Journal Entry 

Today is our 48th Anniversary. Looking forward to an eternity together.

I got the Wills and Trust paperwork from our attorney and scheduled an appointment for today at 1300. However, after Cathy and I looked everything over we decided we needed a few more days to determine what questions we needed to get answered so we're putting the meeting off until later next week.

Today will be a relaxing day now. In fact everything is going to be pretty low key until after my prostate surgery which will be next Monday. That should result in a few more days of medical discomfort but after that I should be 150% better than recently. We'll see.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 101:2 I, the Lord, have suffered the affliction to come upon them, wherewith they have been afflicted, in consequence of their transgressions;

3 Yet I will own them, and they shall be mine in that day when I shall come to make up my jewels.

4 Therefore, they must needs be chastened and tried, even as Abraham, who was commanded to offer up his only son.

5 For all those who will not endure chastening, but deny me, cannot be sanctified.

"We each understand that difficulties are part of life, but when they come to us personally, they can take our breath away. Without being alarmed, we need to be ready. The Apostle Peter said, “Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you.” Along with the bright colors of happiness and joy, the darker-colored threads of trial and tragedy are woven deeply into the fabric of our Father’s plan. These struggles, although difficult, often become our greatest teachers."

Elder Neil L. Andersen, Apostle
