Jesus Christ, Light of the World
3 Nephi 18:24
Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up - that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
Alma 56 - Helaman sends an epistle to Moroni
April General Conference
"The Power of the Book of Mormon in Conversion"
Elder Benjamin M. Z. Tai
By consistently applying the doctrine of Christ in our lives, we will overcome inertia that impedes change and fear that foils action. We will receive personal revelation, for the Holy Ghost "will show unto you all things what ye should do," and "the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do."


Lots of "Come Follow Me" study today. I listened to Book of Mormon Central, "Teaching with Power", and "Don't Miss This." These power point pages are from "Teaching with Power":



James did not sleep well last night and when Anthony did not show up to work on the fence, he didn't go out either. This afternoon we went into town to do some shopping. James needed to get some transmission fluid for his truck, we needed more flowers for the back patio, and since I'm feeding the missionaries on Saturday, I needed to do some grocery shopping. I wore my mask into the store but immediately took it off after entering. I got the ingredients for two baked ziti's. Darrel and Trina and their family are coming up tomorrow. I also got frozen burgers, and stuff to make enchiladas. I also have chicken thighs in the freezer at home so I have ingredients for several meals. The shelves at Walmart are still pretty bare and some things they just don't have. 

James came in time to help me check out at the scan and go. I don't like doing it by myself. He bought some flowers for me at Home Depot but could not find transmission fluid at Home Depot or Walmart so we had to stop at O'Reilly's before leaving for home.

It was 84 degrees when we left Show Low. The new pavement is so nice. They finished it to the St. Johns Y. Up ahead of us we could see a big rainstorm. James said it looked like we could be getting some rain at home. I said we were probably on the edge. When we got into Vernon it was raining and the temperature was 68. It rained all the way through Vernon and on to our home and looked like it had rained earlier also. We were so happy! Luna was waiting for us on the hill and came down to visit while we unloaded the car.

Later this evening it rained hard for quite some time. I'm not sure how widespread this rain was, but it was wonderful here at our place. We have been praying for it.

I listened to Candace Owens interview Tim Ballard and then Ben Carson today. She is a young black woman who now supports Trump and conservative values. She went to Oxford some time ago and debated that Trump should not be impeached. Her defense of him was awesome even for someone like me who is not a huge Trump fan. I am beginning to really like Candace Owens and wish she would run for political office.

Here is her bio according to Wikipedia:
Candace Amber Owens Farmer (born April 29, 1989) is an American conservative author, commentator, and political activist. Initially critical of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party Owens has become known for her increasingly pro-Trump activism as a black woman, in addition to her criticism of Black Lives Matter and the Democratic Party. she worked for the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA between 2017 and 2019 as its communications director. 
BTW, I love Tim Ballard and Ben Carson. They are two amazing men doing amazing things for our country and the world!
