General Conference

Building a Fortress of Spirituality and Protection

Elder Ronald A. Rasband

"What are some ways we can fortify ourselves in troubled times, that we may be 'instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work'? Let's look to the scriptures. We are obedient. We trust the Lord. We stand for the truth. We make and renew our covenants by partaking of the sacrament and by worshipping in the temple. The sacrament is the centerpiece of our Sunday worship, where we are receiving the promise to 'always have his Spirit to be with us.'"

I made rolls this morning for the temple tomorrow. I paid bills both personal and business. 

James got a call from Dr. DeLange's office today regarding some of the results of his surgery on Monday. He definitely has a hernia that is causing acid to get up into his throat. He has an appointment on the 18th to decide what the plan of action will be.

James and I took a trip to town this afternoon. I had to pick up my prescription and do some shopping at Walmart. James needed to do some pricing at Home Depot for the remodeling project he is bidding. On the way to town we stopped at the post office and picked up five books that I had ordered. Time to start buying again. 

I sold eight books today!

Walmart was insane. I am not sure why I chose to shop on a holiday weekend. The people were loud and so was the music. I was so happy to get out of there.

Hurricane Dorian is heading towards Florida. I hope my book buddies Kathy and Kris are okay.

Tomorrow we work at the temple again. It is a fifth Saturday and it's our turn so we went to bed quite early tonight.
