D&C 109:61-64
61 But thou knowest that thou hast a great love for the children of Jacob, who have been scattered upon the mountains for a long time, in a cloudy and dark day.
62 We therefore ask thee to have mercy upon the children of Jacob, that Jerusalem from this hour, may begin to be redeemed;
63 And the yoke of bondage may begin to be broken off from the house of David;
64 And the children of Judah may begin to return to the lands which thou didst give to Abraham, their father.
I prayed this morning that I would feel like going to church today but I just wasn't up to it. James went by himself. It was the first week the DeWitt's were there since Collin's accident.
James took notes for me at fast & testimony meeting. I copied them in my Sunday journal. Here they are:
Bishop Hunsaker - the power of prayer and scripture study.
Johnny Wilhelm - I know the Church is true. I love my family.
Lorraine Vaught - Reject the adversaries influence. Choose to look forward. Jesus Christ is my Savior.
Chimi Tesarek - I try to keep the commandments and draw closer to Jesus Christ.
Lynn Wallace - I have a testimony of God and Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith. I love working in Primary.
Barbara Tignor - The gospel is true. It changes lives when you have it in your heart. A testimony of gratitude.
Jeanie Jameson - I believe in God and in His plan. I love the hymn, "Dearest Children, God Is Near You."
Alicia Hunsaker - Help to gather Israel. Colter baptized her and bishop in the temple.
Mel Wilhelm - Loves teaching Primary. Sister Wallace sings and teaches the children how to feel the Spirit.
Brother Brayman (new) - From Gilbert. Has been coming since Bishop Hunsaker was the Branch President. Testimony of the Savior's Atonement. The Savior did not revile against His tormentors. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
Cope Reynolds - Doesn't know if he can verbalize his testimony of the goodness of the Savior. Has been to 38 states and many wards and has never seen a ward like ours. Testimony of the gospel, the Savior, Joseph Smith, and President Nelson.
Sister Gilbert (James's favorite testimony) - I am a child of God. He has a plan for me to bring me home and He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to help us come home. He established His gospel to bring us home. He raised up a prophet, Joseph Smith. He prepared Joseph to come to Him and ask Him which Church he should join. Story of the children of Israel.
Autumn texted me two pictures of Scarlett today.
Such a cutie and a sweetie!
We didn't get any Happy Sabbath pictures of Charlie. I hope everyone is okay.
I studied Elder Soares conference talk and read from "Let God Prevail" during church. When James got home we rested.
Kathy Crane brought us some of her homemade chicken noodle soup and some cinnamon bread. Thank you Kathy, you are so kind.
Tom slept on the recliner with me this afternoon. James tried to get him to go outside, but he would not go until I went with him.
James and I listened to Neal A. Maxwell "Why Not Now" from the October 1974 General Conference. It's a classic. James made me make a copy for him.
James started reading my leather bound copy of "The Brothers Karamazov". He said Michael Wilcox mentioned it when he was on "Follow Him" and it peaked his interest. I started reading it years ago when Laura Bush said it was her favorite book, but I just couldn't get in to it.
No rain today, but it was in the 70's.
