MOON'S DAY
I am 30 years old. I am still young. When I drink the water of life from the Missouri spring I will eventually revet back to the physical appearance I have now if I am old then. (That is a supposition according to the book Visions of Glory by John Pontius, which I now know is mostly a false book. B.L.S. 6/12/16, 12/20/2019 AD)
Shane is to my knowledge reading Ether and Acts, and several days ago he finished Moroni and before that he read John. Shane's level of reading comprehension and understanding of terminology is low, so things have to be explained to him, which, during the cottage meetings, Seventy Ron has shown he is more than willing to do.
Father, please help Shane to want to read the rest of the Book of Mormon after he finishes Ether, in Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
I ran into a man, who used to have an RLDS girlfriend, at the a thrift store today. We had an interesting conversation. He gave me a warning about Benny Hinn, about the New Age and occult teachings being incorporated into his teachings. We agreed Jimmy Swaggart was good. He said Creflo Dollar and Joseph Prince were better than they used to be, that they used to be “fringe”. I told him I supported the JCRB, told him what the letters J-C-R-B stood for, and told him I also supported the Remnant and the Jubyites. He said that “sounded fringe but what did he know”. I told him I wasn’t Community of Christ but I was Restoration Branch Movement. He said he knew about the split, and he also knew about the LDS/RLDS split. \ When I had told him I was RLDS he had said I was a follower of Joseph Smith, and not of Brigham Young. (Three minor revisions 8/12/14)
I never finished St. Augustine's Confessions, and I gave City of God away. Confessions fell apart and I taped it up as best I could (which wasn't good at all, I just messed it up even more) and gave it back to the church I borrowed it from.

SABBATH
Several Fridays ago, Shane came to a church with his friend and I. Shane raised his hand for salvation at church for the second time. The first time he had done so he had been discouraged because they didn’t tell him anything he hadn’t learned. He started doubting his faith again. But the second time he discovered that he was already saved and he rededicated his life to God. The next Friday his friend truly accepted the Lord Jesus into his heart.

Experiences of my life:
By Brent Sohlden
When I was in elementary school, I was in the principal’s office and while there I pulled out an old copy of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to examine it. Later the principal told me that at that time when I pulled the book out, his grandmother or mother, whom it had belonged to, was saved from something, whether death or illness I do not recall.

THURSDAY
On Sunday Shane and I studied the Book of Mormon and watched an RLDS sermon after church. We studied I Nephi, Ether, and I John and somewhere else in the writings of John. On Tuesday I sent Shane some texts:
Brent: While Ron was here last time you wondered if you could show the lesson to Vick. Jesus told you Shane, Shane Vick’s not ready. On the day that Jesus told you that the bom was his word he also pleaded with you to believe in the spirit world again and told me to do my challenges. the devil wouldnt tell me to do my challenges
Shane. It was really Jesus.
(No, it was a false Jesus. The Book of Mormon was the bait. It's true. The false Jesus then told Shane to continue to be a Psychic and a Medium and to do my Reformers Unanimous Challenges, tying both me and Shane to Michigan.)
On Wednesday Shane texted me back:
Shane: I dont know what to say than. Really I have nothing to say to that. (He did not yet have enough discernment (and neither did I) that satan was trying to keep us tied to Michigan with our challenges, and this was a false Jesus.)
Several days ago Carolyn and I had a meeting at my house and we discussed things we needed to do to get ready for the big move.
On Monday Joy will come out to pick me up in her new truck. We will then go to Joy’s sisters’ in Michigan. We will stay there a couple days so Joy can rest, then Onward to Zion!
