January 14, 2013

Yesterday I taught my priesthood class. I had Conrad, Nekoro, Oral and Alex. We talked about the history of the Priesthood from Adam to Joseph Smith. I love those boys. I hope they will soon become Melchizedek Priesthood men and magnify their callings. After church we went with Sister Davis and visited Sister Newland and I gave her a priesthood blessing.

Church was good. Brother Ford is getting married this week and leaving the Branch. Sister Carr was there with several of her children. She is an inactive member we have been working with since we came here. Sister Christine Thompson was there for the first time in years. Sister McLean was there but her son Jesse didn't make it. Marie Davis wanted to get a Patriarchal Blessing but President Barrett said she wasn't ready. Sister Reid was sad that I couldn't give her money but I told her to ask President Barrett. I told her she needed to get her 20 year old grandsons to get to work if they were going to keep living there and bleeding her for every cent. I told her I would pay them to wash my truck but I wouldn't just give them money for nothing. We tried to visit Oral Campbell but he wouldn't answer his phone. His wife was at church and asked us to visit him. All in all it was a good day.
