"This Day"
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Pressing upon me "this day" is the importance of renewing our commitment to the Book of Mormon, which Joseph Smith called "the most correct of any book on earth."
Fasting is a commandment. (See D&C 88:76)
Up at 4:39. Roast on, scriptures and my prayer journal.
James threw me a curve ball by asking me to give him a haircut this morning. I also had to iron his shirt. These are not things I want to do on Sunday morning. I need to repent and do better.
It was 8:50 when we left for church. We got there just before it was time to start. Ruth Wallace gave me two more temple names to do. I still have two of Maxine's.
"How Firm a Foundation"
Invocation - Lindsay Shaw
Bishop conducted sacrament meeting. Alicia led the music and Pierce played the organ. I didn't see Pierce's wife today. I hope she is doing okay. Here are the people who bore their testimonies in our ward today:
Bishop Hunsaker - For the Strength of Youth is so inspirational! Expressed gratitude and the importance of prayer, scriptures, the sacrament and the temple
Lorraine Vaught - Thankful for the Lord's hand in all of the blessings she has in her life. Expressed her testimony of the power of prayer.
Rosie Lauritzen - She has been on a two year journey of daily scripture study. She has more peace in her life. This new habit has made such a difference! The words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.
Sister visitor - Loves the kindness she finds in this ward. Did I choose this time to be born? How can I be a strength and a help to others? The gospel gives me strength. The Atonement is a gift. Worried about her grandchildren.
Dagny Tesarek (child) She knows the Church is true and she knows that Heavenly Father loves all of us.
Jeanie Jameson - Grateful for the strength of this ward. Told the story of St. Patrick who was born in Scotland to a religious family. Kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave in Ireland. He recited scriptures he learned in his youth and decided he wanted to devote his life to Jesus Christ. He made it home to Scotland to see his parents and then had a dream that he needed to go back to Ireland to spread the word of God. In Ireland he used a bonfire to teach about the fire of God within us. He taught about the true Christian God. When Patrick died, there was not one heathen left in Ireland.
Barbara Sayer - Joseph Smith is a prophet. We have a Mother and a Father in heaven who loves us. Christ is our older brother and Creator of many worlds.
Christy Bowen (child)
Sean Bowen - I know it's true.
"If You Could Hie Kolob"
Benediction - Alicia Hunsaker - prayed for the Beckham's and I found out later that their daughter Michelle has stage 4 cancer.
Sunday School. Daniel 1-6. "There Is No Other God." Brother Applegate titled the lesson, "God Is the Defender of My Rights."
Phrase: "But if not......"
Jace Applegate was home for a visit. I welcomed him and gave him a hug. He was supposed to go on a mission three years ago but he never went.
The Hipps's are now members of our ward. Sister Hipps is probably my age. She said she was tired of the heat and so looking forward to wearing sweaters.
When James and I got home we broke out fast. The roast wasn't quite done so we had pie instead. Each of us had two pieces. I layed down to take a nap. When I got up I had some roast and veggies. So did James. This is the roast the MacArthur's gave us. It was good but there was a little too much fat marbled through it. The fat had a funny flavor. The meat came from Chelsea's sister's ranch in Utah.
James went to visit the Peeler's this afternoon. He was going to visit the Snyder's but Cody was in Santan Valley. I guess he got a job down there and they will be leaving soon. I am going to miss them. His wife LeeAnn was one of my favorite Young Women.
I read Brother Corbitt's talk again and did some underlining. I wished Evan a happy birthday. I talked to Stacy and told her I would like to come down on Wednesday and go to the temple with her. She liked the idea.
I indexed Boston tax records, or I should say I reviewed them, for an hour this evening. They went quickly and I did over a hundred names. It made James happy.
I began listening to "Book of Mormon Central's" lesson on Hosea and Joel. It was very good and I look forward to finishing it tomorrow. No TV today.
Happy Sweet 16 Evan!
in his ward.
