Jesus Christ, Resurrection

Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 9:31-49
"Come Follow Me"
Genesis 22:1-19 Abrahams' willingness to sacrifice. Isaac is a similitude of God and His Son.

"Deepening Our Conversion To Jesus Christ"
Elder Arnulfo Valenzuela
Of the Seventy
Delighting in the scriptures is more than hungering and thirsting for knowledge. Nephi experienced great joy during his life. However, he also faced difficulties and sadness (see 2 Nephi 4:12-13). "Nevertheless," he said, "I know in whom I have trusted" (2 Nephi 4:19). As we study the scriptures, we will better understand God's plan of salvation and exaltation, and we will trust in the promises that He has made to us in the scriptures, as well as in the promises and blessings of modern prophets.
"Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness
Bradley R. Wilcox
Second Counselor in the Young Men General Presidency
Elder D. Todd Christofferson has counseled: "To deal with something very big, we may need to work at it in small, daily bites. . . . Incorporating new and wholesome habits into our character or overcoming bad habits or addictions most often means an effort today followed by another tomorrow and then another, perhaps for many days, even months and years. . . .But we can do it because we can appeal to God . . . for the help we need each day."

Noah's Ark
Genesis 6-11; Moses 8
In what ways does living the gospel of Jesus Christ protect our families during times of corruption and violence - just as the ark protected Noah and his family?
One of the things I like about Instagram and Facebook is that it helps me know what friends and family are doing. Today on Facebook there was a picture of Nathan Chubbs signing up to join the Navy. We remember Nathan as a Primary child and then as a very Young Man. His dad is very proud of him.
Today I listened and watched "Teaching with Power" with Ben Wilcox and I finished listening to Brother Halverson on "Unshaken Saints." Brother Halverson's presentation was four hours long so that was quite an accomplishment.
Armando will not be ready for the inspection this afternoon on the Rademeyer hangar job in Case Grande. He says he will be ready on the 28th for both the footings and the floor, and I think James was somewhat satisfied with that.
One of my assignments for Relief Society is to ask Tanna is she is interested in learning more about the gospel. I asked and she said, yes, she was. This is exciting news. James says he will talk to Brother Anderson, the ward mission leader. Tamara was excited when I told her. Also, Sister Cyndi Pronger said she would be happy to be a ministering sister.
This afternoon I went upstairs and made sure everything was clean and ready for company. It didn't take long. There wasn't much to do. The beds already have clean sheets on them and no one has been up there since that last week of December when Jared's family was here. Downstairs I had James take the battery out of the smoke detector because it kept beeping and then had him put away the ladder. There are still some Christmas things out but they are not in the way. We are officially ready for company.
James fixed noodles and veggies for dinner. Quite yummy.
I studied the first chapter of "The Cleansing of America" and the nine things that will happen before the Second Coming. I also ran off a recipe for an ice cream cake. Sheri, Evan, and Rowan got her somewhere between 9:30 and 10. Sheri went to the Gilbert temple with Nancy Van Vleet this afternoon at 3 so she didn't leave to come up here until after 5:30 and then they stopped at Safeway in Show Low.
James, Sheri, and I talked about Abraham calling Sarah his sister and why that was not a lie considering their culture. I read from my commentary about Sarah being Haran's daughter and Abraham's niece. Technically she could be called his sister.
We went to bed around 11:30.
