"I am the Light of the World."
3 Nephi 28:1-24
Does anyone have any questions about these verses? (I ask this question of my scripture study group). Does everyone understand the difference between translated, transfigured, and resurrected beings? (see Book of Mormon Student Manual, Religion 121-22, p. 339).
GC: "For Our Spiritual Development and Learning" by Elder W. Mark Bassett
' For my soul delighteth in the scriptures,
and my heart pondereth them,
and I writeth them for the learning and the profit
of my children. Behold, my soul delighteth in the
things of the Lord and my heart pondereth continually
upon the things which I have seen and heard.'
2 Nephi 4:15-16
I was excited to see one of my Primary children I have never seen before at church come to sacrament meeting. Curtis invited him to come to our class but he went home with his family instead. I did have his cousin who was visiting from Springerville in my class. Her name is Brodie. I also had Zemira and Curtis. Curtis never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge of the stories from the Book of Mormon. Today he knew about the three Nephites and why they wanted to stay on earth. He was not here last week for that lesson so it must have been during family scripture study that he learned this story.
James went home teaching this afternoon so I was home alone for a couple of hours. I read a conference talk and studied my scriptures. I also watched a Christmas movie, "Christmas Incorporated," which had a very good message to it about the spirit of Christmas and giving to others.
We had some more visitors today:
This picture was taken on my phone.
These were taken with my camera
James calls this guy, "the Big Buck."
I do like antelope!
Oh the wisdom!
This evening we had the marriage class at our home. It was taught by our friend Anne. Before class James and I did our homework which was to go to the fivelovelanguages website and take the test. My love language is definitely my spouse giving service and positive affimations. We didn't do James's score but I think his is physical touch and positive affirmations.
Tonight the lesson was on Fostering Equality and Unity. In a marriage there is no inferior or superior person. Here are some questions I ask myself:
Do I take correction well? (No!)
Do I follow my husbands council and advice? (Sometimes)
Be careful about correction. It can be hurtful and destroy a relationship. Correction is sometimes needed in spiritual matters.
Don't sweat the small stuff. The Spirit of God never creates contention.
Where am I controlling? Try to be better and learn to serve my spouse.
John 13:34-35, Ephesians 5:33, D&C 38:27, D&C 121:39.
Cammy made some delicious banana nut bread and we enjoyed visiting after the class. I talked to Sandra about Zemira's upcoming wrestling match on Thursday. James and I are going.
No blog post would be complete without posting some family pictures:

They were so great together!
