Journal Entry

We added an extra day to our Florida journey and it paid off pretty nicely. We took a drive that got us to the beach. The water was calm and the temperature was low 80s. Very nice. But we also saw a lot of damage still being cleaned up after the two devastating hurricanes that ripped through here just a few short weeks ago.

We also went to lunch at a beach hangout called "Whiskey Joe's" that was right on the beach and very cute but the food was expensive and kind of medium at best. Still, it was fun and, I think, contributed greatly to Cathy feeling better.

Come Follow Me 

Ether 6:12 And they did land upon the shore of the promised land. And when they had set their feet upon the shores of the promised land they bowed themselves down upon the face of the land, and did humble themselves before the Lord, and did shed tears of joy before the Lord, because of the multitude of his tender mercies over them.

"If we are faithful in keeping our covenants, we too will one day arrive safely home and will bow before the Lord and shed tears of joy for the multitude of His tender mercies in our lives, including the sorrows that made space for more joy.

I testify that as we commend ourselves unto the Lord and consistently and resiliently trust in Jesus Christ and His divine purposes in our lives, He will visit us with assurances, speak peace to our souls, and cause us to “hope for our deliverance in him.”

Elder L. Todd Budge Of the Seventy, October 2019
