Ogden, Utah
Temple #14
As part of the "Come Follow Me" lesson we listened to a talk by Elder Bednar given in 2020, "We Will Prove Them Herewith." Here are a few notes that I took:
The importance of tests to determine what we have learned and what we need to know.
Prepare every needful thing. D&C 88:119
Are we hearers only, or doers of the word.
Preparation precedes preparing.
Am I all in?
Stand in holy places and be not moved.
Proving ourselves.
Press forward. Well done.
Chuck surprises everyone by going to the dump this morning. James was getting ready to go and gave him $5.
I had a breakdown today and asked James how he would feel if I asked to be released from my calling. He said he thought it was a good idea. I was surprised, but felt validated. I asked about the covenant make in the temple where we consecrate all our time, talents, and means to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He said, you have lived it all of your life. But my life isn't over, I have to endure to the end. Sometimes we have to take time to fill our own well before we can fill others. This is the advice my dear friend Janis Willis gave me a long time ago. James said he would talk to the bishop. I told him he could. I still want to minister and go to the temple and of course attend all of my meetings. I'm just a little broken right now. Hopefully my Savior will fix me.
Dave Elkins will give us $24,000 as earnest money on our land before the end of March, probably next Saturday. This is a big relief. I told James we needed money before the end of March. Yay!
James and I watched and enjoyed Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith in a new episode of "Nelly Knows Mysteries - All Manners of Murder".
