"God Loves His Children"
Elder Taniela B. Wakolo
Of the Seventy
He Manifests His Love to His Children By Calling Prophets
Our current world is deluged in a "war of words and tumult of opinions" (Joseph Smith - History 1:10). Paul reminds us that "there are . . . so many kinds of voices in the world" (1 Corinthians 14:10). Which of all the voices rise clearly and meaningfully above the fray" It is the voice of God's prophets, seers, and revelators.
"They Cannot Prevail; We Cannot Fall"
Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong
Of the Seventy
How can we let God prevail in our lives and not the adversary? In Doctrine and Covenants 6:34 we read, "Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail." It is a significant promise. Although earth and hell may combine against us, they cannot prevail if we choose to let God prevail by establishing our lives upon His rock.
Articles of Faith
#11
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
Inklings
Alma 27
The Nephites give the Anti-Nephi-Lehies the land of Jershon
They are called the people of Ammon.
D&C 124:23
And it shall be for a house for boarding, a house that strangers may come from afar to lodge therein; therefore let it be a good house, worthy of all acceptation, that the weary traveler may find health and safety while he shall contemplate the word of the Lord; and the cornerstone I have appointed for Zion.
I took a little side trip from the "Come Follow Me" lesson today. Orson Hyde is one of the characters mentioned in section 68. Elder Hyde served 8 missions during his lifetime and one of these missions was to Palestine. While he was there, he had a vision of the gathering of the Jews to Palestine (Israel), which led him to climb the Mount of Olives and dedicate the land for the gathering of the Jews, the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the creation of a Jewish state, and the building of a temple. That happened in 1841.
James worked on the front planter this morning, fixing water lines, planting flowers and a small tree. This didn't stop him from bringing me breakfast and making the bed.
We caught mouse #3 under the oven, but I think our bat is back. I keep finding droppings on the table and couch by the fireplace. I wrote on my grocery list for today, Bat Bomb!
James and I left for town around 1pm. We had lunch at LaCasita. This time I had my chicken enchilada with red sauce and a side of rice and beans. James surprisingly just ordered a chicken enchilada with green sauce, no sides. He did end up eating at least half of my refried beans.
After lunch James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Home Depot to get wood chips for the planter. He picked me up in time from Walmart to pick out a watermelon. It was overcast as we drove home. I asked James if he got the horse feed. No, he had forgotten. We had already passed Tractor Supply where he usually buys it. He drove on to Cal-Ranch. I waited in the car while he went in to get two bags of horse feed. Now we have wood chips in the back, groceries in the second seat area and horse feed. My little car can hold more than you would think.
Kim texted me while we were driving home. This is what she said:
How are you guys doing up there? You aren't in any fire danger are you? I heard that there are like 24 fires just in the Apache-Sitgreaves forest right now. They are closing the forests around the state. ( I knew Coconino was closing and I figured the rest would follow).
It looks like our wards young men/young women camp will probably be cancelled. They were supposed to go up tomorrow morning, but the forest is closed starting Thursday at 6 a.m. Saying lots of prayers for rain.
There are more than 40 fires around the state right now. The notice I saw was that there are at least 24 in Sitgreaves forest. I'm sure not all of them are huge.
Just don't go on Razr rides through the forest. Huge fines and possible jail time right now.
Maybe get a couple of rides in before Thursday morning.
They are closing Kaibab too.
I told Brian they should just go to San Diego instead and camp on the beach.
Kim said nothing about their ward coming to our place and neither did I.
After putting away the groceries James was tired and laid down on the recliner to rest. When he got up I was fixing dinner and he got ready to go out and ride Luna. I reminded him that he had told the missionaries he would meet them at Sister MacArthur's. He said he had forgotten as he went in to get ready. Sister MacArthur just lives across the road and down from us. James leaves around 6:45 and is back just a few minutes later. I asked him what happened. He said when he got to Chelsea's he called the Elders and they told him she had cancelled an hour ago because her husband got home from Alaska. He told them he wished they had called him and they apologized but sometimes an apology is too late. It's too late for him to ride Luna and he won't be able to ride her again until Friday. She needs the exercise.
I talked to Tanna today and she is onboard to have a barbecue at our house with the missionaries. They asked me if I would schedule it. I told her to talk to Travis and get back with me as to what time works for them.
While I was indexing I turned on the Sun - Clippers game in the family room and every once in awhile I would go and check the score. The Suns were always a head but only by a few points. They are playing without their point guard, Chris Paul, who has been sick. At the end of the game the Clippers were ahead 103-102. There was nine tenths of a second left. Crowder through the ball to the basket. Ayton jumped and put the ball in, Suns win! It was amazing. For some reason the refs gave the Clippers another seven tenths of a second. They made a play but the ball did not go in the basket. As I was thinking about the Suns winning all 9 games in a row in the playoffs I thought how much we need this in Arizona right now. I found this post by Arizonahighways on Instagram that says it better than I can:
Listened to another session of Dr. Kim D'Eramo. This one was called "How Embracing Illness Heals You." Here are a few notes I took:
Begin to embrace health. What we focus on expands. Fight or Flight syndrome. What you believe is what you will experience. Allow and release. Shift into a higher consciousness. Release my pain. I am open to a whole new level of freedom. Confidence, passion, awaken.
Love and nurture myself through diet. Vibrant living.
I ordered this today for our bed which is
a little hard.
amazing young woman!
