Jesus Christ, Types of, in Anticipation
Alma 37:45
And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.
Book of Mormon
Alma 42:26-43:14

"Abide in Me, and I in You; Therefore Walk with Me" Elder David A. Bednar
Sue Young, Rebecca McCamy, and Lillian Finegan were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. Lillian is the granddaughter of Sue and the daughter of Rebecca and she was the youth speaker.
Sue spoke next, and then Rebecca, and Abigail Jameson was the special musical number. She sang, "Their is Peace in Christ." She is on of our young women. It was an all sister show according to brother Skousen.
Lillian Finegan - Faith comes before the miracle. Promptings from God can help us be the answer to someone else's prayer. Pray for promptings.
Sue Young - Jean B. Bingham's talk, "Covenants with God Strengthen, Protect, and Prepare Us for Eternal Glory", April 2022 General Conference.
Covenants keep us safe and prepare us to meet Jesus Christ.
Keeping our covenants allows the Savior's power to cleanse us as we learn through experience.
Fulfill everyday tasks in a "higher and holier" way.
We need to live the gospel in all of our interactions.
Care for those in need by ministering, expressing love through simple service, share the "good news", work to unite families on both sides of the veil.
President Russell M. Nelson - "Each adult temple patron will wear the sacred garment of the priesthood, which...reminds us... to walk on the covenant path each day in a higher and holier way.
Abigail Jameson - "There is Peace in Christ"
Rebecca McCamy - Henry B. Eyring, "He Goes Before Us", April 2020 General Conference.
Rebecca told the story of her struggles after a divorce, trying to care for four children under six.
She went back to church because she needed help.
Bishop's family gave her so much help.
Started nursing program. Got a scholarship.
Graduated with honors with zero expenses.
Received a blessing that said, "You knew this was going to be your life."
President Eyring - "He goes before us. He knows the future perfectly. He invites you to the work. He joins you in it. He has in place a plan for your service. And even as you sacrifice, you will feel joy as you help others prepare for His coming."
Second Hour - Preparedness by Cope Reynolds and Bishop Hunsaker.
D&C 38:30 - ...if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.
Matt. 25:13 - Watch therefore because you know not the day or the hour the Son of Man cometh.
Keep your lamps full.
Ward Emergency Training Manual - First Aid, Disasters, Disaster Walk Thru, Drills, Communication chain, Websites, Resources, 72 Hour Kit. Helping others helps you.
Ward Emergency Plan - What to do
The ward is divided in sector. We are in sector 8. Each block and sector will have a captain.
Faith without works is dead. Believe and act.
Bishop Hunsaker: "The Spirit is moving me in this direction. I am doing it because I love you."
It was raining when we got out of church. Stefani and Sean Hunsaker gave the prayers in sacrament meeting and they both prayed for rain. Their prayers were answered!
When we got home I had just changed my clothes when the doorbell rang. It was our ministering brothers. I hurried and put the blouse I wore to church back on and went with my black sweats out to meet them. James already had them seated in the TV room.
Our new ministering brothers are Jimmie Applegate and Richard Miller. We had a nice visit with both of them. It felt good to have ministering brothers who actually come and visit!
James cooked me a burger for lunch and then it was nap time.
Jared went on a Razr ride this afternoon. I think he really likes it here.
This afternoon I worked on my blog and watched "Don't Miss This."
This is Emily's last week and Grace's first. They covered Acts 22-28, all the things you don't want to miss.
Here are some notes I took while reading my scriptures today.
Book of Mormon - Alma had to teach Corianton pure doctrine because of a flawed belief system which led to sin.
In the end all of Alma's sons were men of God.
New Testament - Paul travels from Ephesus to Jerusalem, stopping along the way.
Unity - Unity requires effort. It develops when we cultivate the love of God in our hearts and we focus on our eternal destiny.
We are united by our common, primary identity as children of God and our commitment to the truths of the restored gospel. In turn, our love of God and our discipleship of Jesus Christ generate genuine concern for others.
The Word - Life, mission and word of Jesus Christ.
