Forgiveness is such an important part of the gospel

of Jesus Christ!

Ether 14:8-31

* In what ways has the enabling power of the Atonement transformed your weaknesses into strengths?

* In what ways does the book of Ether serve as a warning to the nations of the earth today?

* Anger and hatred played a major role in the destruction of the Jaredites.  What role do you see anger and hatred playing in the world today?  How can you combat this in your own sphere of influence?

*  How has your faith or spiritual resolve been tried?  How did these trials of your faith bring you addition "witness" of Jesus Christ or understanding of eternal truths?

GC:  To Whom Shall We Go? by M. Russel Ballard

"Never abandon the great truths revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith.  Never stop reading, pondering, and applying the doctrine of Christ found in the Book of Mormon."

 I talked to my niece Jenifer today and told her how proud I was that she had graduated from college with a degree in social work.  She was telling me that there are several opportunities in her town for work that she was going to look in to.  Jenifer is legally blind and depends on others to do many things for her.  This should make her more independent.

I love this picture of the Provo temple.

James is still trying to fix his trailer.  He thought he had it fixed but the spring he put in keeps popping out.  He went with me this evening to visit Jean and to make a delivery to Claire, two of the sisters I visit teach.  I was at Jean's for quite awhile and he just waited in the car.  Jean's daughter Deana and her friend Denice are my visiting teachers and they gave me a lesson while I was there and a gift.

Santa container.

James set up a meeting for the job he is doing for Jerrod Bowen at 10:30 in the morning.  I told him there was no way I would be ready so he offered to clean upstairs while I finished wrapping gifts.  

We went to bed before I was finished wrapping.  I was too tired to finish.

This picture was taken three years ago at 

Chocolate Lake.  To me it looks like Addy is

pulling Ruby.
