Flu shots

We finally got our flu shots. We tried to get our shots at the clinic held in the mall, but we were too young and too healthy. I called the Doctor's office and made an appointment for the shot. The Doctor we go to is a little old man from India. He comes in with a very long needle. He made Kent turn his head. He didn't put any antiseptic on are arms, just jabbed us with the needle. I told Kent when we got out that we had better hurry home and pray! Seriously, we are enjoying our mission. Two of our YSA members just got their mission calls this week. Nofa is going to Romania Bucharest and Ben is going to Argentina Nequen. They will be great missionaries.

Scripture for the Week

Moroni 10:32-33. I just love this scripture, don't you?

Family Trivia Question of the Week

Last week's question: What musical group did Kendell rock Natalie to sleep with when she was little? I always thought it was 3 Dog Night, but Kendell seems to think it was Black Dog. Maybe I am wrong and he is right. He was older than I was at the time.

This week's question: Who used to say that "Baker Benny", an Old Maid card, lived in Brenda's drawer?

Quote for the Week

"Salvation is in Christ. It comes because of the infinite and eternal atonement which he wrought by the shedding of his blood. He is the Son of God, and he came into the world to ransom men from the temporal and spiritual death that came because of what we call the fall. Through his goodness and grace all men will come forth from the grave, to be judged according to the deeds done in the flesh . . . I know that he lives, that he rules in the heavens above and in the earth beneath, and that his purposes shall prevail. He is our Lord and our God. As he himself said to Joseph Smith: 'The Lord is God, and beside him there is no Savior' (D&C 76:1)." ---President Joseph Fielding Smith

Hymn for the Week

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Cout your blessings; name them one by one.
Count your blessings see what God hath done.
Count your blessings, name them one by one.
Count your many blessings see what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings; every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

REPEAT CHORUS

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.

REPEAT CHORUS

So amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

REPEAT CHORUS
