General Conference
Great Love for Our Father's Children
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"As members we can show our love for the Savior and our brothers and sisters throughout the world by making simple invitations. The new Sunday meeting schedule represents an exceptional opportunity for members to successfully and lovingly invite friends and associates to come and see and feel a Church experience. A spiritual sacrament meeting, hopefully as sacred as what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland described yesterday, will be followed by a 50-minute meeting focused on the New testament and the Savior or relevant conference addresses also focused on the savior and His doctrine."
James and I left for sacrament meeting before Darrel's family. We sat in the front and tried to save places for them but our meeting was full and they ended up sitting in the back overflow.
Sister Beard and Brother Curtis were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. Sister Beard spoke about priesthood blessings and Brother Curtis spoke about Apostolic blessings. He specifically mentioned the one that the Prophet gave to the priesthood brethren in the last general conference during the priesthood session.
Sister Beard told about receiving priesthood blessings from her dad and when she was married wishing she had a worthy priesthood holder in her home. After getting her divorce she got a priesthood blessing and recently her little boy needed a blessing of health which her uncle was able to give him because her dad was out of town. I love Camrie's testimony and her strength in spite of her adversity.
Sunday School was packed. Brother Judd gave the lesson. The main focus was receiving revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept. It seemed like we focused on one aspect of the lesson and got a little bogged down.
Trina's mom says everyone looks good,
including Darrel!
After our meetings we came home and heated up our leftover goulash for lunch. Of course James had some watermelon. I added some extra's to the goulash, more tomato sauce, green chilies, and corn. Darrel and Trina had some too.
While James and I were taking a nap Darrel took the kids for a Razr ride. They had a good ride but the Razr broke down on the way home by the Hunsaker's. Trina and I were sitting on the front porch waiting for them to come home when she got the call from Darrel. James took my car to pick them up and town the Razr home. The truck has an electrical short and the battery is dead right now.
While Trina and I were on the porch Sister Grapp delivered us two freshly baked loaves of her delicious homemade bread. What a treat for everyone! We had it with butter and honey.
This evening Darrel fixed his recipe for Caramelized Ham & Swiss Buns. He said he saw the picture on the front of a magazine and the sandwiches were calling to him. Instead of buying the magazine for the recipe Darrel just took a picture. I'm glad he did because they were delicious! The only thing he eliminated was the horseradish.

We played games and watched a Christmas movie this afternoon.
This evening Darrel and Rowan made a fire outside and the family made smores and had the "Come Follow Me" lesson around the campfire.
