Hope you are having a Happy New Year Day!
Hope 2 0 1 8 is great!!
We watched an hour of the Rose Parade
and the entire Rose Bowl.
We were rooting for Oklahoma, but they
lost in double overtime.
At seven o'clock this evening I got out of my jammies
and we went to the hospital to see Dan Black,
who entered the hospital yesterday with pneumonia.
He hopes to be out of the ICU by tomorrow.

We did family history this morning with Kathleen. She is so kind to come help us every Friday from ten till noon.
I got caught up on some grocery shopping while Walt worked on getting the tree in the family room taken down.
For our Friday night movie on TV we watched...
Saturday, January 6, 2018
We got the live tree in the family room taken down.
Walt finally sawed the tree in half to get the lights all off.
Darrell Roskelley came over to help Walt get the vacuum working again. It was plugged up with the pine needles he'd vacuumed up.
Walt put himself on clear liquids today. This diarrhea he has had off and on for about 3 weeks is getting worse.
Working on invitation for our book club...

Walt had to stay home from Church, but after being on clear liquids for a day and a half he did eat some chicken pot pie about three o'clock.'
Our Burley Third Ward church block was nice with 16 sharing their testimonies in our Fast & Testimony Meeting:
1. Bishop Steve Gerratt - Where he works, at the beginning of
of a new year everyone is thinking about a raise in pay.
He said in the Church we can get "Spiritual Raises" by
keep doing the every-day things like reading our
scriptures, saying our prayers, and keeping the
commandments. He is so appreciative of everyone's
willingness in the ward to fulfill their callings.ds
Last week 15 new callings were issued.
He always shares a strong testimony of the truths
of the Gospel.
We all love our Bishop Gerratt.
2. Amber Green - Thankful for her four years of teaching
Gospel Doctrine but now happy to being called to work
in the Young Women...
Shares a strong testimony of the truths of the Gospel.
3. Ruth Melling -- A while back when I bore my testimony I
was so nervous I couldn't say all I wanted to say, but I'm
never going to let my being nervous stop me from
bearing my testimony. Thankful for Jesus Christ and
for His directing the Prophet Joseph Smith to bring
forth the Book of Mormon. I love learning from the
Book of Mormon. Thankful for my family and all they
do for me. Thankful for you friends and for he Bishopric
and all they do for me. I want my Heavenly Father to
know I love Him and want to serve Him for the
remainder of my life.
4. Elder Hammond - a new full-time missionary in our ward
from Arizona - gave a short, powerful testimony of the
truths of the Gospel.
5. Elder Wilkes - missionary new to our ward from Florida -
The Book of Mormon is our Liahona. Quoted what
Joseph Smith said about his First Vision: "I knew I had
seen God and I knew God knew I had seen Him, and
I dare not deny it." And even tho Joseph Smith was
persecuted for saying he had seen God, he never did
deny the truth.
"I know the Gospel is true," said Elder Wilkes. He read
a neat poem that is mother sent with him on his
his mission. It started with "We live with faith...my
goal is heaven...I will not flinch...paid up for the cause
of Christ. (maybe I can google it)
Elder W ended with "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
6. Don Green - He is thankful to Heavenly Father for all He
blesses us with. Many things we take for granted.
With loved ones one on before.... thankful Jesus
Christ restored His Church. Thankful for the
Apostles, the stake leaders and especially ward
leaders and our Bishop.
7. LaNada Kerbs - I do have a testimony of the Church...been
so busy was slacking on my reading the scriptures,
but I'm back reading them for an hour each morning
before I start work. At the temple yesterday a lady
said to me: "Don't forget who you are."
I'm grateful for my family.
8. Heidi B -- I bear testimony of the truthfulness of the
Gospel. Have a good neighbor who had me come to
a women's meeting at her Church. She talked about
finding Joy through knowing Christ better. It
helped me focus on Joy in Christ this Christmas.
She has good in her Church but we have all the
Gospel because of Joseph Smith.
I will miss my primary class--they know the
Articles of Faith so well. I am happy to be called to
work in the Young Women and get to know these
young girls.
9. Kathleen Hedberg -- In the temple many times I feel a real
closeness to the person I am going through for. We
have so much help now in doing family history. I
have been doing Swedish research for many years. A
few months ago I found indexes that help us find
names so much faster. I imagine the spirits from
heaven hovering over us saying: "We're doing all we
can to help you get our work done." If you're just
starting family history work, know that it will not
always be easy. As Lehi said "Opposition in all
things.
I have a testimony that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
Joseph Smith brought back the Gospel.
(Walt just came in needing something. I'll finish this later.}

In Sunday School we are beginning the study of the Old Testament -- Lesson 1 "This is My Work and My Glory." Purpose: "To help us understand that (1) We are children of God, (2) We can resist Satan's temptations, and (3) God's work and glory is to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life."
Relief Society was "How Do I Minister?"
We hope you have had a peaceful and restful Sabbath Day.
We testify that...
Heavenly Father knows us and loves us, as does our Heavenly Mother. We are created in Their image. They want us to find joy in this life, follow Them, and return to Them.
Jesus Christ was sent to become our Redeemer and Savior
and He also knows us by name and loves us. He is our Advocate with the Father.
May we always love Them, believe Them, and follow Them, so that we may be able to live with Them forever.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
