'Hope in Christ'
M. Russell Ballard
Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
I speak of hope in Christ not as wishful thinking. Instead, I speak of hope as an expectation that will be realized. Such hope is essential to overcoming adversity, fostering spiritual resilience and strength, and coming to know that we are loved by our Eternal Father and that we are His children, who belong to His family.
When we have hope in Christ, we come to know that as we need to make and keep sacred covenants, our fondest desires and dreams can be fulfilled through Him.
Restoration Proclamation
P1
We solemnly proclaim that God loves His children in every nation of the world. God the Father has given us the divine birth, the incomparable life, and the infinite atoning sacrifice of His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. By the power of the Father, Jesus rose again and gained the victory over death. He is our Savior, our Exemplar, and our Redeemer.

I got a recipe for pork chop marinate off the SixSistersStuff.com.
This morning during my study time I put the four pork chops James got yesterday in the marinate and put them in the refrigerator.
After James and I had prayer and scripture study he left for the Gordon's. I listened to Tyler and Taylor at Book of Mormon Central while I was working on my blog. As I was sitting there, I got a text from Sheri. It seems that Evan was walking to Circle K with Joshua and rolled his foot on the curb and broke it. He has to wear a boot and today he is a little nervous about going to school. I told Sheri I would pray for him.
I did a good dust of our bedroom and then cleaned the bathroom and washed all of the towels. I also vacuumed and mopped. I feel so much better when I am caught up on my weekly cleaning.
James said he would be back by 1 o'clock from the Gordon's. I told him I would have lunch ready for him. I took my break before fixing lunch and watched part of the movie, "Mom's Day Away."
Sister Elmer the temple co-ordinator for the sisters on my Saturday shift, texted today and ask if we could work on May 22nd and the 29th. I told James and he said he could work on the 22nd but not the 29th because he is starting a job in the valley. That is the Saturday before our week in the valley and I would like to use it to get ready. If needed I can work but I told Sister Elmer I could definitely work on the 22nd.
As part of my study of the "Come Follow Me" lesson today I listened to a talk Elder Bednar gave at the Worldwide Leadership Conference on February 11th, 2006. The talk's title is: "Marriage is Essential to His Eternal Plan."
At noon I started preparing lunch. I turned the oven on to 375 degrees. I got out a large skillet to make the Rice-a-Roni. I browned the vermecilli and rice in butter and added seasonings and water and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. I then got out a sauce pan and added some water. When the water started boiling I put in a package of baby carrots. I cooked the carrots until they were soft and then drained them. I added butter, honey, lemon juice, and salt and pepper
and let them cook until a glazed formed on the carrots. I put the pork chops in the oven and poured the marinate over them and baked them for about 25 minutes. Everything was ready just as James walked in the door. He was so impressed. We both liked the lunch, especially the carrots and rice. The pork chops were good too, but not my favorite. For dessert we had our most delicious hazlenut Oreos.
This afternoon I got online and looked at headstones for my dad's grave. There is a business in Show Low called, Everlasting Monuments just down the street from the Show Low Cemetery. I looked at what they have to offer and decided I will go in on Monday and get some prices. Next I'm going to talk to Dennis and see if he will talk to Harold about sharing the cost. My dad has been gone 14 years and he still has not headstone. That is not right. If the boys don't want to help with the cost, then I will do it myself.
While indexing this afternoon I watched a movie on my phone called, "Love Is a Piece of Cake." Although not a Hallmark movie it was along the same storyline.
I went outside on the deck and took a picture of Luna grazing in the field. The grass is green right now and it made a nice picture. If only she had a friend.
The weather was beautiful today, around 70 degrees with very little wind. James said it was perfect for working outside. He went to the post office and picked up a Mother's Day card from the Trezise's. They had all signed it and it was so sweet. So far it's the only card I have received although I got many messages via text. James said he bought me a card but somehow he didn't make it home with it.
Listened to Ben Wilcox on "Teaching with Power" for the Come Follow Me lesson. He always had an icebreaker and today it was truths you might not know or that are out of the ordinary. The one I remember the most is that Jeff Beso, the found of Amazon is the richest man in the world. He is worth 12 billion dollars. Also the tallest man in the world lives in Turkey and he is 8'3". These truths are both out of the ordinary.
I have now indexed 2,321 names this month.
