This is a picture of Rick & me in our tuxedos at the reception in Medford, Oregon.  On Sat., March 1, Norma & I drove with Rick & Laurie to Medford for their reception.  I was able to attend, but still not well.

Norma & I were most impressed with Laurie and her family who feel very grateful that Rick has become their son-in-law.

A pleasant experience _ when Norma & I were walking through Nordstrom’s store on our way from the genealogical library to eat our lunch – we were in Salt Lake – Norma says: “Kirk there is a Madras jacket that you would enjoy very much”.  Spontaneously we went about purchasing it.  I had not even noticed it, but Norma’s eye had caught it and in her consideration for me she made the suggestion I buy it.  I am grateful for her and for the jacket.

I put this picture of me in my journal to remind me of certain feelings I had about tuxedos and how we must listen to the feelings of others.  I truly dislike wearing a tuxedo and think I’m only had one  on at the receptions of our children’s weddings, as well as, at a couple of medical meetings.  In my own heat I was very resistant to wearing a tuxedo at Rick and Laurie’s reception, but kept my mouth shut and honored their feelings.  After I got the tux on I rather enjoyed it and realized how important it was for one of the 3 major events in their lives.

Tonight Norma and I had a very traumatic experience.  Several weeks ago I had a call from one of my previous patients who state that he wanted to know more about our church.  I invited him to our home.  He then asked if he could bring a friend and I said “of course”.

We were hardly seated when I realized that “the friend” was a disciple of Lucifer.  He was obviously a student and tried to be most impressive with his diatribe about the great Alexanderum scholars and the Jewish Rabbis – I asked him why he has desired to come into our home.  He said, because he wanted to “save us”.

He was invasive, obtrusive, and a smug sophist of the first order.  The only thing Norma & I could do was to bear our testimonies, but I made at clear we recognized the nature of his spirit.  The utter gall of such a person who would gain entrance into the sanctity of our home and then be so rude was unbelievable.  

After they left we recognized that he was undoubtedly a Sherem – an excommunicated apostate-

About 25 years ago I took golf lessons from my good friend, Ray Bennett, and bought new clubs with the idea that I would probably join a golf club.  That idea was terminated when the Farmer children came to live with us.  Now, after retirement I started playing again & enjoy it tremendously.

How I enjoy these righteous men.  They are great fun; sessions about their golf, and marvelous company Ray was married 2 days after Norma & me in the Salt Lake Temple.  We came to know one another in the 1^st Ward and subsequently the 8^th Ward.  Our friendship has always had great depth.

On the way home from Columbia Gorge hotel we stopped in Portland and showed Carol & Duncan the University of Oregon Medical School which I attended 45 years ago.  We alos chowed them Marquam Manor which was the first home (really an apartment) for Norma and me when we were married in 1942. 

April 12, 1986

Today while bathing I received a crystal clear impression that all my thinking and planning for a mission has been on my terms – my time limit – not the Lord’s.  This is not my mission!!  It is the Lord’s errand or mission.

Norma and I knelt in prayer and covenanted with the Lord that we would do anything He calls us to do.  We asked only in return that we might be assured that our family would be cared for and that their problems would be eased and resolved while we served.  Also, that our own minds and hearts might be freed of worry.

Duncan has just come home from work taken a shower, and prepared for a peaceful New Year’s Eve.  He “looked” disappointed when we appeared on the scene and put him to work.  At midnite he was most pleased to see all the work done.

Jan 4, 1986 – Picture of Bishop Kirk J Anderson, Holly, and Kirk Jared Anderson on day of baptism.  Norma and I made one of the most treacherous trips of all time from Seattle to Boise to attend.  We travelled by car and we encountered snow – ice – and fog which plagued us the entire trip.  Surely, this would indicate how important it has always been to us to attend major events (church, school athletic) in the lives of our children and grandchildren.

Jan 5, 1986.

Today I stood in the circle as Kirk Jared was confirmed by his father.  Also present was Eric Leland Anderson and the Bishopric.

I recorded the confirmation & blessing and wrote it out for Kirk Jared’s book of Remembrance.  It was Fast Sunday and it was a special meeting.  Bishop Kirk James Anderson gave a wonderful testimony & spoke of his gratitude for his heritage.  Kirk Jared’s other grandfather – Eldon Haskell gave a marvelous testimony.  I wanted to, but there just wasn’t time.

