"With the Power of God in Great Glory"
Elder David A. Bednar
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Honoring covenants arms us with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
Attributes of Christ
Hope
Hope is an abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you. It is manifest in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and patient perseverance. It is believing and expecting that something will occur. When you have hope, you work through trials and difficulties with the confidence and assurance that all things will work together for your good. Hope helps you conquer discouragement. The scriptures often describe hope in Jesus Christ as the assurance that you will inherit eternal life in the celestial kingdom.
I listened to all of the talks from the first session of general conference, and while listening followed along on the written page highlighting as I read. I am reviewing all of the talks before next Wednesday evening when we have a combined presidency meeting with the Elder's Quorum presidency to make a lesson schedule for the next six months. I'm putting Elder Soares's talk on compassion and Elder Christofferson's talk on my list from this session.
James is still working on taxes. I found the checkbook ledger for 2012-2018 which he says he sorely needed. Glad to be of some help. While James worked on taxes, Sheri, Evan, Joshua, and I, around noon, took a drive to Greer. Evan always likes to go to Greer. Before the ice cream shop closed we liked to get ice cream. When the ice cream shop closed we began going to a log cabin candy store. That was why Evan said he wanted to go. We stopped along the stream and began walking. Everyone crossed the stream except me. We took picture of the changing leaves. It was so peaceful and beautiful.

We were sad to see that the candy store was closed. I told Evan that since summer is over many stores close and don't reopen until next summer. We had a great time just hanging out by the water. I sat in my chair and enjoyed the scenery and the sound of the water flowing downstream.
On the way home we stopped in Springerville/Eagar at Sonic. Sheri bought me a junior burger. At home I frosted my strawberry poke cake. I frosted two layers and left the other two for later. The cake was delicious. I love the frosting!
James made a trip to town to get some things at Home Depot only to discover he forgot his wallet. Oh dear.
While Sheri was working on the ice cream puzzle I went into the kitchen to make my 7-Up biscuits for tomorrow's ward breakfast before the woodcutting project. I'm so glad I didn't wait until morning to make these biscuits because they took longer than I thought and was very messy. I made two dozen and a few to spare. They are so soft and moist inside because of the sour cream. I love this recipe!
Sheri and I watched a Hallmark movies and mysteries movie, "Love at Mountain View." It was a good one.
Sub sandwiches for dinner. I started a new book, "The Matchmaker's Lonely Heart."
