Jesus Christ, Types of, in Anticipation
Jacob 4:5
Behold, they believed in Christ and worshiped the Father in his name, and also we worship the Father in his name. And for this intent we keep the law of Moses, it pointing our souls to him; and for this cause it is sanctified unto us for righteousness, even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which is a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son.
Book of Mormon
Alma 40:1-14
Come Follow Me
Acts 16-21 I can declare the gospel in all circumstances.

I got a text from my sister-in-law Cathi. It was a jury notice for Maricopa county. I am to report on August 28th. I got online today and told them I had moved 200 miles away and I was excused. I made this sound easier than it really was. I did have to download my drivers license which actually expires on my birthday and reminded me of something else I need to do.
I got a text from one of my ministering sisters, Stefani Hunsaker. She wants to come and see me. I told her I wasn't home until next week and she scheduled a visit next Thursday.
Report from the home front. James had to chase cows away and when he saddled up Luna Jared asked if he could ride her. When he got on she wouldn't do anything, she just kept walking back to the corral. I told James not to let that be the end of it but give him another chance until he gets her to do what he wants.
James went in to to town to get the materials he ordered for the deck only to find that they sold it to someone else. He was pretty upset and told them what he thought. They apologized and gave him some 16 foot boards instead of 20 foot which will take a little longer to put down. Because he had the trailer he didn't go to the grocery store like I had hoped he would. When he hired Jared he offered him room and board too.
As I walk around my room in a loop I pass a mirror in the bathroom. I see that my hair is thinning and my waistline is expanding. I've decided to make some changes. I'm going to try the intermittent fasting that worked for Stacy. Today I didn't eat until 9 and I stopped at 5. I hope I can stick with it this time.
There are some other changes I need to make to but this is going to be my main focus right now.
There was a little rain, lightening, and a dust storm tonight so they had to close the pool. I wouldn't have known but I received a text. It is so nice and cool in my "condo" sometimes I have to turn the AC off.
After reading about the missionary travels of Paul and listened to a talk by Elder Uchtdorf about missionary work. Here are some suggestions he makes:
1. Draw close to God.
2. Fill your heart with love for others.
3. Strive to walk the path of discipleship.
4. Share what is in you heart.
5. Stand as a witness. Simple conversations in person & online.
6. Invite others to come and see, help, and stay. Do so with love and patience.
7. Trust the Lord to work his miracles.
I watched the movie, "The Christmas Ornament" starring Cameron Mattison and Kellie Martin.