In the High Priest meeting, the time was devoted to testimony.  This time I was able to say a few things.  I pleaded with the brethren to pray for their Bishop – my son – that in todays world more than any other time our Bishops are on the firing line more than ever before.  When I finished I don’t believe that there was a dry eye in the room.  Several of the brethren said that their sons would not now be on missions were it not for their Bishop – my son.

Today Eric and I sojourned to Nyssa to see Jim, Peggy, and Warren Farmer.  They have established an onion processing plant and have done a wonderful job.  They are truly enterprising and we are very proud of them.  They have undertaken a large debt – load to do this, but I am sure they will succeed unfortunately, the onion crop did not fare well this year and the price is very low.

Jim is now in the Elder’s Quorum Pres. & recently baptized his youngest son.

Warren was just [reunited] to a high school sweetheart.  She is very fine woman, and Warren should be much happier.  He has been very lonely.

My dear friend Kirk:

Jolene and I appreciated very much your coming to our home last night.  We both value our friendship with you and Norma more than words can express.

I just want you to know that having the Power of The Priesthood brought to bear in my behalf is a privilege which we esteem very highly.  We both feel very good about going ahead to get the solution to my medical problem, and have confidence the Lord has a purpose this particular challenge in our lives.  We have always been blessed beyond our understanding with good health and membership in His Church.  With all of these blessings a person can’t really ask for any more.  In fact it makes me realize that there is much more that I can do to repay the Lord and my friends for the many kindnesses extended to me.

Thanks again for your concern, prayers, and help.  Please extend my love to the Quorum for their fasting and prayers at this time.  With that kind of concerted afforded from such a great group of men there is no doubt that all will be well.

Love,

(Signature?)

December 22, 1985 A Very Special Interview

Today, I had a very special interview with Pres. Brent Nash, an interview of accountability.  It was one of the most spiritual ones I have ever experienced.  We talked about our forthcoming mission and he indicated he would probably be released before our call.

We then talked about the Holy Spirit of Promise and indicated that we did not completely understand its mission other than that each saint must have it to be sealed to arise in the morning of the first resurrection.

Pres. Nash told me of some times in his church life when he has had fore knowledge of things to come in other peoples lives.  He told me that when he first met me he had the sure knowledge that I would henceforth play a special role in the spirituality of the Saints in this part of Zion.  He also testified to me that we knew each other in pre-existent life.

It is interesting that both of us came to Seattle for professional training.  He, for dental school.  Me, for medical internships.  Both of us had no intentions of returning to Seattle, but did so by miraculous circumstance.  As the spirit was very much in evidence, we felt that in pre-existent life we knew one another and made strong promises to help one another in mortal life.  Because these promises would be so important to our mortal life, and ultimate eternal life, we conjectured that perhaps the Holy Spirit of Promise has played a key role in bringing about the fulfillment of promises between us that will lead ultimately to eternal life.

I have included this article written by Mr. Hal Willard, a millionaire and a waiter who presents a clean and succinct description of the dilemma of one who starts a business in our present-day economic climate.  Nothing is assured anymore and no one is immune to the “mess” that surrounds us.  Our President Reagan truly believes that the catastrophic curse of the economy during President Carter’s tenure has been arrested and inflation is controlled.  He seems to ignore the greatest national debt of all time, which now is in the trillions of dollars.  Suffice it to say, it is nothing more than a time of great confusion smothered with an atmosphere of dishonesty, greed, hostility and uncertainty.  The future of men are very volatile.

I have included a statement of financed worth in my journal, because on paper our net worth is around a million dollars.  Our experience in trying to establish a family business has been the same as those cited by Mr. Willard.

Letter from Ted, sent from Salt Lake City

Dear Kirk and Norma,

Before another day passes (I was going to say “gets away”), I must get this letter off so I got up this morning an hour early to do so!

Enclosed are two outlines, Kirk, which I think you will find interesting.  The first, entitled The Patriarchal Order of Priesthood is the one I had specifically in mind sending when we talked.  In my judgment, you will find it authoritative in its documentation and most informative.  While some of it will be redundant to you, some of the material will be new.  Frank Gonzalez, who did the work, is an instructor at the Institute of Relegion at the University of Utah, a Sealer at the Temple, and a group of us who meet once a month, have had the privilege of sitting under his instruction for the past five or six years.  I have found him to be a real student on all aspects of the Church’s doctrine as well as its history.  If my memory is correct, Frank will retire at the end of the current school year.  Anyway, I hope you will enjoy reading it.  Very likely Norma will find it informative also.

