The Name Of The Church Is Not Negotiable
Elder Neil L. Andersen
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The influence of the restored Church of Jesus Christ will not only be upon those who are members of the Church. Because of the heavenly manifestations in our day, because of the sacred scripture restored to the earth and the powerful gift of the Holy Ghost, we will be a shining light on the hill as the somber shades of disbelief in Jesus Christ darken the world. Although many may allow the world to cloud their faith in the Redeemer, we will "not be moved out of our place."

I had a terrible coughing spell during the night which convinced me that I would not be attending my meetings today. James attended sacrament meeting but not the 2nd hour. I could not get the meeting on Zoom so I took a nap. I miss not going to church.
James said that Rosa and Dave Westbrook were supposed to speak in sacrament meeting but they were sick so Joe and Corrina filled in for them. Macy was the youth speaker but she was sick too so Joely took her place. Here are some notes that James took.
Sister Pam Wood was called as a ward missionary specifically assigned to maintain the missionary meal calendar.
Speaker: Joely Westbrook - Seeing God's hand in your life. Lifting others. Moses 1-2
Speaker: Bo Westbrook - How the scriptures help me when I am discouraged. Scriptures are a supplement in my life.
Speaker: Corrina Westbrook - "Keep the Change" by Becky Craven
Through Jesus Christ we are given a chance to make lasting changes. Changes to follow Jesus Christ. Keep the change. Christ has given us a desire for change. As we repent and change our hearts, our desire increases to change and keep those changes in our life. Scriptures help us keep the perspective to apply the Atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives. As we put forth the effort the Holy Ghost can help us make the changes and keep those changes.
Speaker: Joe Westbrook - Gratitude. Henry B. Eyring. Love your enemy. "Am I Not My Own Worst Enemy". We chose to be tested and to be proven. We must grow in experience and stature to qualify to live in His presence. The Lord foresaw our time. The greatest blessing is the change of our natures. As we lift others burdens we are strengthened. We will be tried and tested but we can endure.
We received a care package on our front porch this morning from my friend Pam. Pastries, salad and N95 masks. Her thoughtfulness never ceases to amaze me. I am so grateful for her friendship.
I got a call today from another member of our ward who missed me today and heard I was sick, Paula Johnson. She wanted to know if there was anything she could do for me. I told her no, but I appreciated so much her call. It made me feel good to know that someone missed me and cared enough to check on me.
Trina texted me and ask if they could come up on March 6th during spring break. I told her that would be great and then asked if we could stay with them next Monday night. Of course we can.
I am hoping I feel better tomorrow because I am getting tired of lying around. Hopefully I am over the worst of it.
