'Enduring Power'
Elder Kelly R. Johnson
Of the Seventy
During the time we have not been able to attend the temple, have we each relied upon the covenants we made in the temple to set a clear, unchanging course of direction in our lives? These covenants, if kept, give us vision and expectations regarding the future and a clear determination to qualify to receive all that the Lord has promised through our faithfulness.
I invite you to seek the power God wants to give you. I testify that as we seek for this power, we will be blessed with a greater understanding of the love our Heavenly Father has for us.
P5 S3
It teaches of life's purpose and explains the doctrine of Christ, which is central to that purpose.
The Living Christ
P3 S1
He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice.
There was a mama elk and baby by Luna's corral this morning. I wonder if they were looking for water. This probably means that the fence is down somewhere.
I got a text from Sheri this morning about Max. He got kicked out of his AP history class and his diabetes is out of control, and he destroyed his phone. She says she lays up all night worrying and doesn't know what to do anymore. Why is being a parent so difficult? Sometimes it's hard to turn things over to the Lord when you see your children making such horrible mistakes. You want them to stop right now! Why have our grandkids had such a difficult time growing up? I pray for the older ones to have an experience that will put them back on the gospel path and I pray that the younger ones will have a desire to stay faithful. We have been asked to gather scattered Israel and prepare for the Second Coming of the Savior and yet our family is in a crisis.
My goal this morning was to finish the Easter baskets I made for Cammy, Tanna, and Catherine and Kerri. James when to town. As soon as he got back he helped me deliver my baskets. He is such a sweetie! Tanna was home and outside so I stepped out of the car to say hello. She has gone back to work and I suppose the babies daddy is taking care of him while she is gone. I went in to say hello to Catherine, she insisted. Kerri wasn't home. Catherine was excited to tell me the news that Kerri has an offer on her house in Ajo.
At the Grapp's we both went in. Benson had to tell us that he is playing Little League ball and he took James back to his bedroom to show him everything he built with the Lego set we got him. James was impressed! We love the Grapp's and their kids! Cammy and Thomas told me about a mouse infestation they had and how they had to take everything out of the years supply room. They are at war with the mice and eventually the Grapp's will win!
James and I attended a stake meeting for Elders Quorum Presidencies and Relief Society Presidencies at the stake center in Lakeside. I wouldn't help but compare the logistics of this meeting with the stake Relief Society meeting we had a few weeks ago. That meeting was in the chapel and we were spread out all over the chapel and the leaders on the stand were every other chair and almost everyone had a mask on. This meeting tonight were all crowded into the Primary room sitting around the stake presidency who did not have masks. Maybe two people or three people wore masks. I guess a new directive has come out since that last meeting.
At this meeting this evening we were instructed by our stake presidency, President Beeler, President Alder, and President Smithson. We talked about priesthood keys and priesthood authority and how women are equal partners with men in the priesthood. It was a good meeting. Everyone in our ward was in attendance except Chuck Crane, and Brother Patrick.
