Emilie now gives thanks as she reflects on the immediate goodness of God and His power in delivering her from bondage."

Letters from Ben came early today. This one is from me and then Ben's answer to me:

This one is from Sheri to Ben and then his answer:

I just had to post this picture of Ben's

Monday is always a good day when we hear from our missionary!

James went to town today. Last week when he returned from the valley he noticed a bump on the driver's front tire. We need a new tire. Thank goodness we bought the warranty. The new tire cost us $35.

He also went to the bank for some important financial matters and then on to Walmart to pick up my prescriptions. The methotrexate was ready but there is an issue with the tramadol. When the AARA sent the refill they used a stamped signature and it has to be a "wet" signature because tramadol is an opiate. I called the AARA and told them the problem. It is just frustrating because it seems there is always an issue with this prescription.

Two things happened in the book biz today. We sold a book, and I got another 5-Star rating! Those ratings are few and far between because most people don't want to take the time but they are important to my account and my standing with Amazon.

The Grapp's were going to come over for FHE to watch "When Calls the Heart" but they had to cancel because of a sick baby. We rescheduled for next Monday.

It rained about 5 minutes today. We need more. The sunflowers are beginning to blossom though.
