Copenhagen, Denmark

118th operating temple

Dedicated: 23 May 2004

By: Gordon B. Hinckley

Jesus Christ, Crucifixion

Revelations 11:8

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Book of Mormon

3 Nephi 1:1-14

* What does it mean to you to "lift up your head and be of good cheer?"

- To not despair. Literally lift up your head, look to Him and His Atonement. Be optimistic and exercise faith. I love President Hinckley's quote: "Things will  work out." We don't just endure, but enjoy life. I love President Uchtdorf's "Grateful in Any Circumstances" talk from the October 2014 general conference. I am also reminded of Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin's quote: "Come what may and love it!"

Don't give up on the Lord. Things will be right soon enough. Believe in good things to come. Focus on helping others rather than focusing on my problems helps me to be of good cheer.

Old Testament

Isaiah 64-66

General Conference

Truth and the Plan

President Dallin H. Oaks

"When we seek the truth about religion, we should use spiritual methods appropriate for the search."

James fixed me breakfast this morning before conference. I made three kinds of muffins, but no one ate them except me. James had a few of the banana nut ones.

Potatoes, eggs, onions, and green chilies

It was foggy when we got up this morning and before we knew it, it was snowing. Kathy and Kaitlyn were very excited.  It snowed for quite a while but it soon turned into rain and everything melted.

Pretty exciting for conference weekend
