Jesus Christ, Condescension of
Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Book of Mormon
Alma 16:1-21
*In your opinion, if the people of America would obey God, how might the Lord ward off enemy attacks for us as He did for the people of Zarahemla?
*The Book of Mormon provides the people of America (and all nations) with a foreign policy that is guaranteed to make them free from "all other nations under heaven." According to Ether 2:11-12, what is this policy?
Old Testament
2 Kings 15-16
15 Many kings reign in Israel and in Judah - Their wickedness, wars, conspiracies, and evils are described - Much of Israel is carried captive to Assyria by Tiglath-pileser.
16 Ahaz reigns in wickedness in Judah - He offers his son in heathen sacrifice - He makes a new altar, destroys the brazen sea, and changes the method for sacrificing in the temple.

A young boy speaking in sacrament meeting:
"The Lord is telling us it's our responsibility to not only care for the Church but to also care for the people within the Church the way that Christ would because this is His Church. If we are trying to keep the commandments, be kind to each other, be honest, be good friends, and enjoy being together, then we will be able to have the Spirit with us and know what Heavenly Father wants us to do. If we don't, then we can't fulfill our calling."
Russell M. Nelson 4/16 #67 The Price of Priesthood Power
"Are we willing to pray, fast, study, seek, worship, and serve as men of God so we can have priesthood power?"

Elder Cook's conference talk, "Preparing to Meet God", is the talk we will be studying in Relief Society this week. I began to study and read it today and I have decided that it is one of my favorites from this last conference.
Elder Bernecker is the name of the new elder in our ward taking Elder Macy's place. I wonder where he is from.
We have lots of clouds again today and according to the radar on our weather app, rain is very close. It smells, looks, and feels like rain outside, there just aren't any raindrops.
I wrote a thank you note to Rosie who taught the Relief Society lesson last week. I so appreciate her willingness to teach and she did a great job.
James and I picked up Kerri and Catherine this afternoon and the four of us attended the endowment sealing for Sister Brewer, a convert of about 4 years from our ward.
There were 20 ward members in the session with Sister Brewer. This includes Kathy C. who was the 1st follower in the session.
Here is a list of all of those who were there: Kathy and Chuck C., Bishop Miller and Anne, Ed and Debbie the bishop's parents, Lorraine V., Judy H. Teresa S., the Thompson's, the Diewald's, Stefani and Tyler, Sister Reynolds who was Deborah's escort, Kerri, Catherine, James and I. Sister Brewer was glowing when she got to the celestial room. I am so grateful that we went because her attitude made it all worthwhile.
We had a little rain on the way home, and it did rain a little earlier in Vernon. I guess the big rain is coming on Saturday.
When I returned home I finished my steps and read from Children Learning to Read.

My sheep hear my voice.
I wonder if this is in Elder Allen's
mission.

Something to think about.
Val from DWTS proposes to Jenna from Utah,
and DWTS.
I guess Jenna won't have a temple marriage.
Val is Jewish Catholic.
