"The Power of Spiritual Momentum"
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
None of us can control nations or the actions of others or even members of our own families. But we can control ourselves. My call today, dear brothers and sisters, is to end conflicts that are raging in your heart, your home, and your life. Bury any and all inclinations to hurt others - whether those inclinations be a temper, a sharp tongue, or a resentment for someone who has hurt you. The Savior commanded us to turn the other cheek, to love our enemies, and to pray for those who despitefully use us.
I got up at 6:00 this morning. I have four plaques to make before going to church so I started right after saying my prayers. I had one made and made three more and put them in frames. I also wrote notes to each girl that went something like this:
Congratulations!
We are so proud of you!
Now you have wings to fly!
(There is a butterfly on the
front of the card).
When I got to church I realized something I forgot. I forgot it is Zemira Wilhelm's birthday and I left his card and gift at home. I told his mom we would bring it buy later this afternoon.
Sue Hubble sat by us again. This time she did not have her granddaughters. Her daughter and son-in-law are at home with them.
Lannie and Curt Gillespie were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. Pierce played the organ again this week. Here are some notes I took from their talks:
Lannie - Covenant - God trying to have a relationship with His children. One of my favorite scriptures is Mosiah 18:8-11, which is the baptismal covenant. "As we choose to make covenants and keep them, we will be blessed with more happiness in this life and a glorious eternal life to come." What is my anchor? How secure is that anchor? We have no idea how far He can take us. Rough draft vs. Final. (Based on Sister Bingham's talk about covenants).
Curt - Not our will, but His be done. President Eyring's talk, "Steady in the Storm." Curt said this talk was made for him. We live in increasing perilous times. If we stand steady in the storms we face, we will have peace in our hearts. Forces of wickedness are everywhere. We must honor and keep our covenants. There is hope in the promises of God. Helaman 5:12 - Build on a sure foundation, the Rock and you cannot fall. Curt had an experience on January 3rd this year with a cow that taught him a lesson: "I need a course correction so I can touch the gate." There are storms coming and I need to be prepared. Mosiah 3:19 - Submissive, meek, humble, full of love, willing to submit to all things the Father sees fit to inflict upon me. He will meet us where we are. Curt bore a powerful testimony, I think it's the first time I've heard him bear his testimony.
I conducted Relief Society and recognized the graduating young women, even though none of them were there.
Rosie Lauritzen led our discussion today based on these two conference talks: "Fear Not: Believe Only" by Elder Holland, and "He Is Risen with Healing in His Wings" by Elder Patrick Kearon.
Rosie always does a great job of bringing the Spirit. We had a good discussion with lots of participation.
When Relief Society was over delivered graduation gifts to Marci Westbrook, Tanna's mom, and Alicia Hunsaker, Haley's mom. James and I drove to the Judd's and delivered Cleo and Allie's gifts. We went home and I wrapped a cookie for Zemira and we signed his card and put a little money in it and then went to the Wilhelm's to deliver it. Zemira was at the church having an interview with the bishop so James gave his cookie and card to Ruthie. Zemira is 16 today. He is one of my favorite Wilhelm's because I had him in Primary for two years.
We had a relaxing Sunday afternoon and evening, working on indexing and blogging. No T.V.

Amy Reynolds is a delightful member of our ward
who recently had to move out of the house they
were renting. They moved into another home temporarily
because the rent was too high for them.
Someone from our ward (Pierce Goodman) bought
the house and is renting it to them at a fair price.
