A Living Prophet For The Latter Days

Elder Allen D. Haynie

Of the Seventy

Current conditions in the world have caused some to panic. As God's covenant children, we do not need to chase after this or that to know how to navigate through these troubled times. We do not need to fear. The doctrine and principles that we must follow to survive spiritually and endure physically are found in the words of a living prophet. that is why President M. Russell Ballard declared that "it is no small thing . . . to have a prophet of God in our midst.

My dizziness is gone and I am feeling much better today. I am still offering prayers throughout the day for Jared. 

After prayer and scriptures I watched Inklings. Emily was on today and we discussed Elder Christensen's talk, "There Can Be Nothing So Exquisite and Sweet as Was My Joy."

James's knee and back bother him everyday. He has so much he wants to do but struggles to do it. 

James sealed up the log where the bees built their hive in the back. Now he has to take care of the bees in the front. He says there are more in the front than there were in the back.

Tonight we had grilled steak, asparagus, rolls, and mashed potatoes. Rowan loves mashed potatoes and he says that mine and the best. I'm glad that I could make something that he really likes. Rowan leaves on Saturday morning. James is meeting someone at the Peeler's in Globe at 8 a.m. about some tile work and Trina is going to meet them there. 

I came across the following quote today:

"Pure love is the true sign of every true disciple of Jesus Christ. ... In the midst of His greatest pain, in the garden that night, He was the one who needed help, suffering in a way that we cannot even imagine or comprehend. But in the end, He forgot about Himself and prayed for us until He paid the full price. How was He able to do it? Because of His pure love for the Father, who sent Him, and for us." 

-Elder Massimo De Feo.
