"Room in the Inn"
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
As our hearts change and we receive His image in our countenance, we see Him and ourselves in His Church. In Him, we find clarity, not dissonance. In Him, we find cause to do good, reason to be good, and increasing capacity to become better. In Him, we discover abiding faith, liberating selflessness, caring change, and trust in God. In His Inn, we find and deepen our personal relationship with God, our Father, and Jesus Christ.
#1
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.

"Hope in Christ"
I hope in Christ with expectation because I know His promises are sure. Even in the waiting, I life my gaze and extend my reach towards others while we work and wait together.
Sheri asked me if I had any pancake mix. I told her I had Kodiak cake mix and Ben was excited. I also gave her some Hungry Jack and some Bisquick. She said that pancakes is Max's favorite breakfast. She also made bacon and sausage. James had brought me oatmeal and watermelon earlier so I wasn't hungry.
After breakfast we played a game of Five Crowns. When I say we I mean Sheri, Ben, Max, and I. We played last night and Ben won. Today when we played, I won. When Sheri asked Ben if he wanted to play Five Crowns later in the day, he said no.
James's phone has not been working so he went to Verizon in town to fix it. They said that something was wrong with the touch pad senser and they couldn't fix it. They told him of a wireless place that would fix it, but it was closed, so he came home.
On Sunday Sister Brown told me she could not teach this Sunday because she would be out of town. I told Tamara I would teach but she wanted me to try to get someone to teach. Today I texted Sister DeWitt and asked if she would be able to teach and she said she would be glad too. I was so grateful.
The boys went on more Razr rides today but we told them to please leave the snakes alone. We have gotten some rain and hopefully they will open the forests up again.
This evening we read the first 40 verses of D&C 76 for "Come Follow Me." We had some discussion and Ian disagreed with James on something. James handled it well and bore his testimony.
James built a fire in the firepit and the kids roasted marshmallows.
