1. He must have been floored, shocked, stunned! All wrong? What?

2. What were all those angels doing?

3. He was filled with love for days, weeks, months afterwards! In my opinion that is what a change of heart feels like. :) I have been there. I have experienced that. Since God loves me so much, I can love everyone else.

April 2020 general conference

He recalled: “They told me that all religious denominations were believing in incorrect doctrines, and that none of them was acknowledged of God as his church and kingdom. And … at the same time [I] receive[d] a promise that the fulness of the gospel should at some future time be made known unto me.”

Joseph also noted, “I saw many angels in this vision.”

Following this glorious vision, Joseph wrote: “My soul was filled with love, and for many days I could rejoice with great joy. … The Lord was with me.”

Tues. 4/21/20 Yay, the library is partly opening! Library System Offers New Curbside Pickup Service\Washington County Library System today announced that it will offer curbside pickup services to the patrons at all eight library branch locations beginning on Monday, April 20, 2020. “Our libraries form an integral cornerstone in the structure of our community. Working with the Library Board, the county is now able to safely begin the phasing in of essential library services to the public,” explained Commissioner Dean Cox. Curbside service will be available at each location. For times, please call your closest library branch. Curbside Service allows customers to pick up library materials that have been placed on hold. Washington County has coordinated with our Public Health Officer on curbside services as well as the procedures. Social distancing is still recommended in order to effectively serve library customers and adhere to public health guidelines. For a list branch numbers and hours of operation, please visit: www.library.washco.utah.gov

Curbside Pickup provides increased access to our library resources during the COVID-19 closure. As we continue to put our patrons at the heart of everything we do, we strive to offer services that are adapted to this unprecedented time. Curbside pickup will allow patrons to access physical items in addition to taking advantage of the outstanding online service provided. We hope that access to these great reading and movie materials will help alleviate some of the disruption to everyday life that has occurred as a result of the pandemic.

Curbside Pickup: How it Works

Place items on hold using the Library website catalog, or call in if you know what you are interested in. Identify your preferred library pickup location: St. George, Washington, Santa Clara, Hurricane, Enterprise, New Harmony, Hildale or Springdale.

Wait for email or text notice that your hold items are ready.

Request Curbside Service by calling your pickup branch.

Library staff will prepare your items for pickup.

Staff will contact you when your items are checked out and ready for you to pick up. Items must be picked up that day or scheduled appropriately.

Go to the Library's designated Curbside pickup branch. This will be marked by signage at each location.

Holds will be delivered to the cardholder once name verification has occurred.

When you arrive at the Library's pickup location, call the number listed on the sign for further instructions. Pickup locations for curbside service will be clearly marked and patrons and staff should strive to comply with social distancing recommendations.

Wait for delivery of materials. If your vehicle is equipped with automatic doors, please open them upon arrival.

I looked up a bunch of books last night and put them on hold. Although having someone read to me each day at 1.25x speed has not been bad at all. Why do I share this with you? Answer: New, novel experiences and adjustments.@Next. Louis and Bonnie, Lincoln, Grace came and visited and brought me green onions, new cucumber plants and smiles last night. What a pleasant surprise! I have been asking L if I can come visit about once a week. He dropped by twice last week to pick up delivery items. Yep, he had one to pick up yesterday as well. He showed Lincoln how to use the new electric chainsaw. He took almond tree firewood he had cut at my house to Warner Valley camping 2 weeks ago.

Louis says he is on furlough for the month of May. His kids did their homework even in Warner Valley. Worldmark won’t have many vacationers in Saint George and he sells timeshares.

That is TawnaB my ward’s RS president on the left. What follows are perfect instructions for joining the team! Do you remember how my bishop had the YM and YW compete the last 2 weeks before General Conference? Well, now the RS is doing it! I am so excited. This is my baby, bmx, I am the master indexer in my ward.

Sister Audrey Wood not only teaches music at school but is our primary chorister. This is cutting edge Brandon! Not only does my bishop send out 2 messages a week but now the RS and Primary have videos on youtube. I love seeing people engaged in a good work and doing many things of their own free will to bring to pass much righteousness. That has been one of my main motivations in the last 40 years. And it looks like I share it with others. So fun. So wonderful. Of course I had to email each of these sisters and compliment them.