The second outline, is one on The Gifts of the Spirit.  Sending it is something of an afterthought.  In my Blessing, Brother Edgley identifies a specific Gift for me and I have tried to do the same in the Blessings I give. This outline offers some enlightenment on several of these special Gifts you may find informative as did I.

In any event, I am pleased to share this information with you and my hope is that you will enjoy having them.

Having dinner with both of you was very enjoyable! And Audrey joins me in expressing our sincere appreciation for a most memorable time.  As we drove towards Boise the next day, Audrey’s comment about both of you certainly reflects my own feelings also.  She said both of you were most gracious.  I feel this word particularly expresses your comment, Kirk, at the temple.  I wanted to respond but I was conscious of the fact that time is always pressing and I did not feel proper in using more of it.  But both of us did appreciate your kind expressions.  Indeed they were “gracious”.  This is a quality worthy of emulation.

After leaving the Temple, we returned to the Motel to pick up our things after changing clothes.  Both Audrey and I remarked that having this facility so convenient had helped us and the fact that you rearranged your plans for dinner so that our Motel could be close by was just another expression of your thoughtfulness.  I say “convenient” and indeed it was until we tried to get across the interchange at 148^th and I 90!  That proved to be a frustration.  We had decided to go to Denny’s for breakfast and we could see it just across the way.  But getting there was another matter!  I ended up on the highway going towards Renton.  As you possibly know, that usually takes an extra ten miles by the time a place to turn around is reached and you retrace that distance.  Anyway, we finally reached Denny’s, picked up a few items at Albertson’s, and started for Boise,  It was then about 11 A.M. your time.  The drive over Snoqualmie(?) was very enjoyable.  The scenery was beautiful although there was a lot of construction going on and three or four military convoys added to slowing our progress.  Other than a stop to pick up a case of apples over close to Yakima, and to change drivers we did not stop.  We arrived in Boise about 8:30 P.M. so you see we traveled well.  We did not have to stop for fuel and had about a quarter of a tank of Diesel left when we reached Boise.  The following morning, we left Boise after visiting my sister, Afton, who is in St. Luke’s recovering from a hip replacement.  I do not remember who her surgeon is but she is doing nicely and feels a future without pain is something she is really anticipating.  Indeed, it is remarkable what you fellows can do today.  Just another evidence of the enlightenment the Lord had poured out on His children today.   

Well, it is good to be home.  But we shall always have special memories of our trip and our visit with you.  Your future now with retirement a prospect, and your anticipation of a mission offers some changes to contemplate.  Surely, we will be interested to learn what develops.  We do want you to remember that we want to host dinner on an evening when you can arrange to do so while you are in Salt Lake.  So please keep that in mind.  While our conversation covered a lot of things, one subject we did not talk about was you, Norma.  Very likely, you would just as soon pass, but Audrey and I both expressed our interest in pursuing that subject.

Lest I wary you, I’ll close for this time.  At your convenience we would be pleased to hear from you.

With Kindest regards,

Ted [signed]

Insert: commentary article titled, “Some Thoughts on the Nature of Paradox” by Elouise Bell.  BYU Today August 1985

Notes concerning article:

Life is filled with paradox; a record that cannot be written with black and white.

By definition, paradox is a statement that appears to contradict itself, and conflict with expectation.

We first encounter this phenomenon in the Garden of Eden.  Consider that Adam & Eve were commanded to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.  The conflicting commandment instructed them not to partake of the fruit, which would bring death.  Consider further that Adam was also to cleave unto his wife, Eve, and love her with all of his heart.  What was he to do after Eve had partaken of the fruit.  If he did not partake of the fruit, he would disobey his Father in heaven, he would disobey on 2 counts, and obey on 1 count.

I want you to know that I do understand this full scope of this scenario and its paradox.  I’m intrigued that scripturally it would appear that Adam was forgiven his transgression while he was still in the Garden of Eden (Moses 6:53)

January 16, 1978

Tonight was a very special family home evening. We went to the church to play basketball (Norma, Chris, Carol, Duncan, Rick, Eric II, Trina and myself). We did it to teach Eric how to play.

