The Lord Jesus Christ Teaches Us to Minister
Elder Juan A. Uceda
Of the Seventy
"With our Savior's help, we can love His precious sheep and minister to them as He would."
Up at 4. James thinks I should sleep in until 5 but in order to get in two hours of gospel study before 7 I have to get up at 4. I love the quiet. It is a time to ponder and pray.
James and I went to town this morning in the truck. Our first stop was Sonic for lunch, then on to Walmart. James dropped me off while he went to Home Depot to look for a laser. They didn't have any so he went to Circle K to wash his truck and get gas. He came back to Walmart and helped me check out then we headed to Tractor Supply where James went in and got horse feed.
We listened to our book on the way home. We stopped at Rosa's in Vernon for tamales. James took the $20 I got from Walmart to pay Rosa. When we got home he helped me put things away and we both had a tamale. They are good. It was time for James to get ready for his stake leadership meeting at 3 o'clock at the stake center.
He left in the truck, a little late, 2:30 for the stake center which is about 40 minutes away. It's time for me to have some rest and relaxation.
At 5:00 I left for the stake center for the adult session of our stake conference. James called me and asked me to bring his spray bottle he used to soothe his throat but I had already left. I told him I had cough drops. I told him to go get us something to eat, which he did.
When I got to the stake center in Lakeside I parked next to James and got in the truck with him. He handed me a soft taco which I gobbled up while James at most of the bean burro he got me. I told him to save me some and I would have it for breakfast tomorrow.
At 5:55 we walked into the stake center sitting back in the overflow behind the Vernon row, saying high to Cheryl Sedig, and the Halcomb's who were on the back row in the chapel.
The visiting authority is Elder Brock Hyatt of the Seventy. The meeting tonight went something like this:
Special Musical Number:
Young People, President Alder's daughter and a young man. Another young man playing the violin. "Shalom" It was beautiful.
Brother Riley from the Fort Apache Branch:
Baptized in 2017. He said he has been a follower of Christ all of his life. When he was a non-member in the hospital the elders gave him a blessing. He said he felt the Holy Ghost from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. He came to a point where he knew "it was time" to be baptized. Being a member is wonderful. Without Heavenly Father I don't think I would be alive today. I love my beautiful wife. She has helped me so much.
Lannie Gillespie Primary President in the Vernon Ward - Increase faith of the rising generation. 1) Look for spiritual experiences in our lives, 2) Acknowledge faith, now matter how small 3) What can the Savior do with a small amount of faith. He takes what we have and adds to it. (Feeding the 5,000) Alma 32:23
Never underestimate the faith of little children.
President Alder Family plays Alexa Jeopardy.
Revelation 1:8 - I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Christ is the answer to every problem. Peter walking on the water. Do we turn to Christ when we have problems?
Matt 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Christ can cleanse, heal, restore, identify, strengthen and transform us.
Sis Smith from the Scottsdale Mission I love learning about Jesus.
Matt 22:36 - 40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
We have opportunities to love as Jesus loved every day. Love - Share - Invite. Our ancestors pray for their posterity to join the Church so they can do their temple work.
President Smith of the Scottsdale Mission Thank you for caring for our missionaries. Through Jesus Christ we are saved from sin and death. We need to share this with others.

Elder Brock Hyatt You can trust the priesthood keys that President Beeler holds. He receives revelation for this stake.
The answer is always Jesus. Testify of the Savior. Elder Hyatt and his wife fasted and prayed for someone to share the gospel with. He asked Brother Riley to come up and share how his life has changed since joining the Church. He then asked Brother Riley what goals he has for the future regarding the Church. Brother Riley said he wants to get his patriarchal blessing and then wants to go to the temple.
Elder Hyatt then calls Sister Riley up from the audience. She is an Apache woman and is very articulate in English. She shared her conversion story as well as her husbands. She says she has been waiting for years for him to come to the temple with her. I told James I enjoyed her comments as much as anyone else's so far in the meeting. As soon as I said that Elder Hyatt said, "You've all just heard the sermon for the evening." Obviously I agreed.
Elder Hyatt finishes his talk with comments about 3 Nephi 17:7, 9
Every one, not everyone. One by one. That's the way the Lord works.
Listen to the Holy Ghost and receive revelation.
