Kathie took one with Eileen in it.
We enjoy talking with each other.
Something with the acoustics made

to hear each other in there.
We miss those who cannot come.
Next week we're going to Olive Garden.

Family is Everything…
Today Gary drove me to my
appointment with Dr. Goff to
have my monthly eye injection.
This is injection #4.
Good news on the eye exam:
I can now go 7 weeks between injections,
instead of 4 weeks.
They put a lot of numbing in the
eye before the injection.
I sure appreciate Gary driving
me to these appointments.
We rendezvoused with
Steve and Natalie at Street Tacos
in American Fork,
...delicious tacos.
Then Steve and Natalie took me
to the Cinemax there to see Cruella
We enjoyed it a lot!
SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 2021
Family is Everything…
A quiet day.
Julie and a lot of ward members did
the temple session with Mark and Kim Beecher
when their youngest, Brennon, received his
endowment before entering the MTC for
the Texas Houston South Mission,
July 2021-July 2023.
Julie said everyone was so touched
when President and Sister Beecher,
their four older children and spouses.
and Brennon were in the prayer circle
together with Bishop and Sister Cheney.
A very tender experience.

5. Emotional Comunication...sharing the full
range of human emotions: joy, sadness, anger,
fear and shame with another."

After Church I had my ward temple
recommend interview with John,
who is in our Ward Bishopric now.
He did such a good job.
It made me so thankful
to be his mother-in-law!
This afternoon I had the Stake Presidency
interview with President Dayne Petersen.
He grew up in Minneapolis, received his
M.D. degree from the University of Iowa,
then did post medical work in St. Louis,
I think he said with the Barnes Medical
Group, which is connected with the
Washington University School of Medicine,
where Walt received his M.D. degree.
Small world!
Dr. Dayne Petersen is a specialist
in pediatric cranial plastic surgery,
and does a lot of surgical work in
Guatemala in repairing cleft pallets.

At the end of this June 27th,
I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
*I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and
the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes
this Great Plan operational.
I share these truths as my 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 I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
