    I did my first day at Willis Towers Watson. Apparently my first week will be largely in the southern part of the county. I plan to clarify soon that I was hired for the Salt Lake office. Considering that the bill of the work is done remotely as teams are geographically separated it shouldn’t matter…

    Laura was depressed and overwhelmed by the accumulation of stuff from the kids that was cluttering our room for the last week. She had become angry at God and told me this morning that she wanted nothing to do with the church or the people in church. She has had years to feel isolated (because…

    I was finally able to make good progress today. I changed out the light switches that needed to be updated, got the new light box in the ceiling of Alyssa’s room, patched the old light box, and put putty where necessary to smooth things over. (I even wired a temporary drop light to operate by…

    I finally took it upon myself to clean Mariah’s bedroom. Laura joined and by the extreme end of the day (1AM desire the timestamp) we had cleaned all the girls’ bedrooms and much of the house. We are all exhausted but it was worth it this time

    I noticed a theme in conference taking about the priests being a vehicle to invite people to Christ. In Ether 12 ether is preaching and inviting people to come to Christ to avoid destruction and as Moroni ads his commentary he is inviting his readers to come to Christ.

    In a time of peace that had lasted during the long reign of multiple kinds, why did Her opt to bring back the old plans to kill his father? Was he simply impatient to ascend to the throne? Was he in line to be the next king of he hasn’t killed his father?

    I finally made some progress on the bedroom today. I determined that I didn’t need to move the other boxes to fit an extra layer of sheetrock so I abandoned the idea of cutting it and replacing the sheetrock. Laura asked that we replace the plugs in the process so I bought new outlets and…
