Taking Tuesday Off
I took another day off, actually the evening off, and didn't join Steven at the MTC tonight. I'm seeing if I can get over this cold or sinus infection or whatever it is I have. Because Richard has a cold, too, it seems like maybe we have the same thing. Steven said the speaker was Elder James M. Dunn of the Seventy. We haven't heard him before. Steven said he talked about finding people to teach. I missed meeting with the new district and also telling Elder Schow and Elder Hatton goodbye again before they leave on Thursday. Hopefully, I'll be better pretty soon.

Sick Day
Today is Richard's day off from work and we are just sitting around here in the house being sick together. We both have colds and it is no fun! I went down to sleep in Sarah's room last night so I wouldn't disturb Dad with all my cold noises, and when I woke up it was 10:00! I haven't done anything like that since I can't remember when. Dad made his lunch and went off to work and I didn't even know it. Here's hoping Richard and I can get over what we have and that Dad can stay well. I never really got over my December sickness, so this just feels like a continuation.
Tonight for FHE Richard gave the lesson on Pres. Eyring's article in this month's Ensign, "Feeding His Lambs," which is about why and how we are to nourish others. On page 7 of the article Pres. Eyring talks about two keys in receiving help in "feeding His lambs," or nourishing others. They are (1) daily study of the scriptures, and (2) the prayer of faith. "The Holy Ghost will guide what we say if we study and ponder the scriptures every day. The words of the scriptures invite the Holy Spirit. The Lord said it this way: 'Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men' (D&C 11:21). With daily sudy of the scriptures, we can count on this blessing even in casual conversations or in a class when we may be asked by a teacher to respond to a question." On p. 8, Pres. Eyring says, "Just as pondering the scriptures invites the Holy Ghost, so does daily pleading in prayer. If we do not ask in prayer, He will rarely come, and without our petition, He is not likely to linger...Heartfelt, constant pleading for the campanionship of the Holy Ghost, with the pure intent to nourish our Father's children, will surely bring blessings to us and to those we love and serve." I think this is a good lesson and reminder for all of us. Great lesson, Rich. I think we should all read this article.
