2/26/24 Good monday morning Brandon, I am 5% behind in reviewing Mantova today:
I have 4 different accounts I use to catch up on the reviewing. I don’t want to get in trouble by reviewing huge massive numbers on one single account! You may remember when that happened. You have probably noticed that there are different numbers of fields to fill in when indexing.
nascita -11 fields
morte -19 fields but 4 are always <blank>.
matrimonio -23fields but 2 <blank>
The pamphlet guidelines for births says there are only 6 things you need to learn! I was drafted into this project of Italian indexing when all the projects were birth records in Italy! @@@I have been interacting with others on the internet this morning. Here are some things I think worth documenting/sharing: 7:51 AM
Good Monday morning Kevin, I loved your follow through to Frank's provoking you in front of the whole EQ a couple of weeks ago! I told Josh that the teasing in our quorum makes it fun. He said, "We need more teasing." I felt affirmed. So I followed up with your invite to tease and hassle Frank even though in Texas. . . .\❤️k
Sunday · 2:51 PM \Hello Texas!\Kevin brought different kinds of cookies to EQ today! H a
Sunday · 6:54 PM
But were they home made. I don't think so
7:31 AM Of course not. And he said he never promised homemade! ha
I was visiting with Julie Moss last week and she mentioned that Jandee wrote a spiritual blog! Can you image?\❤️k
I can for sure get you a link and she does one weekly and it's awesome-k
I would love it!-v

It's AT&T. We apologize for Thursday's outage, which may have impacted your ability to connect with others. We value you as a customer & commit to doing better.
So cool! They noticed! This is good for public relations. @@Good Monday Morning Jerry, You and I know how hard it is to reduce! Reduce eating, reduce weight. . . it is hard! 1- I did keto diet the first two weeks of December, but then the Christmas treats started. Did I want to miss all the Christmas treats? NO WAY! So I patted myself on the back and said, maybe next time. 2-I have been porking out and fattening up. So, I have been trying to psych up to reduce again. 3-Yesterday I thought and prayed about it after inspecting my naked self in the mirror before my Sunday cleaning bath. Not a pretty sight. As I dried off the most commitment I was comfortable making was to try. Only try. 4-Last night when it was time to eat (night meals are the ones I never miss) I laid back in the recliner with food heating in the microwave and did some scripture listening and praying hoping to decide how to TRY right then. I fell asleep. 5-I later went to bed and eventually took my food out of the microwave and put it back in the fridge. I didn't eat! Yay! 6-We'll see how I do today. v@@Hello Brandon, I took 2 pages of notes in the back of my journal and listened to this podcast 3 times 2 weeks ago. I was floored by the idea of a “Jacob personality”. Have you ever noticed Brandon, that he has a different extreme personality from every other prophet? It is amazing that God doesn’t require all prophets to be the same!
I need constant reassurance Brandon that I am doing what is right and that it is what is best for me. I don’t dare to ask HF outright. So I just try to see what feels comfortable inside, unless I am feeling particularly secure and want to take a risk. I eventually decided that this podcast/video was so groundbreaking for me that I just had to share it with others who seem to have this same personality. 49 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart adelighteth in righteousness; and I will bpraise the holy name of my God.
