April General Conference
Shall We Not Go On In So Great a Cause?
President M. Russell Ballard
In the face of persecution, Hyrum exhibited faith in the Lord's promises, including a guarantee to escape his enemies if he so chose. In a blessing Hyrum received in 1835 under the hands of Joseph Smith, the Lord promised him: "Thou shalt have power to escape the hand of thine enemies. Thy life shall be sought with untiring zeal, but thou shalt escape If it please thee, and thou desirest, thou shalt have the power voluntarily to lay down thy life to glorify God."

Kim and Brian had a meeting this morning on Facebook Live. In this meeting they got a new bishop. Their new bishop will be Neal Tarwater. The Tarwater family members are long-time residence of Chandler. Neal's mother Danelle was the president of the school board. I am friends with Neal's sister Debbie. I knew her in Chandler and now she lives in Shumway and works at the temple with us. Her name is Debbie Vance. She is married to another one of my friends, brother, Jim Vance, Dianne Layton's brother. It's a small world in the Church here in Arizona.
At 10:30 we had home church with Kim and Brian. James conducted. For the opening song we sang, "Scatter Sunshine" and Kim gave the opening prayer. For the sacrament hymn we sang, "Tis Sweet to Sing the Matchless Love." Brian and James blessed and administered the sacrament. After the sacrament we discussed this week's "Come Follow Me" lesson.
Alma 39-42 "The Great Plan of Happiness"
Alma 39
Sexual sin is an abomination in the sight of the Lord.
Alma 40-41
I will be resurrected and stand before God to be judged.
Alma 40
I can seek answers to my gospel questions in faith.
Alma 42
The Atonement of Jesus Christ makes the plan of redemption possible.
After our discussion we all sat down and watched Brother Yarn's BYU speech which was about 40 minutes long. It was good and we all enjoyed Brother Yarn's southern accent.
I also watched Elder Oaks's talk from 1998.
Kim had asked the family if they would include Joseph in their fast today. James and I did this and most everyone else on our family phone group said they would fast for him too.
Before they came up Kim and I planned on the four of us eating Sunday dinner together. We are having steaks, they buying theirs, and we buying ours. James said he has a hard time eating meat and asked if he could have beans. I bought a 2 lb. bag of beans at the store on Friday. I soaked them for 8 hours yesterday and then cooked them in crockpot for over 8 hours last night. This morning I took them out of the crockpot and put them in the refrigerator to marinate for 8 hours. They didn't marinate for 8 hours but they were still delicious and made James happy. Brian made sweet potatoes. I though he would just bake sweet potatoes in the oven but he made sweet potatoes like we have at Thanksgiving. They were delicious! I also made asparagus and corn muffins. I need to remember that Kim needs food that is gluten-free. Kim said her steak, a filet, just melted in her mouth. Our steaks were ribeye's bought from Walmart and they were a little tough but had a good flavor. It was a delicious dinner!
Kim and I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen and then it was rest time. Kim is doing a hot air balloon puzzle. I guess she was inspired by the movie last night.
family are friends of ours from Chandler.
During our FaceTime with Jared's family we went outside on the porch because it was raining. We also wanted to watch the hummingbirds at the two feeder's James put up. It is in the 60's and this rain was totally unexpected and so appreciated! Kim and Brian are coming for Thanksgiving and Jared said they will either come for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Jared started our Lambson Family Discussion group on Zoom. James, Kim, Brian, Sheri, Jared, Kacey, Charlie and myself attended. Stacy let us know she wouldn't be here but had studied the talks. She said this about "You Love, He Saves":
"Ok, that was really, really good. I really need to change my attitude about my kids and love them unconditionally."
Autumn graduated from BYU-Idaho with a degree in Family Relations. Congratulations Autumn!!
