Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son
Alma 5:48
I say unto you, that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall say unto you, concerning that which is to come, is true; and I say unto you, that I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy, and truth. And behold, it is he that cometh to take away the sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 16:1-17:25

"Come Follow Me"
I can hear the Lord's voice in the Doctrine and Covenants.

'Let Patience Have Her Perfect Work, And Count It All Joy!'
Elder Jeremy R. Jaggi
Of the Seventy
We "let patience have her perfect work" (James 1:4) in our inability to meet in person as ward families for a season. But we count as joy our families' faith increasing through new technology connections and Come Follow me study of the Book of Mormon.
President Russell M. Nelson promised, "Your consistent efforts in this endeavor - even during those moments when you feel that you are not being particularly successful - will change your life, that of your family, and the world".
Where we make sacred covenants with God - the temple - is temporarily closed. Where we keep covenants with God - the home - is open! We have an opportunity at home to study and ponder on the exceptional beauty of temple covenants. Even in the absence of entry into that sacred physical space, our "hearts . . . shall greatly rejoice in consequence of the blessings which shall be poured out" (Doctrine and Covenants 110:9).
'Highly Favored Of The Lord'
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
A second example of being highly favored of the Lord is the revelation regarding ministering in a higher and holier way.
In 2018, President Nelson introduced ministering as an adjustment "in the way we care for each other." The pandemic has introduced numerous opportunities to hone our ministering skills.
The Church itself has also been ministering to others during the pandemic with an unprecedented distribution of commodities to food banks, homeless shelters, and immigrant support centers and with projects directed to the world's most serious hunger situations. Relief Society sisters and their families responded to the challenge of making millions of masks for health-care workers.
P4 S1
We affirm that under the direction of the Father and the Son, heavenly messengers came to instruct Joseph and re-establish the Church of Jesus Christ.
The Living Christ
P3 S1
He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice.
Stacy told me something that I want to share here. This week during one of their "Come Follow Me" discussions, Jared Ammon came and stayed through the entire discussion. Afterwards he talked to Stacy about coming up here and staying for awhile. He asked if he thought we would want to see him. I told her, of course we would! She said he told her that it had been seven years since he had been here.
She thinks he is trying to find himself and wants some time alone to think.
The Peeler's daughter Serena has cancer. I am praying for her and for Sherrie Swanson, Pam Giles's friend who is taking the missionary discussions.
This morning on the way to town for my post op appointment, James and I listened to "Follow Him", a podcast with John Bytheway and Hank Smith. They always have a gospel scholar as a guest speaker. This week was Scott Woodward who teaches religion at BYU-Idaho. He was soooo good! I learned so much and so did James. I texted Sheri and she was listening to them too!
My eyepatch was removed this morning and Dr. Palmer checked my eye and said it looked good. One of his instructions to me was to not bend over. I asked him why because I said that was very difficult for me. He said that it causes pressure on the eye.
On the way home James and I were both hungry so we stopped at Burger King and ordered Whopper Jr.'s 2/$5.00. They gave us regular Whoppers which was a little disappointing because I really only wanted a junior.
When I got home I talked to Sheri and told her about my eye being blurry so she told me to put tape over the left lense. That worked.
James went to the dump, finally delivered Tanna's Valentines, and went to the post office. Tanna thanked me and when I asked how the baby was doing she sent me some photos.
He's a cutie!
Stacy needed help tonight. She had sent Paul to the store, she was not feeling well, but forgot to tell him to get bread. She needed someone to get bread for her for Joshua's lunch tomorrow. Brian, who says he doesn't like people, volunteered. When he delivered the bread, he also brought flowers for Stacy. For someone who doesn't like people he is very thoughtful and loves to help. I mentioned once that I liked his TV and that Christmas he bought us a new TV. Be careful what you wish for when Brian is listening because he just might make your wish come true.
