"We can help others progress in their journey to receive God's blessings."
Both of my knees hurt so much this morning that I don't think I am going anywhere. James went to church alone. While James is gone Michael and Numira leave for home. Michael comes in to say goodbye to me. I hug him and ask him to please take a selfie before he leaves. He did and here are the results.
He is going to make someone a great
husband someday.
I rest. When James gets home he says it was the best sacrament meeting he has ever been to. He has said this before but when he told me that the Jensen's spoke I began to believe him. He gave me his notes. I guess I should share some of them here.
Kate Jensen, 17 year old daughter - Bonnie Cordon's talk, "Never Give Up an Opportunity to Testify of Christ."
Our habits can be a testimony of Christ. Consistent acts to testify of Christ. I sing and play the piano. I can't be good at unless I'm consistent in practice.
Look forward to opportunities to testify of Christ.
Challenged us to set a weekly pattern of some effort to testify of Christ.
Debra Jensen, has 7 children. Their daughter is working on a Masters degree at a university in the south? (I wonder if it's Southern Virginia University where Bonnie H. Cordon is President). Another daughter is in acting school in Paris. A son is back east in a medical study program.
Why are we here? (Gave many possibilities)
Are we here to get to know Jesus? Are you here because you want to live in your covenant relationship with God?
It's God's will that you don't come here in vain but that we will listen and are willing to submit to the whisperings of the Spirit.
Relationship to Christ. Walk with Christ until we are perfected. Covenants are about confirmation. (I wish I could record her talk. Wow!)
Faith, repentance, and sacrifice.
Scott Jensen - Talk on tithing. Opening the windows of Heaven. Elder Andersen's talk about tithing.
Jacob's ladder - an extension of the Abrahamic covenant. Jacob committed to pay one tenth to the Lord after he woke from his dream. To have a heart to help the poor.
Jacob 2:17
Elder Dale G. Renlund dedicated the San Pedro Sulas, Honduras temple today. This is number 198.

We had tamales for lunch and then I had the rest of the linguini noodles for dinner. I'm not sure what James had.
I got a text from Wendy DeWitt today telling me that she missed me at church. I told her that I was struggling with my health and she said she was sorry to hear that. I told her I was sad to miss her lesson. It was nice to hear from her.
We Face Timed with Jared, Kacey, and Charlie this evening. They told us about Brad Wilcox coming to their stake to speak with the youth. The woman who was Brother Wilcox's PHD advisor was one of Jared's patients when he worked in Tyler. He mentioned to her that Brad was coming to speak to the youth at church and she told Jared she wanted to come. Her name is Louise Jackson.
When Brother Wilcox saw Louise at the meeting he was elated. Jared said he even talked about her during the meeting. At one point he said loudly, "I love you Louise." Back from the audience, "I love you too Brad."
Brother Wilcox gave Jared his phone number before he left and told him to call him from time to time with a report about Louise. Jared said he would. WOW.
Charlie still loves penguins, gardening, and reading. She has a little garden she is growing. Charlie is such an interesting little girl. She watched all 5 sessions of General Conference. Her favorite talk was Elder Christensen's on putting away our weapons of rebellion.
