And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of min Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.

When To Receive Your Patriarchal Blessing
Elder Kazuhiko Yamashita
Of the Seventy
Your patriarchal blessing is a message from your Heavenly Father and will likely include promises and inspired counsel to guide you throughout your life. A patriarchal blessing is not going to map out your life or answer all your questions. If it doesn't mention an important life event, do not take that to mean you won't have to opportunity. Likewise, there is no guarantee everything in your blessing will come to pass in this life. A patriarchal blessing is eternal, and if you live worthy, promises that are not fulfilled in this life will be granted in the next.
The bishop is out of town in New Mexico with family, Brother Allen is in Canada and Brother Skousen has Covid. Chuck was asked to conduct sacrament meeting. James was asked to sit by him on the stand. It reminded me of when he was the bishop.
Sue Hubble wasn't here today. Bridget Jordan sat by me. We sat in front of Michelle Tesarek and when Bridget asked if the youth went to the temple once a month, I referred her to Michelle.
Pam Wood is back in town and she caught me before sacrament meeting and asked me if I was up to feeding the missionaries. I told her yes and signed up for Thursday, June 22 before I realized that was the Thursday before my Relief Society lesson. I well, I guess I can handle to assignments in one week.
Today was high council Sunday. Aaron Webb was our high councilman speaker and Melinda Gardner who is the second counselor in the stake Young Women's presidency was his partner. Sister Gardner said that they are cousins.
Here are some notes I took during Sister Gardner's talk:
The youth are amazing. I interact with them at church and as a teacher at school They aren't perfect but they are good. They invite others to church. Charity, the pure love of Christ is essential in dealing with conflict. We can't control others but we can control ourselves to end conflict. Matthew 22:37-40: 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. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
When in a conflict, take away the fuel, cease to be contentious. The gospel of Jesus Christ is what is needed in this contentious world.
"It is only in and through our individual loyalty to and love of Jesus Christ that we can hope to be one."
Aaron Webb
Overcome contention through charity, the pure love of Christ. "Contention never leads to inspired solutions. You have your agency to choose contention or reconciliation. I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always." - RMN
Elder Ulisses Soares: "As we strive to develop attributes like the Savior's we can become instruments of His peace in the world. As disciples of the Prince of Peace, we have been instructed to live with hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another."
We had a good discussion in Sunday School. My favorite part of the reading material this week was Matthew 21:22 - And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
After Sunday School I spoke with Donna Peeler about her cancer surgery on June 2nd at St. Joseph's hospital in Phoenix. I asked if there was anything we could do for her or for her husband Owen. She said no. I want to do something. She is such a dear friend.
James made us some lunch when we got home, potstickers, asparagus and a salad. Afterwards we took naps.
Autumn finally received her birthday card. I guess Palmer picked it up from Kacey last night when he went to get Scarlett and forgot to give it to Autumn until today.

James and I worked on the cupcake puzzle this afternoon and evening. I am deciding that this is not a good Sunday activity for me because it keeps me from my blog, from indexing and from doing other important Sabbath activities. From now on, no Sunday puzzles.
I did listen to Dave and Emily on "Don't Miss This."
