Jesus Christ, Prophecies about
Luke 1:70
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Book of Mormon
Alma 35:1-16 
How are the people in Jershon an example of charity?
A: They welcomed those who had been cast out from the Zoramites for believing. This chapter is a parallel of today! Millions are being killed or cast out or forced to leave their homes because of violence or differing beliefs. We need to be like those of Jershon. We have been given counsel to look for those refugees who need us to welcome all and to love.
D&C
RIC: Jesse Gause: Counselor to the Prophet
"Come Follow Me"
DC 81-83 Where "Much Is Given Much Is Required"

"Jesus Christ: The Caregiver of Our Soul"
Elder Ulisses Soares
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
With meekness and humility of heart, He descended below all things and accepted being despised, rejected, and humiliated by men, having been wounded for our transgressions and iniquities. He suffered these things for all, taking upon Himself the sins of the world, thus becoming our ultimate spiritual caregiver.


The Living Christ
#6
Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: "His eyes were as a flame of fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying: "I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father" (D&C 110:3-4).

Inklings
Affirmation:
I am coming to know the Savior in a way that is personal and meaningful to me - a relationship that continues to grow.

I ate a cookie today and then I threw the rest of them away. These are my sugar cookies that I love so much. I have go to get off sugar for at least six days out of seven.

James and I both started out feeling pretty lousy this morning. To help us to feel a little better I read a chapter from our book, "Beyond the White River." Faith finally agreed to marry Joe. It worked, we feel better.

I watched episode 4 of season 2 of "The Chosen." The name of this episode is Matthew 4:24. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

I was a little disorganized today because I got off to a slow start since I was not feeling well. I did manage to sweep and polish the kitchen, dining, and hall bathroom floors. They look so nice. Let's hope they last for another couple of weeks.

Pam brought us sugar cookies and banana nut muffins yesterday. She says she is going to the valley for a week. She says she is going to bring back lots of treats. I don't have the heart to tell her I am trying to slow down on the sugar and carbs. She says she's going to bake the perfect oatmeal walnut cookie and bring it to me. She is so sweet.

James and I both got a text from Debbie at the post office. She said: We put packages in a parcel locker for you on Saturday. James told her he would be there at 1pm, and he was. We had another mattress pad for our bed, my sonic teeth cleaner, two books about Eve written by Beverly Campbell, and some small notebooks. Whew!

I finally talked to Sister Diewald today about her ministering. I have been trying for almost a week. She and her husband take such good care of Sister Sayer in our ward who is handicapped. I also talked to Sister Brown on Sunday and she said she would teach Relief Society on August 8th. Thank you!

I got a call from Sheri today. She is taking Ben to Utah to work and was wondering if I would go with her so she won't have to come back alone. Guess when she's going? July 30th. Another reason I need to change the day we are feeding the missionaries. I won't to go with Sheri. I texted the missionaries but I have not heard back from them.

James went on a Luna ride after dinner. It was a beautiful evening. 

I read from several of my books this evening, but not all. I added another book, "Eve and The Choice Made in Eden." 











First visit to Krispy Kreme for these girls
