Alma 36:18
Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 5:26-6:7
"Be believing, be happy, don't get discouraged. Things will work out." - Gordon B. Hinckley
*What are ways that you live after the manner of happiness?
- "Living after the manner of happiness means to see the good. There is a lot in this world that is hard or bad. Focus on the good. Choose joy. Choose happiness. Choose to stay on the covenant path. Find the blessing in the trial." - jlandersen78, Instagram

Believe, Love, Do
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"The scriptures reveal that the more we love God and His children, the happier we become. The love God speaks of is the kind that enters our hearts when we awake in the morning, stays with us throughout the day, and swells in our hearts as we give voice to our prayers of gratitude at evening's end. It is this endless compassion that allows us to more clearly see others for who they are. Through the lens of pure love, we see immortal beings of infinite potential and worth and beloved sons and daughters of Almighty God."
"When we understand our baptismal covenant and the gift of the Holy Ghost, it will change our lives and will establish our total allegiance to the kingdom of God. When temptations come our way, if we will listen, the Holy Ghost will remind us that we have promised to remember our Savior and obey the commandments of God..." Robert D. Hales
Cloudy days make me and Kim happy!
We sold our first merchant fulfilled book today, "American Jubilee." This was one of my books. We made about $3.00. Woohoo.
We got the scanner James ordered and now he is trying to figure out how to use it. I am afraid the scanner won round one.
Although I have frosted sugar cookies in the freezer I decided to make some more for tomorrow, Valentine's Day. While the cookies were setting up in the refrigerator, I made some Valentines.
These are for the Catherine, Kerri, Cammy,
Thomas and the Wilhelm's.
I still have to make some for the four Grapp kids.
While I baked cookies this evening James went to the church to take Sister Wilson a copy of the "Come Follow Me" manual. Her daughter is supposed to be in James's Primary class but she doesn't come very often.
Somehow I walked over 15,000 steps today. James is still working on the scanner. Now he says we need an app that comes with a monthly fee.
I called my ministering companion, Marie Robertson, to see if she would be able to go on visits with me tomorrow. She had walking pneumonia in January and is still not feeling well. I wished her a happy Valentine's day and tole her I would do the visits myself.
I set up something with Catherine and Cammy. Jean is out of town closing on the house they bought in the valley.
While working today I had an old Hallmark movie on, "Sand, Sun, and Romance" starring Tricia Helfer and Paul Campbell.
