Jordan River temple,
20th operating temple
(Now being renovated)
Mosiah 9:14-10:22
The Lamanites attempt to bring Zeniff's people into bondage.
* What similarities and differences do you see between how Zeniff's people and the Lamanites approached their battles?
* What truths can we learn from this comparison?
* Why did the Lamanites hate the Nephites so intensely?
* Whom does it hurt when we are angry or refuse to forgive?
* How can a person's anger affect his or her family, now and in the future?
Elder Donald L. Hallstrom of the Seventy said: "If you feel you have been wronger - by anyone (a family member, a friend, another member of the Church, a Church leader, a business associate) or by anything (the death of a loved one, health problems, a financial reversal, abuse, addictions) - deal with the matter directly and with all the strength you have...And, without delay, turn to the Lord. Exercise all of the faith you have in Him. Let Him share your burden. Allow His grace to lighten your load... Never let an earthly circumstance disable you spiritually" ("turn to the Lord," Ensign, May 2010, 80).
Helaman 15-16
15 The Lord chastened the Nephites because He loved them - Converted Lamanites are firm and steadfast in the faith - The Lord will be merciful unto the Lamanites in the latter days. About 6 B.C.
16 The Nephites who believe Samuel are baptized by Nephi - Samuel cannot be slain with the arrows and stones of the unrepentant Nephites - Some harden their hearts, and others see angels - The unbelievers say it is not reasonable to believe in Christ and His coming in Jerusalem. About 6-1 B.C.
DC 58:34-43
To repent, men must confess and forsake their sins;
* What verse stood out to me today?
- 42 Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.
- 43 By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins - behold, he will confess them and forsake them.
General Conference
Called to the Work
Elder David A. Bednar
"An assignment to labor in a specific place is essential and important but secondary to a call to the work."
Prepare the Way
Bishop Gerald Causse
"Even though they are vested with different missions and
authority, the Aaronic Priesthood and the
Melchizedek Priesthood are inseparable partners
in the work of salvation."
James left to go on a Razr ride this morning at 7:15. I encouraged him to go and to have a little fun thinking he would be back in an hour or so. I soon realized that he broke two of our rules. First, he did not take his phone, and second, he left in such a hurry that he failed to tell me where he was going. When he wasn't back by 9 a.m. I said a prayer and decided I needed to go out looking for him. I wasn't sure which way he would go so I headed up forest road 404 and made the loop turning down Christmas Tree Trail and then back down the 61. The only animal I saw was a turkey. This is a 30 mile loop and it took me an hour. I got back home at 10 a.m., and there was still no James. Now I was really worried. I texted the kids and told them to say a prayer that I would be able to find dad. On my way out I called my neighbor Kathy and as I was talking to her on the phone, James came zipping up the road from the direction of Chocolate Lake. I was so relieved that I couldn't even get mad at him. Of course I had to remind him of the two rules he had broken. If something would have happened to him I would have never found him because he went up Mount Montoso looking for elk antlers. Someone closed a gate on him and he had to take a round about way home, which is why it took him so long.
When I am stressed or nervous I eat. I did plenty of eating today.
James was gone again this afternoon from 2:30-4:30 visiting Anthony with his home teaching companion Dave. We were able to watch this weeks episode of "When Calls the Heart." Afterwards James left to have FHE with the Wilhelm's. The lesson was on missionary work and James's companion Dave told about his mission to Scotland.
James is going to be gone for the next couple of days to the valley so I would have liked to spent more time with him today but I am grateful to have a husband who fulfills his priesthood assignments.
I was able to spend three hours working on my talk for Saturday on receiving personal revelation. I also watched Dancing with the Stars Disney Night.
My favorites from tonight: Rashad and Emma, Normani and Val, and Simone and Sasha.
