Jesus Christ, Rock

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

"Is There No Balm in Gilead?"

Elder Brent H. Nielson

Of the Presidency of the Seventy

The Savior's Atonement, which makes available both His redeeming and His enabling power, is the ultimate blessing that Jesus Christ offers to all. As we repent with full purpose of heart, the Savior cleanses us from sin. As we cheerfully submit our will to the Father, even in the most difficult of circumstances, the Savior will lift our burdens and make them light.

I love the book, "The Power of Everyday Missionaries." So many good ideas!

Adam texted me today and asked if he, Kaitlin, Chris, and Kyle could come on April 13th-16th. I told him that would be fine and put it on my calendar.

I spent most of the day preparing for dinner tonight for the missionaries. The first thing I did was bake a chocolate cake and soften the mint chocolate chip ice cream and put it in a cake pan. I put the two cake pans with cake and the ice cream pan into the freezer. I started the chili and then made some cornbread. 

The thing that took the longest was making frosting into the heavy whipping cream. It took so long that I had to call James in for help. He made the salad, and set the table. We were ready for Elder Goodwin and Elder Johnson when they came at 6 p.m. Elder Johnson is brand new here in Vernon. Elder Richards was transferred to north Scottsdale. Elder Johnson is from Magnolia, Texas and Elder Goodwin is from Inkam, Idaho.

We had a nice dinner and then I brought in the green cake for dessert.

I can't believe that I forgot to take a picture of these two nice looking, spiritual young men. Elder Goodwin shared a scripture and we had a nice discussion. Before leaving we gave the elders the rest of the Oreo cookies. 

Elder Goodwin had invited Tanna but she had her son and she said he was sick. We encouraged them to keep trying to invite her.

James jumped right in and did the dishes and put them away. I helped a little and then did some walking. We watched "A Honeymoon to Remember" before going to bed.
