Prioritized Daily Task

Royal Caribbean  June 11-23, 2024 balance due $9,807.38 for me and Debbie;  date Mar 13.  Reservation ID - 8681182  Matt, Melodie, and girls 

Woke up early this morning with diarrhea.  I had to shower and wash out my clothes I went to sleep yesterday evening at about 7 p.m.  I was still sick with diarrhea when I got in the shower.  I did not go back to bed but slept on the couch the rest of the night.  I learned not only to not drink the water in Peru but don't use it to rinse your toothbrush.  When Debbie and I got up I thanked the Lord in our morning prayer I was not sick in Peru or on the airlines.  I had chicken noodle soup for breakfast and spent the day working on bills and our travel next year with Royal Caribbean and Air2Sea.  Royal Caribbean raised the price by almost 30% because I changed the date to one week later to accommodate the children's schedule.   I did change the date so the rate increase because I had given them a reason to increase the price but when Air2Sea wanted to change arrangements from a nonstop to a one-stop flying all night and then a long wait before getting on the cruise line.  I spoke and was on hold with Nicole at Air2Sea for over an hour.  She put a request to Alaska Airlines to honor the 7 of us traveling together on the same flight as we were originally scheduled.  I took the garbage and recycle containers to the street to be picked up Monday morning.  It has been snowing and cold but not freezing.  I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup and Debbie had a nice meal of baked chicken.  We had prayer and I went to bed.  Debbie stayed up talking to Matthew getting the TV working in the theater room downstairs for Shelby and her friends who plan to come over and make smoors over the fire in the firepit and watch a movie.

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...
