Priesthood In Action

Woke up to 2" snow this Sunday morn. Fast Sunday because of General Conference next week. Left at 8:30 to pick up Olinda because there was no Choir practice. Great service, good testimonies, got to 'baby-sit' a 3rd hour Primary class of 3 year olds along with Steve Ikeomu, who taught the lesson. After church we went directly to the Stake Center where we waited for the Lake Wilderness Ward to start at 1:00. That's Scott and Casey's ward, and they were going to Bless Jeffery, their new-born son. We made a good showing for the family. Casey's Mom, Dad and Grandmother were there, and Scott had his Grandma and Grandpa Leavitt, his Mom and Dad, his Grandma and Grandpa Vreeken, his Aunt Laura and Ken Mattson, and his cousin Greg Mattson. That's 12 plus his own family of 4. Scott gave a beautiful blessing.
Got home before 3:00. Snow was all gone. Day was sunny with scattered clowds. Doves, Jays, Crows, finches and squirrels took turns playing king of the hill around the feeders.
Betty and I finished reading 'The Book of Revelation Today' by Farley Anderson. Really a great book if you want to get real deep into the book of Revelation. Not for new members, though, it's too deep. It corelates with the writings of Isaiah and the Book of Mormon. Very interesting.
Watched 'The Restoration' again, I'm really impressed. We broke the fast about 4:30 pm, and then read the paper and watched a little tv. Will be interested in watching the conference next weekend. This will be the first Conference under the direction of our new Prophet, President Monson. We've got a lot to do this week. Love to all, Roland and Betty
