Alma establishes the Church of Jesus Christ among the people.
President Henry B. Eyring said: "From the day of baptism through the spiritual milestones of our lives, we make promises with God and He makes promises with us. He always keeps His promises offered through His authorized servants, but it is the crucial test of our lives to see if we will make and keep our covenants with Him."
* How does your baptismal covenant influence the way you live each day?
Talk: "The Covenant of Baptism"
By: Elder Robert D. Hales
Oct. 2000 General Conference
3 Nephi 13
Jesus teaches the Nephites the Lord's Prayer - They are to lay up treasures in heaven - The twelve disciples in their ministry are commanded to take no thought for temporal things - Compare Matthew 6. About A.D. 34.
DC 63:24-36
Inheritances in Zion are to be purchased; The Lord decrees wars, and the wicked slay the wicked;
How is baptism a point of spiritual departure in our journey?
General Conference
Then Jesus Beholding Him, Loved Him
Elder S. Mark Palmer
"Anytime you feel you are being asked to do something hard, think of the Lord beholding you, loving you, and
inviting you to follow Him."
I loved listening to Elder Palmer's conference talk this morning, and not just because he has such a great accent. It was all about loving as the Savior loves. Here are some of the things that I wrote in my study journal:
"How can I be filled with Christlike love so others around me can feel it?"
"Because I love you I care what you become."
"See others as the Lord sees the and love them as He loves them."
"Hearts will not change when love is not present."
"Never withdraw love."
"Be humble, repent, sacrifice, and love to receive forgiveness and peace."
"Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth."

I also listened to a talk given by Elder Robert D. Hales in the October 2000 general conference on "The Covenant of Baptism."
Here are some notes from that talk:
"Pain is a purifier."
"Peace be unto thy soul."
"Teach and live, Thy will be done."
Elder Hales had a visitation of Heavenly Hosts during a recent illness.
"The importance of the Lord's timetable and enduring to the end."
"We need to be in the world but not of the world."
"Heed the Savior's admonition, follow thou me."
"We humble ourselves with a broken heart and a contrite spirit."
"We commit to always Remember Him."
"When we are baptized we are changed forever."

Kacey had her custody court date regarding Tanner today. I got a text from Jared on my way to town and this is what he said:
"Short story of what happened. We came to a short term
temporary agreement out of court. Tanner will stay with us until the end of the school year. During the first two months of summer
we get the kids for 4 weeks and their dad gets them for 4 weeks.
Starting in August Tanner will go with his dad and summer with us with each kid going to the other parent one weekend a month.
There is a clause in the agreement that says dad's girlfriend
can't stay overnight when the kids are there. If he violates
this that makes it much more likely that long term we can
keep Tanner. This agreement was recommended by
our attorney and after looking at all the facts we feel good about it.
So Tanner is coming home with us for now."
James had a three hour doctor's appointment today. They did all kinds of tests and gave him a breathing treatment. I worry that he has been coughing up blood and having a hard time breathing.
I watched another John Larroquette movie today, this one was called, "Wedding Daze." It is about a dad who has a triple wedding for his three daughters. It was older, 2004, but I liked it.
I miss James, especially when it is time to go to bed.
