Jesus Christ, Davidic descent of
Jeremiah 33:15
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Book of Mormon #1
3 Nephi 19:30-20:19
*What does the Savior promise those who partake of the sacrament? Why is this promise so significant?
-Elder Dallin H. Oaks said: "Attendance at church each week provides the opportunity to partake of the sacrament, as the Lord has commanded us (see DC 59:9). It we act with the right preparation and attitude; partaking of the sacrament renews the cleansing effect of our baptism and qualifies us for the promise that we will always have His Spirit to be with us. A mission of that Spirit, the Holy Ghost, is to testify of the Father and the Son and to lead us into truth, (see John 14:26; 2 Nephi 31:18). Testimony and truth, which are essential to our personal conversion, are the choice harvest of this weekly renewing of our covenants.: In the day-to-day decisions of my life and in my personal spiritual growth, I have enjoyed the fulfillment of that promise." (Ensign, May 2002 34).

"As parents in ion, we have a sacred duty to awaken within our children passion and commitment to the joy, light, and truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ."



Happy Birthday Jared!





I sure do love this boy of mine. He's a great son,
husband and father. He has gone through some rough
times, and they aren't over yet, but he has a wonderful
wife and now a precious new baby to help get him
through the rough spots. 


I feel prepared to teach Relief Society and at this point I just want it to be over so I can come home and take a nap.

We were a little late coming in to sacrament meeting which never happens, but I am just not on my game. We sat by the Howard's.

Baby Branch was blessed today. The Reidhead's moved out of our ward and are staying in Snowflake with Clayton's brother until after Thanksgiving, but they were back today to bless their baby in the ward that is home to them right now.


Georgia is getting a wonderful family!

Our neighbor Chuck conducted sacrament meeting and was the first to bear his testimony. It was my favorite because it was sincere and covered the five points a testimony should cover.

Ellen got up and made the announcement that she and Dave are going to be baptized on December 8th. This is good news and I hope they can stay on the straight and narrow and make it happen. They have been taking the discussions since before we moved here which was six years ago.

I missed Sunday School. I just needed to go out to the car, offer a prayer, and prep myself for Relief Society. 

Thank goodness for Relief Society sisters who carry a lesson. I wrote on the board the four challenges President Nelson gave us and the blessings associated with those blessings. I read what Kacey sent about replacing social media with scriptures and the sisters loved it. It was spot on! Thanks Kacey!

For our action plan I challenged each of the sisters to pray and ponder about what their spiritual gifts are and what they can do to use those gifts to "change the world."

James made us venison and gravy for lunch. The best!  An afternoon in which Karen rests and gets nothing done.''

Yummmmmm

Cathi's daughter Wendy has breast cancer and so does Cathi's sister. So sad.

Aaron's first wife Michelle's, brother
he graduated with Darrel and spoke at the 
graduation.

Such a sweetie!
