D&C 109:33-36
33 Break if off, O Lord; break it off from the necks of thy servants, by thy power, that we may rise up in the midst of this generation and do thy work.
34 O Jehovah, have mercy upon this people, and as all man sin, forgive the transgressions of thy people, and let them be blotted out forever.
35 Let the anointing of thy ministers be sealed upon them with power from on high.
36 Let it be fulfilled upon them, as upon those on the day of Pentecost; let the gift of tongues be poured out upon thy people, even cloven tongues as of fire, and the interpretation thereof.
Happy Father's Day! I was no prepared because I honestly thought it was next week.
Preston Flake from our ward and Dennis Newmeyer from the stake high council were the speakers in our sacrament meeting today.
Brother Flake - Would this be an appropriate time to fake a heart attack? David A. Bednar, "Heed Them Not". We will heed not what the wicked will say, but the Lord alone we will obey. Childrens' storybook, "You Are Special." The world distracts and pits people against each other. Eliminate negativity. Heed not. Sources of negativity: Satan, others, self. Brother Flake deals with depression which involves his inner dialogue. Be mindful of our thoughts. Prayer and scripture study are very important. Heavenly Father loves you. His love transcends our imperfections. Heed not . . . negative influences. I have a testimony . . .
Brother Newmeyer - Moved to Lakeside two years ago. We knew him in Chandler. He was a member of our stake. He works from home for Intel. Listen to the Spirit. Blessed to have a Heavenly Father. President Beeler's letter - sacred times and holy places. Connect and serve the one - President Nelson. Any two people can do anything as long as one of them is the Lord. Who am I? Who can I become? Because of Christ we know who we are. I am a child of God. Our true identity. We are children of a Heavenly Father who loves us.
Jimmy Applegate's lesson was really good today. We discussed the questions in Alma 5. One of the best parts of the lesson was Jimmy's testimony at the end.
Yesterday I made whole wheat pancakes for James but I forgot to put the walnuts and pecans in. I had some batter left, chopped up some nuts and made some pancakes for our lunch. I also cut up some fresh strawberries. The nuts made all of the difference in the pancakes. James said I couldn't have fixed anything he would have liked better. After lunch, we took naps.
This afternoon after our naps we went for a drive. I wanted to go to Big Lake but James said it was too far. Jared wants to FaceTime around 6 p.m. our time and it was already 4 o'clock. We drove from Vernon to McNary on the Vernon-McNary road through the pines. It was a nice drive although it was a dirt road. When we got to McNary we turned and went through Pinetop and Lakeside, turning on Penrod Rd. to go back to Vernon.
We had a nice visit with Jared, Kacey, and Charlie. The excitement at their house is Tanner's baby Mason. Tanner is doing well. Charlie has been sick today and wasn't able to go to church. She had a stomach bug just like grandpa did earlier in the week.
Two temples were dedicated today. The Salta, Argentina was dedicated by Elder D. Todd Christofferson and the Layton, Utah was dedicated by Elder David A. Bednar.
