Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
DC 46:13
To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world.
Book of Mormon
Jacob 3:1-14
New Testament

"The Soil and Roots of Testimony"

General Conference
Becoming a Shepherd
Bonnie H. Cordon
"Whether our sheep are strong or weak, rejoicing or in anguish, we can make certain that no one walks alone. We can love them wherever they are spiritually and offer support and encouragement for the next step forward. As we pray and seek to understand their hearts, I testify that Heavenly Father will direct us and His Spirit will go with us. We have the opportunity to be the 'angels round about' them as He goes before their face."


The weather is beginning to feel like spring although the first day isn't until tomorrow. It was around 60 degrees and in the 80's in the valley.

At 8 o'clock I listened to the Book Profits webinar Afterwards I sourced 18 books and ended up buying 3.

After my lunch, rest, and a walk I got ready and went to Safeway to buy croissants for tonight's Relief Society birthday celebration. I did not dilly dally and I was back home by 5. I was going to look for more books to buy but Stacy called and we talked for about 30 minutes. My friend Maxine needed a ride to the meeting tonight so I left a little early to pick her up.

I drive west to get Maxine and the sun is directly in my eyes. It's a good thing there wasn't much traffic on the road. Maxine and I make it back to the church at 6:30 right when the meeting is supposed to begin. 

There are several women already there and the food was set out ready to be served. Maxine helped me cut my croissants open and then we set them on the table. Kerri asked me to say the opening prayer and blessing on the food. While we were eating Kerri played the "Sisters to the Rescue" video. I sat by Kerri, and her mother Catherine and Tamara.

Sister Nichols is our RS activities chairman and she had prepared a most delicious chicken salad to go on the croissants. I told her I needed the recipe and she sent it to me.

X6 the recipe for our group
We had plenty and it was delicious!

There was also several fruit and veggie trays and a big Happy 177th Birthday Relief Society cake.

Picture 23 women sitting around these tables
eating, laughing, and talking and enjoying one
another's company.

After listening to a brief history of Relief Society Kerri asked the sisters some questions just for fun. Kaeli read "The Relief Society Declaration." I think you can say that a good time was had by all.

I may or may not have watched the Hallmark movies listed today.

Jesus Christ, Crucifixion
2 Nephi 25:13
Behold, they will crucify him; and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 3:1-10
*Why is it so important to stand guard against the flatteries of men?
- So that we stay on the covenant path. We need to constantly repent and progress and flattery blinds us to our sins and areas we need to improve. Flattery causes us to be puffed up and vain.
Old Testament
Jeremiah 7-9
General Conference
Our Campfire of Faith
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
"For those who seek, allow, and live for it, the dawn of faith, sometimes gradually, will come or can return."



I finished reading the Old Testament commentary on Isaiah. It was very enlightening. Here are some things I wrote down:
Calamities and troubles are increasing in the earth, but there is a place of deliverance. There will be no peace until the Prince of Peace comes to bring it. The righteous have been called on to come out of Babylon, or the world, to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ as it has been restored, and find a place in the Kingdom of God.

I started reading about Jeremiah. Here are some notes I took:
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Jeremiah labored as a prophet during four kings of Judah: Josiah, Jehoaz, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. 

James and I took a trip to town today. We stopped at the printer's so I could get the Book of Mormon reading schedules for Relief Society laminated. I only had 18 laminated and it cost me $11. I am going to take the rest of them to presidency meeting tonight and hope someone has a laminating machine.

I picked up my Tramadol and did some shopping. James went to Home Depot and Firehouse Sub. I had a nice sandwich waiting for me when I got in the car. How did I end up spending $200 at Walmart?

James went back to the Howard's to work and I worked at home. I mopped the kitchen floor, worked on my blog, and ran off all of the conference talks. This was the first day they have been available in print.

Tamara, Kerri, and I visited Donna Peeler before our presidency meeting. Donna had surgery for a compressed disk and now she is going to have surgery for the bulging disks in her back. She told us she fell the other day. This really stresses me because that's how she got the compressed disk in the first place. Tamara asked me to say a prayer before we left. I prayed for Donna's safety.

During presidency meeting this evening I found out that Kerri is adopted. I was genuinely surprised. Kerri brought her computer and typed notes and sent them to everyone after the meeting,  and she isn't even the secretary. 

No book arbitrage training tonight. We are getting ready to leave for Texas in the morning. Yahoo!
