Priesthood Power - Spiritual Treasures, D&C 25, 84, 107

Up at 4:22. What a wonderful life I have! I am so blessed and grateful! 

As part of our "Come Follow Me" study we listened to a talk President Nelson gave in the October 2019 General Conference called, "Spiritual Treasures." This talk was given to the women back when they had women's sessions of general conference. President Nelson wants us to better understand the priesthood and our part in it. He asks us to study sections 25, 84, and 107 of the Doctrine & Covenants to better understand priesthood power available to all and more specifically to women. I have re-committed myself to do this again. This is one of my all-time favorite talks! It is so powerful!

James had to go back to the Hipps's to take down forms as they changed their minds about how much concrete they wanted to pour. 

I got a new cordless iron and I'm still struggling to learn how to use it. I'm trying to iron on patches to James's work pants and right now it isn't working. I will figure it out. 

I just finished section B of my new puzzle and it looks like there is a piece missing. The first puzzle I got from this company had four pieces missing. As much as I love these puzzles they need a little better quality control.

This morning I also listened to "Grace to Become" by Emily Belle Freeman, "Small and Simple Things" by President Oaks, and "Receive His Gift" by Elder Kearon. I feel like I have been spiritually fed.

James came home, ate some lunch and took a nap. I take a quick nap and read from my books, "Look Unto Christ In Every Thought" and "To Be a Jew." After my rest time I get ready to go shopping. It was 3:30 when I walked out into the garage to get into the car. I wanted to leave by 3 but didn't make it. James decides he is going to go with me because he needs something at Home Depot. 

We had to stop for construction but it's exciting to see the new pavement. James drops me off at Walmart while he goes to Home Depot and Circle K. I am shopping for baked ziti and snickerdoodles. Bakes ziti for Bunco on Thursday and snickerdoodles for Vernon Day on Saturday. It is after six when we get home. James has to unload forms after carrying in groceries. I put groceries away, watered my flowers and fixed more homemade veggie soup. James and I actually sat down at the table and ate together and then he worked on preparing for his hearing next Wednesday. He has to take all of the paperwork in to Phoenix tomorrow while we are in the valley. He needed some help on the computer so I helped him. It is around midnight when we finally go to bed.

"The love our friends feel among us will lift them closer to Jesus Christ.
- Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

D&C 84:45
For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

are not a good combination according to Stacy 
the plastic will break down and contaminate the water.
