Mosiah 3:5
For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.

'The Gospel Light of Truth and Love'
By Elder Alan R. Walker
Of the Seventy
I testify that the gospel light of truth and love shines brightly throughout the earth today.
The Family Proclamation
P8
We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
I was up at 5:30 this morning, only 30 minutes late. I was determined to finish my 5,000 indexing names so I could focus on catching up on my blog. I managed to finish about 400 names to make my goal.
We got a little more snow today but nothing that stayed very long. We also had rain and very loud thunder!
For lunch today be had BBQ chicken pizza, a frozen California Pizza from Walmart. It was delicious. Finished off the bag of salad we had in the frig.
We had an Elder's Quorum/Relief Society meeting at the church tonight. James read the indexing stats for our ward so far. We had 13 people participate in April and our total was over 31,000. The only disappointing thing is out of all those 36 people James asked to index, only 13 are doing it. 31,000 is amazing for one month. I'm guessing Brother Peeler did a good share of that number. James did 6,000 and I did 5,000. Most of our meeting was spent planning a meal for Saturday, May 15th at the Wallace's after the Priesthood Commemoration camp out. I went home with the assignment to buy dessert plates, spoons, and plastic cups. James has to get hamburger buns for 100 people. They are doing a pit bbq.
After the Elder's Quorum presidency left our presidency talked about the lesson we are teaching on May 9th. The three of us are teaching so I divided the lesson in thirds. There are 33 paragraphs so each of us will have 11 paragraphs and about 10-11 minutes to present. The talk we will be teaching is the one by President Nelson in the Sunday morning session, "Christ is Risen; Faith in Him will Move Mountains." I am taking the first part of the lesson which discusses what faith is and that faith can grow from the size of a mustard seed to where it is big enough to move mountains. Kerri has the middle part about ways to develop faith. And Tamara has the last part about miracles. Tamara told some funny stories about getting her pig and dog back in their pens when they escaped. She thought getting the pig to go into his cage was a miracle but her husband said no. I told her that women would think it was a miracle but the men wouldn't. She told of another incident which she considered a miracle regarding getting her sister Julie's car into town to get it fixed. It wasn't working and then all of a sudden the engine sounded normal and she was able to drive into town. When she got into town at the car repair shop a huge puff of smoke came from under the engine.
I love the women I work with. We have so much fun when we get together!
