And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Book of Mormon #1
3 Nephi 21:1-29
* What signs of the gathering of Israel do we see today?
- Jesus told the Nephites He would give them "a sign"(3 Ne. 21:1) so they would know when the gathering of Israel had begun. He then foretold the Restoration of the Gospel the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, the establishment of a free nation in America, and the taking of the gospel to their seed (v.1-7). He called the Restoration of the latter days "a great and a marvelous work (v.9) In the early days of the Restoration, the Savior said "a marvelous work is about to come forth" (DC 4:1). President Gordon B. Hinckley spoke of the Restoration and of our responsibility to help move the work forward: "This glorious gospel was ushered in with the appearance of the Father and the Son to the boy Joseph. The dawn of the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times rose upon the world. All of the good, the beautiful, the divine of all previous dispensations was restored in this most remarkable season. Do we really comprehend, do we understand the tremendous significance of that which we have? We of this generation are the end harvest of all that has gone before. It is not enough to simply be know as a member of this Church. A solemn obligation rests upon us. We must live as true followers of Christ, with charity toward all, returning good for evil, teaching by example the ways of the Lord, and accomplishing the vast service He has outlined for us." (Ensign, May 2004, 83-4).

President Dallin H. Oaks
"When we seek the truth about religion, we should use spiritual methods appropriate for that search: prayer, the witness of the Holy Ghost, and study of the scriptures and the words of modern prophets."
As I was sitting on the recliner this morning trying to get the umph to get up and get dressed, James brought me a plate of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries with whipped cream. Wow! Talk about service! He also brought me some hot and sour soup per my request and then came and sat by me while he ate his venison steak and eggs. I made him watch Evanna and Keo's rumba from Dancing with the Stars. It was my favorite dance of the night. Evanna is the girl who played Luna Lufgood in the Harry Potter movies and she is a great dancer. I kinda hope she wins but I think the winner will be either Milo, who is a Disney star, or Juan Pablo from Full House. Whatever happens I wish Grocery Store Joe from the Bachelor or Bachelorette would go home. He can't dance people! Why are you voting for him? Kim says its the Bachelor Nation. Well I never liked that show and now I like it even less!
We had a new family arrive today. They bought a house in Vernon and their things are being shipped later. They forgot to bring any bedding so the Relief Society presidency went to work. Between Tamara, Maxine, Kerri, Kathy, and I we came up with bedding, cots, and a baby gate on very short notice. Tamara said the Campbell family is very appreciative.

I felt a little better today, at least I had more energy. I do feel like there is a heavy weight on my chest, but at least my cough and sore throat are better. I caught up on my blog and worked a little on the book business. James went into town and mailed the book to Amazon that I bought a week or so ago. We will make a little money if Amazon accepts it, which they should.
While James went into town to mail the book at UPS and do some other errands, I looked for book trades but had no luck. I also learned what a gated book is and how to find out if the book you want to buy is gated, which means you can't buy it. James checked the three books he has bought and none of them are gated.
Our goal is to put 100 books on Amazon to sell before the end of the month. We better get busy!
We really need to get this business going before James's surgery on December 5th. He will be out of commission for several weeks after that.
Happy 12th Birthday Evan!
I agree Sheri! He is pretty amazing
and I love him with all my
heart too! Looking forward to
seeing him in a couple of days!
Hope you had a great day Evan!
Did You?
No day is complete without pictures
of our Charlie!
