Alma 22:1-14
Aaron teaches the gospel to Lamoni's father, who believes and is born of God.
* Why did Aaron begin teaching the king by establishing his belief in God?
* Read Alma 22:7-14 and make a list of doctrines that Aaron taught to Lamoni's father. How do these doctrines answer the king's question in Alma 22:6?
DC 91:1-6-92:1-2
91:1-3, The Apocrypha is mostly translated correctly but contains many interpolations by the hands of men that are not true; 4-6, It benefits those enlightened by the Spirit.
92:1-2, The Lord gives a commandment relative to admission to the united order.
How can we become more "lively" members?
* We can work diligently for the advancement of the goals and principles of the group or movement to which we belong.

Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear

"God motivates through persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness, meekness, and love unfeigned. God is on our side. He loves us, and when we stumble, He wants us to rise up, try again and become stronger. He is our mentor. He is our great and cherished hope. He desires to stimulate us with faith. He trusts us to learn from our missteps and make correct choices."
We checked out of rooms 1023 and 1024 at around 10 a.m. this morning. James had already left in his truck for Chandler. Jared and Kacey helped me carry my stuff to the car. We drove straight to the Chandler West stake center in Chandler on Dobson and Galveston. We are attending the Galveston 3rd ward sacrament meeting with Sheri's family. It was Alex Braddock's mission homecoming today and James really wanted to go.
I felt the Spirit when Elder Braddock spoke. He was humble and you could tell he loved his mission and had been a good missionary. He told some good stories about the people he met and served in Chile.
We did not stay for the entire block. After sacrament meeting we said our goodbyes to Sheri and to Kacey and Jared who are driving back to El Paso this afternoon. They stopped by the Tucson temple on the way home.
It was over 115 degrees for these pictures
James and I pretty much stayed together on the way home. I was so tired and hungry that I had to stop at McDonald's and get something to eat. This is the reason I don't like to travel on Sunday.
I also had to stop by the side of the road and take a short nap.
We we arrived home it had been raining in Vernon and was 73 degrees.
I helped James unload, unpacked, at a couple of waffles for dinner, read, and went to bed. It's always great to be home.
Kacey took this picture on their way to El Paso.
