Jesus Christ
Philippians 2:10-11; 2 Timothy 2:8

*What was the focus of the Zoramites' prayer?
*What was the focus of Alma's prayer?
*What elements of Alma's prayer would you like to incorporate into your personal prayers?
*How has the Lord given you strength to bear your infirmities?

22-31, The nature of life during the Millennium is set forth;
32-42, The Saints will be blessed and rewarded then;
How can we better take care of our souls?
* By coming unto Christ, repenting of our sins, being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end in obedience and righteousness.

"The declarations of heaven cry out to us that the only way complex societal issues can ever be satisfactorily resolved is by loving God and keeping His commandments, thus opening the door to the one lasting, salvific way to love each other as neighbors. The prophet Ether taught that we should hope for a better world."
Our friend Grady E. from Chandler got his mission call. He is going to Quito, Equador. He leaves in October. We are excited for him. We had Grady in our Primary class a few years back.
James worked on finishing the fence this morning while I got ready to go to the valley. We left at 10:50. I read three chapters of "The Reluctant Duchess" before we stopped at the Taco Bell in Payson.
I made it to my appointment at Dr. Douglas's at 2:30 a few minutes early. Sheri got James an appointment with Dr. Carpenter at 3 so I dropped him off there before going to my appointment. It did not take Dr. Douglas long to fill my tooth. I was out in 30 minutes. James was still waiting to see Dr. Carpenter so I decided to go to Target and get some Dr. Pepper 10.
It was a quick shopping spree but I bought four small notebooks, four DP10's, four bathtub scrubber refills, and a few more items before James was ready for me to come and get him. I grabbed a mini pizza at the snack bar and shared it with James.
At Cathi and Terry's James unloads the car while I tell Cathi about our cousins reunion, and all of our kids visiting.
I hang out in the bedroom most of the evening. James got me an In-n-Out Burger and a Jersey Mike's. I am saving the Jersey Mike's for tomorrow. We read another chapter from "The Reluctant Duchess" before going to bed.

Today marks 27 years from when Mario, a friend of ours from Chandler, died in a tragic airplane accident. Brennan, his oldest, was only 15 but he and his mom and brothers keep Mario's memory very much alive in their family by sharing the memories of him. This is all of Papa Mario's grandchildren except Adam and Gabby.
38 years of marital bliss for these two.
Ray and Dianne.
This is my dear friend Analee.
I would have never recognized her from this photo
as it was taken several decades ago.
I need to show this to James.
