General Conference
The Priesthood and the Savior's Atoning Power
Elder Dale G. Renlund
"The purpose of the priesthood is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel. We have the priesthood so that we can help Heavenly Father's children be relieved of the burden of sin and become like Him. Through the priesthood, the power of godliness is manifest in the lives of all who make and keep gospel covenants and receive the associated ordinances. This is the way each of us comes unto Christ, is purified, and is reconciled to God. Christ's atoning power is made accessible through the priesthood, which deliver the payload."
James is cleaning up outside and sealing the patio today. He reached his goal and finished before Darrel's family arrived.
We made a trip to town today. We paid Arizona Stone $2,330.00 for the materials we got from them for the patio and fire pit. There goes our Christmas money. We also went to Walmart, Panda, Home Depot and Firehouse Subs.
When we got home we finished getting ready for our company. I had to vacuum again to get up more of the glitter. Our house has been glitterized! James cleaned the dead flies out of the bathtubs upstairs.
Today's Christmas movies: "The Christmas Gift," "A Grandpa for Christmas," and "Looks Like Christmas."
Darrel's family arrived around 9 p.m. We had a fire going and the tree lights turned on when they arrived. We visited and played Apples to Apples before going to bed.

Day 15
Jesus taught: "Blessed are the merciful." Matt. 5:7
Jesus's sacrifice on our behalf was the greatest example
of mercy. We can follow His example by extending mercy
and compassion to others whenever we can.
On their way to the cabin they stopped for some ice cream
and crepes. The people who own this place are in their ward.
Everyone agree that crepes and ice cream are delicious together!

Jackson wrestled 10 matches. He got
10 pins and was named the outstanding wrestler
of the tournament. That's his proud papa
standing next to him.
