"The Name of The Church Is Not Negotiable"
Elder Neil L. Andersen
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
President Nelson spoke in general conference:
"The Lord impressed upon my mind the importance of the name He decreed for His Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints....It was the Savior Himself who said, 'For thus shall my church be called.'" Then President Nelson repeated, "The name of the Church is not negotiable."
"Make Time For The Lord"
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
My dear brothers and sisters, for two days we have been well taught by servants of the Lord who have sought diligently to know what He would have them say.
We have been given our charge for the next six months. Now the question is, how will we be different because of what we have heard
and felt?
I was up at 4 am. James called the bank around 7. I tried sending Armando's money again and it finally went through.
James helped me so much today. He hung our grandkids stockings from the mantle and put the mantle garland on the mantle. He also carried other decorations up from the basement. He worked in the kitchen before dinner and afterwards he did the dishes. He also went to the Peeler's to borrow their chimney sweep. He put off cleaning the chimney until another day so he could help me.
Elders Baldwin and Wansgard and Tanna arrived around 6 p.m.
I gave the blessing on the food. First we ate our salad and rolls and then everyone filled their plates buffet style with roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
I tried to make conversation with Tanna. The missionaries were not too talkative. We had ice cream sundaes for dessert. Afterwards Elder Wansgard shared a message around peace. The elders left shortly after this message. Tanna stayed longer and while James was doing the dishes I visited with Tanna. She said she wanted Sean Hunsaker to bless Bradley because he has blessed and baptized other members of her family, including herself. We gave her some leftover food to take home with her. We should have done the same with the missionaries as we had plenty of food left.
After Tanna left I told James I was a little disappointed with the elders because they didn't talk more to Tanna. He reminded me that they were both pretty "green." Elder Baldwin has only been out about four weeks and Elder Wansgard four months. I invited Tanna to come and sit with us at church and she said she would.
After dinner I walked and finished up a Christmas movie and then went to bed. Again, I forgot to take pictures of the elders. Will I ever remember?
