"The covenants and accompanying ordinances of the temple are the only way to put the Atonement of Jesus Christ into full practice in our lives and receive the greatest blessings of eternity."
I got up at 5 a.m. I heard Jared leave for Green's Peak on the Razr.
After our morning prayer, James left for ward council. Chuck asked him to go because Chuck and Kathy have company, their daughter, granddaughter and great grandson. Oh yes, and probably their son-in-law.
My friend Sue Hubble brought her granddaughters, Kaitlynn who is six and Sky who is four to church with her. These are her daughters children. Her daughter passed away recently. Sue shares the girls with their dad who has them in Show Low during the week because they go to school. Sue has them on Thursday - Sunday. She loves the girls, but she is exhausted!
Zemira Wilhelm was the youth speaker today. I love Zemira and I thought he did a great job. Tim and Alana Bartels were the main speakers and both of them did a good job.
Alana Bartels - "Wholehearted" by Michelle Craig. 1) Keep covenants even when it isn't easy. 2) We can act in faith. 3) We can be wholehearted and joyful in our devotion, the widows mite, she gave her all. Jesus doesn't see our lack as failure.
Tim Bartels - Told about living in Nauvoo and how it gave them strength in hard times. Talked about the faith of the Nauvoo pioneers. Trail of Tears changed to Trail of Hope by President Hinckley. We are here on the earth to prove our worthiness and to learn to trust in the Lord. Jesus Christ is the hope and light of the world. We must have a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Life doesn't come without trials. Question what you hear in the world and put an exclamation mark after what you hear from the Prophet. Our reward for remaining faithful in spite of our trials will be more than we can imagine or deserve.
The youth sang a song about the Savior. It was beautiful. We have more youth than we have ever had.
Brother Bartels was called as the new Elder's Quorum counselor. James was very happy as he suggested his name.
We had burgers/patty melts for lunch. Quite delicious. Afterwards we took naps.
James helped me marinate steak, onions, and peppers. I am making steak fajitas for dinner. James helped me and then he made some limeade with the leftover limes we had.
We took some limeade and went and visited the Tignor's, Barbara and T-Bo. James is their ministering brother. They both liked the limeade, especially Barbara. I told her about getting fresh limeades after school at the Show Low Drugstore where the Dominoes Pizza is now. We stayed about an hour and a half. T-Bo told us his conversion story which we were grateful to hear. It helps us understand him more. We are going to the temple with them on Wednesday. It will be T-Bo's second time and he wants James to be with him to help him. It was raining a little when we got outside.
Jared Ammon was waiting for us when we got home. We immediately began fixing dinner. James cooked the steak and veggies while I heated up flour and corn tortillas. The fajitas were delicious. The guacamole I bought was too hot though.
James did the dishes and then we went in the bedroom where I worked on my blog and listened to "Teaching with Power."
I got an email from our stake president, President Beeler about next week's stake conference. He wants us to ponder these two questions this week in preparation for the conference:
1.) How do I use sacrament meeting to further my covenant relationship with the Savior?
2.) What teachings about the sacrament have been meaningful in my discipleship?
