Jesus Christ, Redeemer
Mosiah 15:24
And these are those who have part in the first resurrection; and these are they that have died before Christ came, in their ignorance, not having salvation declared unto them. And thus the Lord bringeth about the restoration of these; and they have a part in the first resurrection, or have eternal life, being redeemed by the Lord.

"The Name of the Church Is Not Negotiable"
Elder Neil L. Andersen
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
When we willingly follow the counsel of the Lord as revealed through His living prophet, especially if it runs counter to our initial thinking, requiring humility and sacrifice, the Lord blesses us with additional spiritual power.
#6
Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: "His eyes were a s 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
Anna's kids foundation
1. Know God

Up at 4:02. Self-Mastery: "A soft answer turneth away wrath." -Proverbs 15:1. I love this!
In D&C 124:2 the Lord tells Joseph that he is to make a solmen proclamation of His gospel. vs. 3 This proclamation shall be made to all the kings of the world, to the four corners thereof, to the honorable president-elect, and the high-minded governors of the nation in which you live, and to all the nations of the earth scattered abroad. 4 Let it be written in the spirit of meekness and by the power of the Holy Ghost, which shall be in you at the time of the writing of the same; 5 For it shall be given you by the Holy Ghost to know my will concerning those kings and authorities, even what shall befall them in a time to come. 6 For, behold, I am about to call upon them to give heed to the light and glory of Zion, for the set time has come to favor her. The Lord talks about this proclamation through verse 11. In verse 12 He asks that Robert B. Thompson to help Joseph write this proclamation. Seven months after this revelation was given Robert B. Thompson passed away. Joseph asked that others help write this proclamation but this didn't happen either. Finally in 1845, after Joseph's death, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Parley P. Pratt, wrote this proclamation. I looked for it on line on the Church website but couldn't find it. Finally I googled it and found it. I ran a copy of it. It is 16 pages long.
Today I made Rice Krispy treats for the Wilhelm kids and for the Grapp's. I also gave each family a Halloween "bucket and ball" game. I gave each one of the Grapp kids, except for Malea who is too young, a folder with this week's Come Follow Me lesson in it.
James delivered the Wilhelm's and the Grapp's came over this evening. Here is a picture of all of the Grapp kids except Malea. She did not want to be in the picture. It is exciting to see someone as small as Malea is walking!
My Halloween visitors
While here Liana, Cammy, and Thomas helped with the ice cream puzzle. They love to do puzzles as a family and they are quite good. Every time they found a piece Thomas and Cammy would kiss. How sweet. The younger kids played with the Halloween game and went upstairs to play. Thomas, Cammy and I went in to use our printer to print off some pictures of Emsley. Thomas bought a new computer but they did not like the way it printed. While I was with the Grapp's James was over at the dining room table indexing. He said he indexed an hour and only got eight names. I told him that was okay, that was how it was done, one name at a time. He is just used to doing directories and getting about 100 names an hour.
After the Grapp's left James and I went into the bedroom to listen to "An Unlikely Pair" and walk. While James was taking a shower I started watching "Much Ado About Christmas" before going to bed. I only watched about 15 minutes of it.