Would you believe that it was the first time in my life I had played basketball? At age 57 I was able to run and keep up with the young ones of the family—I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!!

October 2, 1974

I have spent several hours transcribing this blessing from my tape recorder. I have pondered what it contains and am overwhelmed with gratitude for what it contains and the circumstances under which it was given. I feel that this blessing is meant for Norma as much as for me because we truly share our priesthood and we desire together to be “one” for this family and with our Savior and Father in Heaven who are “one”. My gratitude for the association of my Bishop is immeasurable. I love him more than a brother because in his immense humility and true leadership capabilities as outlined in D&C 121, he basks in the love, guidance, and glory of our Father in Heaven. Every action that I witness is one that brings glory to his Father and the Savior. And so it is that I can receive such a blessing under his hands and know that it is coming from God. The blessing could have been no greater had it come from the President of the Church himself. I say this with the deepest respect and humility because I perceive by the Spirit that this is the order of things in the Kingdom of God.

            We need to have assurance as imperfect mortal beings upon this earth that we are “measuring up” to some measure. I rejoice that my life at this time of my mortal and eternal existence is of worth to my dear Father in Heaven because my love for Him and for the Savior has reached such proportions that were it rejected my plea would be for extinction of my soul because of the devastating, crushing, destructive effect it would have upon my eternal soul and my identity as a son.

August 21, 1974 – more info needed

Today another spiritual occasion in our family prompts me to write of its nature. It is a sequel and another manifestation of that which I recorded on page 56 (*** add entry date as p. #'s will be lost***). This morning after breakfast, Carol, Jane, Chris and myself were reading the scriptures in front of the fire – each of us reading in silence and in our own way. Then Norma suggested that she wanted to play for us a tape from Br. Richard Cown (BYU) on the Doctrine and Covenants. 15 of us then gathered together to earnestly learn together. How can I ever thank the Lord enough for this rich blessing and spiritual atmosphere of learning that our family enjoys. He is truly leading us by the hand. My confidence waxes strong in giving blessings and using the power of the priesthood in our home because I know that as long as we are righteous our prayers will be answered as they have in the past.

PG 107 [No Date Provided] – This letter is a sequel to my notes on page 98 (see Aug. 12th entry regarding his visit with his father). I wrote to Pres. Ezra Taft Benson and told him how much his gesture of friendship to my father meant to our family and to the generations to come. I also told him how I sustain him as an Apostle of the Lord because I have a testimony of what and who he really is.

[The letter is dated Sept 3, 1974 and reads:]

            Dear Dr. Anderson:

            For your very thoughtful and generous letter of August 12, I am deeply grateful. It was a real joy and inspiration to see your father at the funeral of Aunt Carmen. It called to mind many memories, all of them pleasant, of my association with your father and mother, and you and your brother as boys of the Aaronic Priesthood. I have no doubt that your father is might proud of you.

            God bless you in all the days to come. Thank you so much for sending the letter. It gave a great uplift to Sister Benson and me.

            With prayerful wishes for your welfare.

            Faithfully your friend and brother,

                        Signed Ezra Taft Benson

August 3, 1974

Today I officiated at my first marriage. If anyone had told me that I would one day do such a thing I would not have believed it. Doing the Lord’s work takes us into so many avenues of life. The families involved were genuinely happy to have me there!! There is no question in my mind that when one is doing Church work that his life ultimately becomes one of true greatness that far surpasses the “honors of men” and yet the world extends recognition to those who live such lives. Our Church leaders today constantly receive recognition for their devotion to such causes as the Boy Scouts, etc.

            The wedding was held in the home and involved a sweet young man and woman who is pregnant. How grateful I am that I could care about them personally and not judge them. I only have feelings of concern and love for them because I was once at the same age able to stand with Norma in the Temple to be married. I remember how I cherished her and longed to have children with her. That we were able to start our lives free of such an encumbrance through transgression was a blessing. But when children are not taught – truly taught, the Gospel of Jesus Christ they are easily deceived and enter into transgression that brings unhappiness. Oh! How I prayed and “cared” that I might say just a few words by the Spirit that would touch and change the lives of the Bride and Groom that they might find the pathway to true happiness.

            How I love my Father in Heaven because He has loved me and helped me. Norma accompanied me, what a strength she is!! – more and more I respect her and revere he as my wife, as a friend, as a righteous person.
