The Jews will be restored when they believe in the Messiah - He will first come six hundred years after Lehi left Jerusalem - The Nephites keep the law of Moses and believe in Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel. About 559-545 B.C.
How do you talk, rejoice, preach, and prophesy of Christ?

16 - Alma and Amulek and many others preach the word - They teach that after His Resurrection Christ will appear to the Nephites.
17 - The sons of Mosiah have the spirit of prophecy and of revelation - They go their several ways to declare the word to the Lamanites - Ammon goes to the land of Ishmael and becomes the servant of King Lamoni - Ammon saves the king's flocks and slays his enemies at the water of Sebus. 77-91 B.C.

"Faith means that we trust not only in God's wisdom but that
we trust also in His love. It means trusting that God
loves us perfectly, that everything He does - every blessing
He gives and every blessing He, for a time, withholds - is
for our eternal happiness. All things will work together for good
to them that love God."
We left Cathi and Terry's at 7:21 this morning thinking that the session at the Gilbert temple started at 8 am. I looked at the schedule one more time to be sure and realized it actually started at 7:45. We hurried but I had not hope that we would make that session, but we did. We also were privileged to see our friend Martin K. who is a temple worker. There were 8 brothers and 12 sisters in our session.

When we get back to Cathi's Colin is happily playing in his gorilla shirt. He seemed to be in a good mood. Not so much last night.
We pack up and get ready to go home but first we took Ben to Olive Garden for lunch. I told him if I could send him the scripture reading assignments for each day and if he would read them, we would take him to lunch once a month and discuss the Book of Mormon. Ben is a great kid and we had a wonderful visit with him. After he graduates he plans on serving a mission and when he returns he wants to either go to ASU or BYU and study architecture. He showed us some of the scale models he has been working on in his architecture class. After taking Ben home we start our fast. We are fasting for Michael. Of course we go the Globe way and stop for burros so when we complete our fast tomorrow we will have something delicious to eat. It was hard riding with those burros in the car and not taking a bite.
James gets tired when he is driving so I read to him for awhile from "Seven Tipping Points." After I finished reading I slept most of the rest of the way home. We arrived at home around 4 p.m.
Speaking of Burger House:
#2.
and #4. on the list:
I am getting hungry.
After unloading, unpacking, and putting everything away, James works on his Sunday School lesson. I make some cutout letters that spell: The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ, for an activity for my lesson tomorrow. We were in bed by 9:30.
Here's what was happening in Mesa:
The Case family adults minus Lexy who is gone.
Sheri got Lexy's ticket.
Kim and Brian, and Aaron and Kari were there too.
I heard that Kari laughed until her jaws hurt.
Thank goodness for clean comedians like
Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan.
