Jesus Christ Authority of
3 Nephi 20:14

Book of Mormon
Jacob 2:1-16
*Why is it important to remember that all our blessings come from our Heavenly Father?

General Conference
Earning the Trust of the Lord and Your Family
Richard J. Maynes
" It is my prayer this evening that we might all first place our trust in the Lord, as Nephi exemplified, and then, through the integrity of our hearts, earn the trust of the Lord, as well as the trust of our wives and children. As we understand and apply this sacred principle of trust built on integrity, we will be true to our sacred covenants. We will also succeed in presiding in our families with love and righteousness, providing the necessities of life and protecting our families from the evils of the world. Of these truths I humbly testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
There were 20 or so elk in the yard this morning but I was the only one who saw them. Everyone else was still in bed. I tried to wake James but I guess he didn't hear me.
Today is St. Patrick's day. I don't really have any green clothes to wear, so I wore a green CTR wristband.
We had bacon and waffles for breakfast. Afterwards we read Jacob 2.
I worked on cutting out Abraham's tents for each of the kids in my Primary class.
Lot, Abraham and Sarah, and
baby Isaac.
I got a text from Kim today about a video she wants me to watch for Primary sharing time. It is 18 minutes long and she wants my opinion on whether she should use it tomorrow for her Primary sharing time assignment. I watched the video and loved it. It features three songs, The Miracle, Gethsemane, and I Know that My Redeemer Lives. I think the kids will really like it. Kim was worried that she was coping out by using a video. I said know, this one was special for Easter. The video is on youtube, "Laura Nielson Sharing Time."
I started rolls this morning and cooked two dozen in time for lunch. I made spaghetti for the boys. We are taking them later this afternoon to Heber to meet Sheri.
I watched "Upstairs/Downstairs" on my phone while I finished cutting out Abraham's tents.
Michael had a track meet at UofA today and Paul posted these pictures.
He did really well until the last 300. He is really frustrated. He ran 4 seconds faster at his timed trial. That time would have gotten him 1st place.
The boys are upstairs and James is gone to Charles Gordon's baptism. I take a nap and work on Primary some more.
When James gets home from the baptism we load up the car and get ready to take the boys to Heber to meet Sheri.
Our timing was great, we got to the Circle K in Heber a couple of minutes after Sheri, at 5:30. We went inside and got some snacks before saying our goodbyes. I got hot chocolate and James got a Special Dark Hershey bar. Sheri paid for them both.
Sheri and the boys head home to the valley and we head back to Vernon.
I am grateful James came because he did all the driving. I read some and then took a nap.
We were back at home in time to watch the new Hallmark movie. Afterwards we went to bed.
Wilhelm wrestlers. Three first place medals.
Tomlinson's in D.C. for Spring Break.
Horseshoe Bend
Our dead tree before it fell over.
It wasn't dead when we bought this property.
In fact, James says this tree is one of the
reasons he bought the place.
Amazing!
So long, farewell!
