860. Beautiful thoughts about the Holy Ghost, last days, faith and works, being like Christ, trials, and prayer.
I've had problems with my computer, and soon will have a special line to my computer, so it will work better. I am enjoying seeing many more of my family now I am living in Bountiful, Utah, and also I enjoyed a visit to St. George last weekend, seeing family down there. This weekend I will go to Idaho for the blessing of my latest great grandchild, a boy born on February 1, 2017! I will be a few days, so may not post anything for perhaps a week or so.