Can you imagine abhorring sin? Most of us are enticed by it in one way or another. Jacob was extremely anxious even as a young boy. Lehi told him he was redeemed to calm his anxiety. “Rise from the dust and be men” is what he told Laman and Lemuel in his final blessing. And Nephi never shares what his father says/blesses him with. silly:Sorry everybody, I don’t want to brag so I’m not going to share my father’s final blessing to me. I’ll only share the ones he gave to Laman, Lemuel, Sam, sons of Ishamel, Zoram, Jacob, Joseph, children of Laman and Lemuel. . . @ Jacob uses the word anxious more than any other prophet. My son Robert struggles everyday to manage his anxiety. He exercises: biking, hiking for at least an hour usually first thing in the morning. Thinking about him I realized that this podcast had deep, deep meaning for me and my family. @Halverson’s wife works with addiction recovery! In his podcast he spoke of ACE- adverse childhood experiences. Can you remember some of the ACE that Jacob experienced? Have you every wondered why Nephi chose Jacob teach his people and to add to the small plates? 2N6:4 And now, behold, I would speak unto you concerning things which are, and which are to come; wherefore, I will read you the words of aIsaiah. And they are the words which my brother has desired that I should speak unto you. And I speak unto you for your sakes, that ye may learn and glorify the name of your God.\You may remember my sister Gayelinn’72. I sent her the link and she listened and responded last week. She can’t feel God’s love. I have admitted to her that I can’t feel the inspiration of the HG. Learn how God speaks to you. . . says RMN. I am like DAB, I usually only hear his voice or feel his inspiration when I am reading the scriptures. Gayelinn says she doesn’t/can’t trust her husband. She can only trust God. How can you trust God when you can’t even feel his love? Answer: with faith=belief and actions. @ This has been a hot topic for
Robert and I on our curiosity walks with Lydia the last 2 weeks. He intended to listen to this podcast again but never had a chance last week. Once he does I think he will be bursting with connections. @ Last Sunday I wrote in my journal a list of people that might be Jacob personalities. Many of them I sent the link to. Lloyd, Matt & Gayelinn have responded. @ You have heard me say that I count chills & thrills/goosebumps as possible HG confirmations. Text to Gayelinn: Good Monday morning Gayelinn, I shared with Robert my and your inability to feel God's love and yet our easiness in identifying his miracles in our lives. We walked/hiked down to the Virgin River beach and played in the sand for a couple of hours with Lydia yesterday. 1-What crazy mixed up parents we had. Dad served in two bishoprics in Sandy when I was a boy. Mom carefully read scriptures with us even when he was gone doing his bishopric's responsibilities. Yes, we read the scriptures together almost every night for weeks and months at a time. I find this so confusing! v @ Gayelinn told me how broken she is as she responded to this podcast. I responded that we were ACE+broken. Jacob was ACE but not broken. He still was able to feel guided by the spirit. OK, enough for today. See ya. v 11:09
1-B, look at the above record. 1939 Hebrew Race! Wow. . . This is a first for me. [Interesting, they put a Hebrew race stamp on the form. Pre WWII. Identifying Jews? Actually my very first thought was, I wonder what tribe? -B]
2-B, Happy Wednesday! Lately I have run across a new female name: Cattezzata over and over again! Check the next line to see my conclusion. [Baptized! GOOD THINKING!!]
battezzata-baptized!
B- thank you for your responses on those two. I so wanted to show someone! [V, I like it when you share! It makes it all so much more interesting. Thank YOU for sharing!!]
1-I biked to the FSC today because a)they are closed for cleaning tomorrow, b)I have a book that is overdue at the library.
2-The church bought back the Kirtland temple and some other stuff for 195 million. I am so, so excited!
3- Charlotte Evans has been indexing for a year. She has only done 252 total! She comes every Tuesday and works with me!!! On Tuesday I asked her for her ID & PW. This morning I texted her that unless she objected I was going to index in her name/on her account to celebrate the Kirtland temple purchase! Ha. [We believe in vicarious baptism for the dead. Why not vicarious indexing for the living!]
4- Susan DeHaan is a Republican delegate for her precinct. She lives in SG03 precinct. I live in SG13 precinct. The Caucus was Tuesday night. Kathleen McDonald showed interest. I promised to reward her with a Dr.Pepper if she went for her first time. Don Lyman is our precinct chair. He is my old stake president and was the manager of Jones Paint & Glass for 30 years. He is serving a mission to the special service missionaries right now. He has a severely handicapped down’s syndrome son the same age as my son Michael’92. Kathleen went!
5-I posted it on our indexing workers thread and Trina Hustead went as well!!!!
6- many months of overeating may require many months of undereating to reduce. I started my Keto diet again 11 days ago on Sunday. So far, so good. God Bless you-bltpjs. your friend vern
