30 - There was continual peace among them and great prosperity.

I love the Savior, and Elder Holland
We have new neighbors. I saw a truck driving around at the tree line behind our house. At first I thought it was James but then I realized his truck was parked out in front. James went down and spoke to the guy driving the truck. He was a surveyor. He said someone had bought the 290 acres behind us. He put up a pink flag visible from my dining room window and left. I don't like looking at that pink flag. It is a reminder that all that I see is no longer open land.
Later James was running the chainsaw out back and I heard our doorbell ring. At the door stood our new neighbors, Dave and Wendi Elkins. They said they heard someone running a chain saw and so they came over to meet us. I directed them back to where James was working and they drove their 4-wheeler around to meet him. They are excited about the property but have not yet retired so for now they will be coming up on the weekends. They seem like very nice people. For some reason I am a little sad.
For lunch today I fixed corn on the cob, asparagus, avocado, and a Rice-a-Roni rice and red beans combination. Everything was delicious, including the rice and beans.
This afternoon I set up Skype on my computer in preparation for my Prolympian training. James bought a log splitter from a company in Pennsylvania. It cost $1,599.00 and he also bought an accessories for $80.
I read this quote today from an article in the Ensign by Elder Bednar: "Not shrinking is more important than surviving." The quote is by Elder Maxwell after he found out he had leukemia.
This evening I read from "Discovering the Word of Wisdom", "The Seven Miracles that Saved America", and my current Fablehaven book, "Rise of the Evening Star."
We heard some sad news today. A friend of James's, Kemp Farnsworth, passed away of a heart attack. Kemp worked for James framing houses many years ago. He was about 10 years younger than we are.

Sister Holland is awesome too!
