1Nephi 9:1-10:10

Have you ever felt like you were doing something the Lord asked you to do "for a wise purpose in him, which purpose you knew not?"

1 Nephi 21-22

DC 6:1-10

Why is the principle of repentance so important to teach people?

GC:  Abide in My Love by Elder D. Todd Christofferson

"From the Book of Mormon we learn that the intent of Christ's suffering the ultimate manifestation of His love - was 'to bring 

about the bowels of mercy, which over powereth justice, and bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance." (See Alma 34:15-16)

I love that we are studying the Doctrine and Covenants

this year in Sunday School.

I cleaned and polished the family room and living room wood floor today.  It looks beautiful!  I also swept and mopped the kitchen and dining room floors.

I wonder if that's Tom's dog.

I still am afraid to use the wifi.  The 14th starts a new cycle so only two more days.  I have not blogged, got on Facebook, or played Solitaire.  You would think I would have withdrawals but I am doing ok.

I love Evan's artwork!

I have these notes in the margin of 1Nephi 22 in my scriptures:

"The fruit of keeping covenants is the companship of the Holy Ghost and an increase in the power to love.  That happens because of the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ to change our very natures."

Also, I love this line from Elder Christofferson's talk:

"Each of us can experience the ecstasy of divine potential unfolding within us."

Her mom has Harry Potter parties.

She came as Professor Trelawny.

I think she looks just like her.

This evening I watched the Hallmark movie, "The Lost Valentine" starring Betty White.  I had seen it before and still cried like a baby.

James sent me a text to go outside and look at the moon.  It was huge and situated right over Mount Montoso.  Gorgeous!
