our "heavenly home."

Remembering Walt's sister today on her
92nd birthday -- her 31st one in heaven.

Family is Everything...
We received some great
family news from Walt's
nephew and wife, Mitch and Karen Bunn:
Their son Luke and his wife Becca,
had a baby boy today.
His name is: Daniel William Bunn
What a precious baby!

   Ladies' Lunch was at Olive Garden.
We had great service, delicious food,
and always fun and interesting
conversations. We have great
love for each other...not just during
'the week of Valentine's Day,'
but every day of the year!
Nine were able to come.
Clockwise from left:
Carol, Kaye, MaryAnn, Sandi,
Sharon, Eileen, Sue,
Linda H, Kathie.

Sharon, Sandi.
MaryAnn, Kaye, Carol.
Eileen, Sue.
Linda H, Kathie.
These gals braved the icy wind
for the outdoor photo.
Kaye, Carol, Sue, Kathie.
It was lightly snowing most of the
time we were having lunch.
We always miss those who can't come.
This week one was quarantined one
more day by Covid, a couple were sick,
one had the funeral of a cousin,
and one is in Egypt.

Bro. Wade Olcott, Executive Secretary
for the Stake Presidency and
David South from our Bishopric
came to visit me this evening as
part of the preliminary week for
our Ward Conference coming
up Sunday.
It's always nice to be remembered.
I didn't get a photo.

For our Wednesday night movie
Gary and I chose
"Anna and the King"
from 1999

This is the third version we
have seen: 1946, 1956, and
this one from 1999.
I always love being with Gary
for our Wednesday night movies.

Next Wednesday night
we will finish the last 41 minutes
of this movie and see if there's
a documentary about the life
of Anna Leonowens and her
time teaching the children
and wives of the King of Siam...for
March we're going to do
"Irish movies."

Phyllis and Dale Bunn have 21 gc, 18 g-gc
Walt and Eileen Petersen have 39 gc, 6 g-gc come July.
Dale and Vicki have 14 gc, possibly 1g-gc

The Abrahamic Test

The Abrahamic Test                                           "Is any thing too hard for the Lord?"

--Genesis 18:14
Daily Scripture:** Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. - Genesis 18:14
Daily Quote: Because God has been faithful and kept His promises in the past, we can hope with confidence that God will keep His promises to us in the present and in the future. - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

**** I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this Great Plan operational.

At the end of this February 20th,
I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
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.
