Traces of Time...June 22-28, 2020 final

Traces of Time . . .
(To see last week's blog post--scroll down to the end of this week, then the Week of June 15-21, 2020 will be there. If it's not, hit "Older Posts." at the bottom right.) 
THIS WEEK- 
JUNE 22-28, 2020

MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2020 
Family is Everything…

 Karen, Walt's long-term hospice
nurse, comes every 
Monday and Thursday.
 Walt is having a good day.
 Loved the red candles
Julie used for the
Father's Day steak dinner
yesterday.
 We had some home-made
hamburgers today.
 TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2020 
Family is Everything…
Anna was set apart today as
a missionary to serve in the
Finland Helsinki Mission
June 24, 2020 to Dec. 2021
Carter served Oct 2019 to Mar 2020
in the Brazil San Salvador South Mission
and has been on the Covid 19 Pandemic
release and has been
called now to the 
Idaho Pocatello Mission
leaving June 30, 2020.
  A nice summer day.
 Marci comes on Tuesday, Thursday,
and Saturday to give Walt
a shower. She also shaves
him now that his hands 
are so unsteady.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 2020 
Family is Everything…
 We had a great serendipity
today...
 Our dear friends drove from
Burley, Idaho, to see us.
 Their granddaughter, Janeal Rydalch,
is doing her MTC experience online
at her home in Idaho Falls, for
her Braazil Cordiceba Mission.
Our grandson, Carter Petersen,
was 5 months in his 
Brazil San Salvador South Mission
(before the Covid19 pandemic
interruption). He was so
excited that one of his
teachers in the Brazil MTC--
Irma Gisely--is also teaching
Sister Rydalch.
 The hospice chaplain, Wayne Griffaths,
 stopped by for a minute.
 Neal and Kenna Wyatt, what a
fun surprise to have you 
come to visit us!
 We had such a wonderful visit!
Happy 55th Wedding Anniveresary,
Neal and Kenna Wyatt 
June 24, 2020.
 Then we had another fun
serendipity!
Janie and Shawn came by to see us.
 June 24th is Janie's birthday!
 For our Wednesday movie night
treat we had K-bars instead of
popcorn with our root beer.
 Wednesday Night Movie "with" Gary
G H O S T  from 1990
 
 We should tell our loved ones
we love them while we're alive!
I liked the way it showed
his spirit body leaving the earth.

 Walt is showered and ready for the day.
Thanks, Marci.
Karen said his heart sounds good.
Blood pressure 154/82 is good.
Notice the brown couch.
Now you see it...
...now you don't!
A lot of popcorn fell under it
on movie nights...which Julie
vacuumed up before...
...they brought in the
new grey love seat.
Thank you, John, Steve, and Carter's friend.
FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2020 
Family is Everything…
 Another nice June day. 
SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 2020 
Family is Everything…
Twice a year the residential area
has a yard sale. You just put things
you want to sell out front.
...no one wanted a nice couch
with reclining seats on each end.
Jackson keeps the front lawn
nicely mowed.
Thanks again, Marci.
Maddie keeps the back lawn
nicely mowed.
Grampa hangin' out in the kitchen.
Maddie still mowing the back lawn.
Don't remember what we were
watching...probably an old
movie on TCM.

Family is Everything…
                                                                   Saratoga Utah Stake started holding Sacrament Meeting again today after 15 weeks (since March 15). Our neighborhood goes at 9:00 to 9:45 am. However, ages 65 are over are discouraged from gathering because of the Corona virus still having many new cases every day.

Our photo from
 last June 2019...the last Sunday in June.
Who knew Church would just reopen
on this last Sunday in June of 2020
after all Church meetings being
cancelled since March 15, 2020,
because of a global pandemic
of the Corona Virus?
  
*** *** ***
We are so thankful for The Plan of Salvation
and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ
that makes this Great Plan operational.

At the end of this June  28th,
we pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...

We share these truths as our testimony to you...
Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when 
we leave this mortal existence.  
He loves us just as we are at this very moment.
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all. 
*** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration.  He is the Restorer of all things.
*** *** ***
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world. 
*** *** ***
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
*** *** ***
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
*** *** ***
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  
*** *** ***
Of these truths we testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
