Temple:
3 Nephi 28:25-40
What do these verses teach us about the three Nephites and the work that they are doing on the earth before Christ's second coming?
* We are told, "And wo be unto him that will not hearken unto the words of Jesus, and also to them whom He hath chosen and sent among them; for whoso receiveth not the words of Jesus and the words of those whom He hath sent receive not Him; and therefore He will not receive them at the last day; For do ye suppose that ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God, who hath been trampled under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come?" (34-35). Are we among those who trample? Do we listen and obey the words of our Savior and His servants? Do we share them? Many are sent forth to spread the words of Christ. The Lord has an army of Saints, missionaries, leaders, families and individuals who are called to deliver the good news of our Savior. We are to go forth and proclaim the message of the gospel. We are to bear testimony. The Lord tells us that many are called but few are chosen (D&C 121:33-40). Why are we not chosen? When we let the world get in the way; when we do not maintain our righteousness; or when we become prideful, then we lost our ability to influence. We are called to the work. Therefore, we have to follow the Spirit, heed promptings, and be humble servants to do it.
GC: "Be Ambitious for Christ" by Elder Kazuhik Yamashita
'What does it mean to "be ambitious for Christ?" Being ambitious for Christ means being motivated, focused, and dedicated
to His work. Being ambitious for Christ will seldom mean that
we are singled out for public honor. Being ambitious for Christ means that we serve faithfully and diligently in our wards
and branches without complaint and with joyful hearts.'

Something that should have happened a long time ago.
James left for Show Low early this morning to continue cleaning out the construction yard he rents from Bill Valentic. His goal is to have everything moved out by the end of the month. He had Adam and Alex helping him today.
While James was gone I worked on my blog and watched Christmas movies. "Charming Christmas," "All I Want for Christmas," and "Hats off to Christmas."
On his way home he called me from Show Low and told me to go outside and look at the moon. I went outside and looked in the direction he indicated and there was no moon. He indicated it was probably hiding behind Mt. Montoso, and it was.
Obviously I didn't take this picture, but
I love it.

James brought me a green chili mixed burro and a bean burro. I had the green chili burro for dinner.
We watched "Christmas Cookies" a new movie this year and finished our book, by the fire, "Hanging by a Thread."
