Prioritized Daily Task

Madeline McAlpin's 12th Birthday

Brian Robinson's 53rd Birthday

Tithing settlement with Bishop Yates, Lehi 7th Ward, Utah Gateway Stake

Debbie and I had prayer together before starting the day.  I called Exoticca Travel and got most of our questions answered but was told we will have to call Latam Airlines (866-435-9526, reservation code GONFWV) for seat assignments.  For $32 I purchased aisle seats 27J and 27H for me and Debbie from LA to Lemi.  I called Delta and got seats assigned for Lemi to Atlanta, We showered got dressed, and went to the church for tithing settlement at 11:30 a.m.  Afterwards, I brought Debbie home and I went back and visited with Glen Smith. Glen, age 68, has been undergoing Chemo treatments.  A few weeks ago his 43-year-old daughter, April, went with him to Lazy Bear Lodge in Churchill, Canada on Hudson Bay near Manitoba.  He sold his fifth-wheel camper/RV and bought a motor home his wife Glenda can drive.  He said the 5th wheel was starting to be too much for him.  Later I drove to Great Clips and got a $23 haircut.  I remember as a young boy, my dad took me to a country barber and got my hair cut.  He charged Dad 25 cents for my haircut.  Debbie has spent much of the day packing for our trip to Peru next week.  Debbie cooked dinner and we waited for Karlene with her daughter, Katie, and daughters-in-law, Kelsey and Ashton to arrive and spend the night with us.  They brought Karl's desk he made from his and Jalna's old home in Shelly.  They disassembled the desk and brought two chairs.  Later Katie brought two night stands she bought here in Utah.  Debbie and I had prayer together before going to bed at about 11:30 p.m.  I sent Madeline my granddaughter and Brian Robinson who is married to my niece both happy birthday wishes on a thread with other family members.

Pratt was also in NY City on a different kind of mission, a publication mission, to get the word out here in NY.  He hears stories that John Taylor has money and I need all the help I can get, with printing cost,  paper, ink, and, to pay a typesetter, so he goes to John Taylor and asks him, “Do you have any money?”  Elder Taylor says, “Yes, I have plenty of money.”  Elder Pratt says, “Ah, good, can I have $2 or $3 hundred dollars to pursue the work I am called to do?”   Brother Taylor gets a big smile on his face and...
