Prepared to Obtain Every Needful Thing

Elder David A. Bednar

"The overarching purpose of Heavenly Father's plan is for His children to become more like Him. Accordingly, He provides us with essential opportunities to grow and progress. Our commitment to learn and live according to truth is increasingly important in a world that is 'in commotion' and is ever more confused and wicked. We cannot expect simply to attend Church meetings and participate in programs and thereby receive all of the spiritual edification and protection that will enable us 'to withstand in the evil day.'"

Sold another merchant fulfilled book but it doesn't have to be shipped until July 2nd and I will be home by then.

James left for home this morning. When he got to Vernon and got his computer set up I walked him through the steps to print the shipping label for the book we sold that was supposed to ship by yesterday. It took awhile to accomplish this goal but we did it.

When James went to the post office to mail the book he also picked up the mail. I received 39 books. He sent this picture:

I have a lot of work to do when I get home!

I took the boys to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch. We all had the lunch buffet and I also bought them drinks. They ate to their hearts content and then we went back to the resort.

Later this afternoon I asked the boys what they wanted for dinner. Evan suggested to Max fried chicken from Fry's and Max agreed. Joshua didn't disagree or have any other ideas. I asked them if there was anything else I could get them. Max said bagels and cream cheese, Evan wanted gummy bears, and Joshua asked for baked Lay potato chips.

As I got ready to go I went to get my keys out of my purse and they weren't there. I went outside to the car and looked. It was locked but I could see that the keys were not in the ignition or the seat.

I figured I must have dropped them when walking back to the room after going to Peter Piper. I looked, no keys. I got the boys together and we said a prayer. I looked everywhere I could think of in both rooms. I called the front desk and asked them if anyone had turned keys in. The girl said no but she would call housekeeping and call me back. She didn't call back so I went to the front desk. I talked to Kaitlyn and gave her my phone number and told her they were my car keys and it was very important that I find them. She said she would call me if anyone found them.

By this time it was time for the boys to eat. Yesterday Max got a low blood sugar before dinner and Sheri had to text me. I didn't want that to happen again. I gave each of the boys $21 and we all went down to the Splash Grill to get some dinner. We all got cheeseburgers and fries but came back to the room to eat them because of the flies and heat. Oh yes, Max also got a pretzel and had to have another dollar to pay for his food.

I was pretty down the rest of the evening because I never got a call from the front desk. I said several prayers and when I went to bed I said another prayer that someone would turn my keys in.

Oh yes, I called Stacy, Sheri, and James and asked all of them to pray for me too.
