"Pressing Toward the Mark"
Elder Edward Dube
Of the Seventy
In 2012, as I walked for the first time into the general conference leadership meeting, I could not help feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. In my mind there was a voice persistently repeating, "You do not belong here! A serious mistake had been made!" Just as I was walking trying to find a place to sit, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spotted me. He came to me and said, "Edward, it is good to see you here," and he tenderly patted my face. I felt like a baby! His love and embrace warmed me up and helped me to feel the spirit of belonging, the spirit of brotherhood.
"Remember Your Way Back Home"
Elder Jose A. Teixeira
Of the Presidency of the Seventy
We Can Remember That We Are Children of God
We have a divine heritage. Knowing that we are children of God and that He wants us to return to His presence is one of the first steps on the journey back to our heavenly home.
Remind yourself of this heritage.

"I celebrate God-given differences and refuse to let them become man-made divisions. Where there is compassion and inclusion, there is unity and Christlike love."
-Elder Gary E. Stevenson
Molly had a wonderful time at Jared's wards girls camp. They stayed in a nice cabin, zip-lined, went canoeing, and rode horses and Molly loved it. Kacey said: "Molly had an amazing time at camp. She bore her testimony twice at testimony meeting. All the leaders loved her and were so impressed with her. She shared with her leaders that she wants to go to church but her mom hates the church and she is afraid to ask to go. The YW president of our ward contacted the bishop and also the YW president of her ward in San Antonio and they are working together to try to get her to activities. I don't know how far they will get because when her mom finds out, she is going to be angry. It's all so sad. But it's helpful to hear about this side of Molly. She is so torn about what her heart feels and what she is told at home about the Gospel. She was able to let her guard down at camp and really share what's in her heart about wanting to be a part of the Gospel.
Jared just found out they removed their names for the records of the Church. Kids included. I didn't think that was allowed without Jared's consent. Hopefully it was a mistake to remove records of children under the age of 18 and Molly will not have to be baptized again. The bishop of Molly's ward is checking to see what the policy is.
We are all praying for Molly.
I listened to a Come Follow Me podcast this morning called "Act in Doctrine" with Susan Tanner, Mary Ann Richardson, and Stephanie Dibbs Sorenson. These were the Doctrinal Takeaways:
1. See the world through Spiritual Eyes.
2. Parents have a sacred obligation to raise children in righteousness.
3. The Lord makes us temporal and spiritual stewards, and we are accountable to Him.
Armando is making some decisions regarding the Lake Park Village job, that are very frustrating to James. He keeps changing the schedule and not doing things he is supposed to do. James thinks he has some other jobs going and he is distracted. The next pour is on Thursday and James will be going down to make sure everything is done as it should be.
A real tragedy occurred in Show Low yesterday during a state championship bicycle race. I read about it from someone involved in the race and will post the article here.
I got a text from Kacey today with a picture of a set of my earplugs asking me if these were mine. I responded they were and said she could throw them away. Kacey just wanted to know if Charlie was correct. She was helping Kacey clean out the room we stayed in and when Kacey found the ear plugs Charlie said, "Those are Grandma's." Charlie was right. I think we talked about them when I was there. She asked me what they were and why I wore them and I told her that I wore them because grandpa snores when he's asleep and I can't hear him when I wear my earplugs.
Our friend Paula sent out this update regarding the fires in Arizona:
That means everyone will be coming to the White Mountains.
I wonder how long before our forests close. Brian's group is coming up on Wednesday. Hopefully they will be able to camp near Green's Peak.
This evening after indexing and while practicing my caligraphy, I listened to a talk by Dr. Kim D'Eramo. I ordered her book, The Mind/Body Toolkit. She believes we can heal many of our problems by using certain techniques. Kim listens to her and she is the one that introduced me and got me interested.
