"The Personal Journey of a Child of God"
Elder Neil L. Andersen
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
I express my love and compassion for righteous couples who marry and are unable to have the children they so eagerly anticipate and to those women and men who have not had the opportunity to marry according to God's law. The unrealized dreams of life are difficult to understand if viewed only from the perspective of mortality. As the Lord's servant, I promise you that as you are faithful to Jesus Christ and your covenants, you will receive compensating blessings in this life and your righteous desires in the eternal time line of the Lord. There can be happiness in the journey of mortality even when all of our righteous hopes are not realized.
The Living Christ

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 practicing personal peace and calling upon the powers of heaven through principles of patience, gentleness, and love unfeigned.
I love studying the gospel, it is one of my greatest passions!
I have a love/hate with modern technology. I love it when it works right and I hate it when it doesn't. I paid my Dish bill on my phone today which was very handy.
I listened to "Follow Him" while working on my blog this morning. I am so happy to finally be caught up on my blog! James brought me an amazing salad for lunch. I also watched "The Great British Baking Show". Some of their expressions are so different from ours that it makes me laugh. Today a contestant named Stacy said, after getting Star Baker, "I'm well chuffed." I think she means she is happy. Later someone said they were "gutted" because they did so poorly. Here's another one: "I'm absolutely gobsmacked I didn't go home." So far this season they've had bread week, caramel week, pudding week, and pastry week.
While walking I listened to "Heart in the Highlands." This is the first time I've done 10,000 in a long time, in over a month. I'm also behind on my indexing and did some catching up today. I did over 400 names but in order to get 3,000 this month I need to have 900 names by today.
I helped James with tax information again today. I think he is finished and ready to hand everything over to the accountant.
Here are some quotes from my studies today:
"It is the Holy Ghost that bears witness of your words when you teach and testify. It is the Holy Ghost that, as you speak in hostile venues, puts into your heart what you should say and fulfills the Lord's promise that "you shall not be confounded before men" (D&C 100:5). It is the Holy Ghost that reveals how you may clear the next seemingly insurmountable hurdle. It is by the Holy Ghost in you that others may feel the pure love of Christ and receive strength to press forward."
From "Follow Him":
"The Lord uses the evil actions of others to create a Zion-hearted people, which is a message for the early Saints and for us today."
