"I Love To See the Temple"
President Henry B. Eyring
Second Counselor in the First Presidency
I know that temples of the Lord are holy places. My purpose today in speaking of temples is to increase your desire and mine to be worthy and ready for the increased opportunities for temple experiences that are coming for us.
Family Proclamation
P4
The First Commandment that God gave to Adam and Even pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God's commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

"President Russell M. Nelson made clear for us that we can "see" the Savior in the temple in the sense that He becomes no longer unknown to us." - Henry B. Eyring, "I Love To See the Temple"
Today was fast Sunday and James and I totally forgot. Brother Goodman reminded us when he conducted our fast and testimony meeting.
Before leaving for church this morning we got our Happy Sabbath photos from Charlie. This is such a nice way to start the Sabbath day.
We sat by the Goodman's at church. Barbara during church and then Pierce during the second hour. Pierce is going to refill my tooth tomorrow morning at 10.
I introduced myself to the couple sitting in front of us in the chapel. I asked if they were new or visiting? They said neither, they had been inactive but were coming back. Their names: Kiristin and Kris Lee. Kris grew up in St. Johns and knows the Lambson's. They seemed like a nice couple, both are 59.
Brother Scott taught Sunday School and did a good job. I'm not sure where Brother Applegate was today. James had a family history meeting with Collin after Sunday School. I waited in the car for about 30 minutes. When we got home we found walnut brownies and pretzel turtles left there by our friend Pam. They were delicious and just the snack we needed after lunch. After lunch we had a nap.
James and his partner Dave W. went out to see Anthony this afternoon. James couldn't get Anthony on the telephone. Anthony was not there so James said it was a wasted trip. I told him I did not think it was. James said Anthony may have gone to Oklahoma with Forrest.
We had smoke from the Whiteriver fire today. They are evacuating Miami which means there are two fires in the state right now. Paul sent out an email asking us to pray for rain. We definitely will.
The new movie, "Witnesses" is in theaters now.
Paul said someone he knows saw it and that it was very accurate.
