That is what I felt I had all weekend. I wanted to write something, and nothing would come to me. In fact, I had one moment I thought I had written something semi-wrong and controversial and I worried about it and worried about it. I searched through my website to see if I had written what I thought I had written, but I must not have because I couldn’t find it. I guess it just wasn’t a good weekend to be writing anything.

Michael’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
I’m such a lucky duck. Both my AC and Dishwasher broke down on the same day. Happy Pioneer Day!
NYNYS Mission January 8-13, 1997
Wow, what a day, we were supposed to have like 10 investigators at church. Only had 4 come. But we had 15 from our zone. After church, we went to go and see one of our investigators who said they would like to be baptized.

How did I do this week? July 6, 2024
Well, it feels like I am healing. I can walk again. I can lift my leg again. I am not in excruciating pain anymore. I must say modern medicine is a miracle. I thank God I was able to have this surgery done. Otherwise, at some point, I would have ended up like the beggar at the pool of Bethesda.

How did I do this week? June 27, 2024
So, how did I do this week? Is just me analyzing my life. Am I doing the things I should be? Am I living the gospel? Am I having spiritual experiences? Am I trying to improve myself? Am I trying to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? If I am doing those things, I am more than likely on the right path.
The Day After – Hip Surgery
I really don’t know. I woke up easily and felt quite well. I took all the embarrassing situations like a champ. They had me up and walking about an hour after surgery. And, I left the hospital about six hours after surgery. I was there a total of about 12 hours from arrival to leaving.
Adoption
I laid my hands upon his head and gave him the Holy Ghost, then proceeded to pronounce a priesthood blessing upon him. As I did so, I was filled with the most glorious and overwhelming feeling. It washed over me like a tidal wave. I had made a choice 7 years earlier to be his father and I did it as a choice, as an act of faith that I was doing the right thing. I did it without being acted upon. Now, all of a sudden, like a flood this feeling washed over me and the Holy Ghost testified that he was my child and he was supposed to be a part of our family. This was so unexpected.
