Journal Entry, August 9, 2023

 Journal Entry

Started yesterday with two hours learning to operate the forklift at the Bishops' Storehouse. I'm scheduled for two more hours Friday morning. When I'm certified, I will be able to help in the warehouse by moving pallets of God's so that they can be accessed by the missionaries filling orders. 

Then took Cathy to her doctors appointment.

I went to my dental implant procedure and got done in time to serve at the Bishops' Storehouse for our regular shift. Busy day. Doc Holladay implanted a new base for a tooth in my lower left jaw. It is implanted in the bone graft that he created about three months ago. The implant needs about 4 months to heal and grow into my jaw bone and then a new tooth will be agave to it and I should be back to normal shirking after Christmas.

Today is my temple ordinance worker shift at the Mt Timpanogos temple.

Come Follow Me

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

"The Savior wrought the Atonement, which provides a way for us to become clean. Jesus Christ is the resurrected Christ. We worship and recognize Him for the pain He suffered for us collectively and for the pain He endured for each of us individually, both in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. He bore all with great humility and with an eternal understanding of His divine role and purpose."

President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostle, October 2014
