148. Link to a video of the Miles Sisters Trio singing -- in 2012. (We've seen better days!)

I haven't felt very good for a few weeks -- gastritis!  I guess taking too many ibuprofen or aspirin helped it come on.  The medicine sometimes helps, and other times may not.  The main thing I am not enjoying is the nausea I feel often in the mornings, but by lunch it is usually mostly gone. Time will tell, but I have had Priesthood blessings that have said I would fully recover.  Sometimes our desires and prayers take longer to materialize than others! 

  I have enjoyed writing about my mother's life recently, and today will be a rather short entry -- This Video of Pal, Vina, and Mavis singing, "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" was taken at Mavis' home in Salt Lake in 2012.  Not bad for 77, 76, and 72 year olds!  (Now 2 years older!) 

 But in our younger days, we sounded much better!
                                     Then! -- 1955
        This was taken in 2012, about when we recorded the song.

 So turn on your sound, and check it out!

 I hope all of you dear Mother's had a wonderful Mother's Day.

2011. “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing”: Mental Health and the Spirit of God By Roger Connors · June 3, 2022, from Meridian Magazine

 I have loved how Wilford Woodruff wrote "I went on my way rejoicing!" “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing”: Mental Health and the Spirit of God  By  Roger Connors  · June 3, 2022 As a mission president, you are constantly looking for ways to help missionaries cope with the anxiety and stress of life on a mission. While it can be incredibly rewarding, missionary work isn’t easy—particularly when life provides a surprise like a worldwide pandemic that literally increases the difficulty of missionary life in an instant. Add to that the normal challenges of mental and physical health that manifest at this age and the need becomes even clearer: mental health isn’t something you can just assume, it’s something you have to develop and maintain. [1] I remember being quite amazed at the missionary life of Wilford Woodruff. He participated in the difficult march with Zion’s camp, then chose to stay in Missouri to do missionary work. He was an amazing missionary, serving several missions

211. The Palmyra Temple -- The rest of the story -- (History)

Image
Subject: Palmyra Temple--Rest of the Story T We rarely know all the details of a completed temple.   Much goes on in the months and years prior to its completion.   The Palmyra, NY temple is no exception and the story is one of great vision, insight and the Lord's intervention . The story starts years before, perhaps years before anyone thought to build a temple here.    In 1907 Apostle George Albert Smith purchased a portion of the original Smith farm for $16,000.   In 1915 he sold it to the Church for $1.00 and President Joseph F. Smith called Bro Willard Bean and wife Rebecca on a 5 year mission to manage the farm and be the first stationary missionaries in the area since the Saints removed to Ohio in 1830.  They served here for 25 years! making numerous improvements to the farm,  softening the attitudes of the local residents, helping the Church to acquire more of the farm, and even the hill we now call the Hill Cumorah.  The Hill Cumorah pageant had its beginnin

How appropriate this is for July 24th, in just 3 days!  This is for all you readers who have pioneer ancestors , or you are a pioneer in your own family, or country.  You can send in your own story! Today I begin a training period so I can go back to our local Family History Center, and be a volunteer to help others.  From about 1992 to 2011, I volunteered, and 2 times served a 1 year mission there.  But since then, there are so many new things in technology that I need to catch up!   I took a class recently on how to upload photos and other memories on to Family Search, in Family Tree, and I have had so much fun doing that!  Both Wayne and I have had health problems over the last year or two, but we are at a time things are going better, and I want to get back to one of the things I love most -- FAMILY HISTORY, AND GENEALOGY! ! !
