Alma 17:1-27

*The sons of Mosiah search the scriptures, pray, and fast so they can know the word of God and teach with power.

*What blessings did they receive because of their study, fasting, and prayer?

*Elder David A. Bednar: "You can increase in your desire to serve God, and you can begin to think as missionaries think, to read what missionaries read, to pray as missionaries pray, and to feel what missionaries feel. You can avoid the worldly influences that cause the Holy Ghost to withdraw, and you can grown in confidence in recognizing and responding to spiritual promptings. Line upon line and precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, you can gradually become the missionary you hope to be and the missionary the Savior expects....The preparation I am describing is not oriented only toward your missionary service as a 19 or 20 or 21 year old..., You are preparing for a lifetime of missionary work...We are missionaries always."
DC 88:51-65
51-61, The parable of the man sending his servants into the field and visiting them in turn;
63 Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
64 Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is expedient for you;
Why is there a time and season for everything?
* Because there are many planets and kingdoms the Lord must visit and there must be a time and a season for each visit.

It is good to have goals and plans for our careers, for our education, even for our golf game. It is also important to have goals for our marriages, our families, and our Church councils and callings; this is especially true for missionaries. But our greatest and most overriding goals should fit into Heavenly Father's eternal plan. Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." -3 Nephi 13:33.

James worked at the Howard's this morning and then came home for lunch. He is miserable and asks me to call Dr. Moffat for a refill on his prednisone and antibiotic. The antibiotic can't be fulfilled without seeing the doctor but the girl in the office said she would call the prenisone in.

Darrel and Trina need a babysitter next Thursday, the day we were going to go to the Tucson temple. We now have change of plans. We are going to watch their kids at the time share where they can swim.

I finally got the chance to try out my new Hoover Floormate on the tile and travertine. It gets it really clean but leaves streaks so I am going to use the same polish on it that I do on the wood floors.

James finally got a battery to work in the Cat and he got alot done outside on the fence. I blog and starting finding pictures to give to Terry for Lois's birthday book.

For dinner we had corn on the cob, chicken, and salad. After dinner we watch the movie "The Perfect Bride" starring Kavan Smith and Pascale Hutton from "When Calls the Heart."

When we go to bed this evening we hear a funny noise like shaking pipes. I heard it earlier in the day and James said it was an airplane. He now realizes it is something else and will check it out in the morning.
