We made another trip to the doctor with our dear young sister who suffers from so many different ailments. Her appointment was at 10:00am this morning. We didn't have to wait too long for her, she was in and out pretty quick. The doctors don't really know what to do to treat her, the poor soul needs to find someone who will put a team together and see what they can do for her. She is only about 25 years old, and we can't imagine what her quality of life will be like too many years into the future.

This afternoon we made our final preparations for Institute and organized our visits for tomorrow morning out at the post with all our AIT (Advanced Individual Training) students. Upon our arrival at the Friendship chapel we had our dinner and then we had our lesson. It all revolved around the visit of Samuel, the Lamanite, to the Nephites.We discussed the importance of repentance, not rationalizing our sins, not procrastinating our repentance and so forth. As part of the discussion we talked about listening and giving heed to our modern prophets today. We discussed President Monson's talks from last April and then we brought up a talk by President Hinckley way back in 1998. He spoke to the brethren in Priesthood meeting and warned us of  the upcoming financial stormy weather. This was 14 years ago and look at where we are  now! We often wonder how many people paid attention and did all they could to get their houses in order. We had a fine evening, we believe everyone went away feeling edified.
