"The Principles Of My Gospel"
Elder David A. Bednar
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
With all the energy of my soul, I invite all of us to learn, live, and love principles of righteousness. Only gospel truths can enable us to "cheerfully do all things that lie in our power" to press forward on the covenant path and to "see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."
I know that the doctrine and principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ are the foundational sources of direction for our lives and of enduring joy in mortality and eternity. 

"Covid-19 And Temples"
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
As I announce our plans to construct 20 more temples, I ponder and praise pioneers - past and present - whose consecrated lives have helped to make this history today. A new temple will be built in each of the following locations: Oslo, Norway; Brussels, Belgium; Vienna, Austria; Kumasi, Ghana: Beira, Mozambique; Cape Town, South Africa; Singapore, Republic of Singapore; Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Cali, Colombia; Queretaro, Mexico; Torreon, Mexico; Helena, Montana; Casper, Wyoming; Grand Junction, Colorado; Farmington, New Mexico; Burley, Idaho; Eugene, Oregon; Elko, Nevada; Yorba Linda, California; and Smithfield, Utah.
Temples are a vital part of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fulness. Ordinances of the temple fill our lives with power and strength available in no other way. We thank God for those blessings.


The Articles of Faith
#7
We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

     It's misty and wet when I look out the bedroom window first thing this morning. For breakfast I have 1/2 of the extra green burro that is left. James eats the other half. I love D&C 109 and 110, our "Come Follow Me" lesson this week. The prayer that Brother Joseph offered for the dedication of the Kirtland temple was amazing, and then in 110 the appearance of the Savior and then Moses, Elias, and Elijah. It doesn't get much better than this. As we were reading the promises that Joseph requested in 109 I felt the Spirit so strongly. One of my very favorite sections of the D&C. I loved listening to Hank Smith, John Bytheway, and Brent Rogers on "Follow Him." 

Every day when I work on my blog I download pictures I have taken and screenshots onto my computer. Today I decided to back them up onto a USB port. When I was finished only 80 photos were transferred. I knew I had more than that so I did some investigating. I noticed that the pictures I took myself were all transferred but screenshots were not, which means most of my pictures of Charlie and Scarlett. I did some research and figured out how to change my settings to include the PNG photos which were most of the screenshots. This time I got over 3,000 photos transferred. That's more like it! One thing I forgot to mention is that as I transfer the photos from my phone to the computer I erase them from the phone. I don't want to end up with 47,000 photos own my phone when I'm ready to get a new one.

While I was going through a box I had in the closet I find an 
that my cousin Carol Seay had sent me. In the envelope were lots of old photos, many of them photos of my mom as a young girl. They are a treasure and I'm going to put them in the album I made of her after her death. 

We had more veggie soup for lunch today. After lunch James went to town to get fittings to fix the gas line. When he gets back he determines that the fitting doesn't fit and he has to go back to town. After he leaves I wish I had gone with him. 

I paid my Amazon Store card but not before cancelling Acorn TV and Brit Box, not sure how those came to pass, and then I cancelled the card itself after paying it off.  I'm trying to simplify.

I tried to call a sister I am supposed to minister to but no answer and she does not have voice mail set up. She works at the pet store in Show Low and I guess I'm going to need to visit her there. Her 70th birthday is coming up on October 9th and I want to make her a cake.

James was successful in getting the gas line fixed so now we have hot water. Yay! He tries to blow out the kitchen faucet line with the compressor but it does not help with the pressure. 

I called Dawn to wish her a happy birthday. She and Lois, I can tell, are worried about James. I told her that he will not have to have as many treatments as we originally thought which helped her to feel better. 

Before going to bed this evening James went outside and blew his elk call. He said he had elk answer from three different directions.
