Jesus Christ, Second Coming

D&C 34:6

To lift up your voice as with the sound of a trump, both long and loud, and cry repentance unto a crooked and perverse generation, preparing the way of the Lord for his second coming.

Book of Mormon

Alma 36:1-24

3 And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.

"Come Follow Me"

The first thing we can do in missionary work is love as Christ loved.

Our hearts are heavy with the human suffering and tensions that we see throughout the world during these tumultuous times. However, we can be also inspired by the outpouring of compassion and humanitarianism that has been demonstrated by people everywhere through their efforts to reach out to the marginalized - those displaced from their homes, separated from their families, or experiencing other forms of sorrow and despair.

James and Rowan left for the Thompson's this morning. Later, James comes home, takes a nap, and then leaves to see Dr. Memon in Globe where the doctor praises him for how good he is doing. He tells him to keep doing whatever it is he is doing to take care of his health.

Kim and Brian were here when Rowan got home from work.  They had an extra cheeseburger and they gave it to him before he goes upstairs to hibernate. I cooked and pizza and made cookies for him because I knew we would be gone tonight to clean the temple. 

James went grocery shopping for me on the way home from the doctors. Kim wants to make the Orange Almond Poppyseed cake of Courtney's and I needed him to get some oranges. 

James and I left a little before six to pick up Tamara Applegate at the church. We are giving her a ride to the temple which our ward is assigned to clean tonight. 

The service missionaries in charge of the cleaning are amazed at how many people we had there to clean. There were 26 of us. Here is hte list:

Richard & Cress Miller, Barbara Bartels, Pierce Goodman, Rick and Rosie Lauritzen, Greg and Kim Anderson, Wes and Teresa Smith, Cody and LeeAnn Snyder, Fred and Barbara Klug, Bishop, and Alicia Hunsaker and a friend, Todd and Jessica Crane, Tamara Applegate, Lorraine Vaught, Virgil Cooper, Cheryl and Ralph Sedig, and James and I.  Whew! What a turnout! I love our ward!

President Seaman was there and I shook his hand and gave Kim a hug.

When we returned home Kim and Brian were in the family room watching TV. There was no sign of Rowan so we had family prayer without him. Today was Chandler's first day of school. Joshua and Evan are the only ones left in Chandler schools. They go to Chandler High and they both are sophomores. They have several classes together, including seminary.

I barely got 10,000 steps today.
