'Our Sorrow Shall Be Turned Into Joy'
S. Mark Palmer
Of the Seventy
This conference weekend you will hear living apostles and prophets testify of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. "The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day; . . . all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to this truth." I promise that as you listen with real intent, the Spirit will confirm in your mind and your heart the truth of these testimonies.
'Pressing Toward The Mark'
Elder Edward Dube
Of the Seventy
To press toward the mark is to faithfully continue on the "strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life" with our Savior and our Father in Heaven. Paul viewed his sufferings as "not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Paul's letter to the Philippians, which he wrote when he was bound in prison, is a letter of overwhelming joy and rejoicing and encouragement to all of us, particularly in this difficult time of uncertainty. We all need to take courage from Paul: "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ."
Restoration Proclamation
P#9
With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles invite all to know-as we do-that the heavens are open. We affirm that God is making known His will for His beloved sons and daughters. We testify that those who prayerfully study the message of the Restoration and act in faith will be blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity and of its purpose to prepare the world for the promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Inklings
The Savior can use our unfairness for our benefit.
Family Memory
When Joseph was 4, almost 5, I went to pick Kim up to go to the temple. He looked at me and said, "Grandma, you look cute."
I went into the bathroom this morning and thought I heard the water running outside. I went to tell James and when I looked out the window I realized it was raining. Rain is such a precious commodity in Arizona, especially when we weren't expecting it, that I almost shouted for joy!
James left for the valley early this morning. We said a prayer before he left. I prayed for his safe return. This quote seems appropriate:
"Keep your covenants and you will be safe. Break them and you will not." - Boyd K. Packer
I watched and listened to "Teaching with Power" by Ben Wilcox on YouTube this morning. Because of his visual aids I really do get the most out of his "Come Follow Me" presentation. I also watched a YouTube movie on my phone starring Bailee Madison called "Cowgirl." I really liked it.
The rain stopped hours ago but the wind continues howling. I cleaned James's office, which took awhile and my office upstairs. I still have to do the other two bedrooms and the common area, but I'm done cleaning for today. I will finish next week. Tomorrow I work in the temple.
James was home around 7 p.m. He brought ribs and cranberry celebration from Fry's. He said Burger House was closed. They sure take a lot of vacations.
James and I listened to the final chapter of "Danger on the Loch." Maybe someday I will get to go to Scotland. I also walked and listened to "The Crown of Rosemund."
