"The Blessing of Continuing Revelation to Prophets and Personal Revelation to Guide Our Lives"
Elder Quentin L. Cook
The prophet Enoch foresaw the days in which we live. The Lord acknowledged to Enoch the great wickedness that would prevail and prophesied of the"great tribulations" that would occur. Nevertheless, the Lord promised, "But my people will I preserve." "And righteousness will I send down out of heaven: and truth will I send froth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten."

We had the sacrament and "Come Follow Me" with Erik's family this morning instead of going to the Crane's. They said they normally study from the lesson each day of the week. One person will take one section and lead the discussion, this includes the kids. We watched "Drawn In" by David Bowman on the Redheaded Hostess website. David Bowman is the artist of the picture Jared and Tricia bought us several years ago for Christmas. Here is the picture:
Brother Bowman had a studio in Snowflake and that's where Jared went to get the picture. Brother Bowman even signed it for us.
After "Come Follow Me" we fixed "brunch". By brunch I mean breakfast and lunch, or pancakes and hamburgers. Pancakes for most of the kids and hamburgers for the adults and Mabel. She had her hamburger with syrup which was left from her pancakes.
After lunch James and I took a nap. When we got up it was time for Erik's family to leave. Amelia and Aurora had a Zoom Young Women's meeting at 12:30 and they were finished. We said goodbye and told them to travel safely home and let us know when they arrived.
One of our neighbors, a property owner and a real estate agent, Mrs. Guerro, gave James a check to help pay for the gravel on the road. After meeting with her James went over to the Elkins' to bring Luna back. He also got on the Razr and chased some cows off of our property.
We FaceTimed with Kacey and Charlie. Tanner was there too. Jared was gone to pick up Molly. Charlie visited with us longer than usual which was nice.
At 6:00 we had our Lambson Study Group with Kim, Brian, Stacy, and Kacey. Jared came home towards the end. We had a good discussion on how to prepare for the Savior's Second Coming.
This evening I happened to look out the kitchen window and I saw some kind of animal on top of James's truck. It was a grayish color and at first I thought it was a cat. A closer look revealed that it was an owl.
staring into our kitchen window for awhile.
I worked on my stranded inventory this evening. This is not something I would normally do on Sunday but I am going to be gone tomorrow and Amazon only keeps a seller support case open for 48 hours.
It was another wonderful Sabbath day!
