Journal Entry 

The doctor that Cathy visited yesterday turned out to be, it seemed to us, very knowledgeable about osteoporosis and provided what sounded like very good options for medication and treatment. Cathy has had no back pain for several days now and we hope to keep it that way. We are both planning to serve in the Bishops Storehouse later today.

We are getting a visit from our new post control people today and hope they can be effective in controlling the spiders and wasps that seem to be trying to take hold outside or house. We want to keep them outside and get rid of them.

Come Follow Me 

Helaman 3:35 Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God. 

"To be filled with the Holy Ghost means to be filled with joy. And to be filled with joy means to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Our joy increases as we work daily to bring the Spirit into our lives."

        Elder Craig C. Christensen of The Seventy

This is an email I sent to Adam after watching this conference talk by Sister Marriott hoping that Myisha might also see it and receive it in the intended way... That our family could, in my opinion, greatly benefit from her love and association with us.

Adam: I watched this conference talk by Sister Marriott and couldn't help thinking what a great blessing you and Myisha could be to our family if we could only work together to get past the problems we have had in the past and move forward with love and respect. I hope you don't see this as criticism but as an attempt to reach out and improve our family.

Yielding Our Hearts to God
