Dodgers won the World Series in 7 mostly very exciting games. Yesterday they won game seven 5-4 in 11 innings after trailing 3-0 early in the game.

Cathy was feeling poorly early and we went to the Insta-care facility at our local (American Fork) hospital. She has a rather severe UTI and she got two prescriptions that should help. While we were waiting for the prescriptions to be filled by our pharmacy we drove the Alpine Loop up American Fork Canyon and down through Provo Canyon.

While we were driving we got word by text from Becky that they now have definitive plans to "sort of" elope and get married in La Jolla, California on November 16 - two weeks from today. Basically nobody will be there and they will come home as a finally married couple. They have definite plans to become sealed in a temple  - probably the San Diego  temple - at a future time. 

They have an offer on Kevin's house and that was one of the final steps enabling their marriage to proceed. We will not be at their wedding but will definitely be at their Sealing. I am very pleased with this development as is Cathy.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 124:144 And a commandment I give unto you, that you should fill all these offices and approve of those names which I have mentioned, or else disapprove of them at my general conference;

"You may have been asked, or you will be, whether you sustain your bishop, stake president, the General Authorities, and the General Officers of the Church. It may happen as you are asked to sustain officers and leaders in a conference. Sometimes it will be in an interview with a bishop or stake president.

My counsel is that you ask those questions of yourself beforehand, with careful and prayerful thought. As you do, you might look back on your recent thoughts, words, and deeds. Try to remember and frame the answers you will give when the Lord interviews you, knowing that someday He will."

President Henry B. Eyring 

It ought to be noted that by sustaining church authorities we are committing to work with them when and as appropriate.
