Jesus Christ, Antemortal Existence of
Mosiah 7:27
And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the Father of all things, and said that he should take upon him the image of man, and it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning; or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, and that God should come down among the children of men, and take upon him flesh and blood, and go forth upon the face of the earth -
Alma 58:30-59:13
How did Helaman's young warriors show their faith in God, despite the "many wounds" they received? (Alma 58:38-40)
As you face challenges in life, how can you benefit from following the example of the sons of Helaman?
*"It is better to prepare and prevent than it is to repair and repent."
-President Ezra Taft Benson
*Sheri: I listened to a talk today where Elder Hales talked about this. He said: "Sometimes people ask, 'Why do I have to go to sacrament meeting?' or 'Why do I have to live the Word of Wisdom, pay tithing? Why can't I have one foot in Babylon?' May I tell you why? Because spiritual pedaling takes both feet! Unless you are fully engaged in living the gospel--living it with all of your 'heart, might, mind and strength'--you cannot generate enough spiritual light to push back the darkness."
DC 124:131-145
What did I learn from this chapter?
*Verse 143: The above offices I have given unto you, and the keys thereof, for helps and for governments for the work of the ministry and the perfecting of my saints.
General Conference
Foundations of Faith
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"Adversity should not be viewed as either disfavor from the Lord or a withdrawal of His blessings. Opposition in all things is part of the refiner's fire to prepare us for an eternal celestial destiny. Think of the Savior on the cross and the Prophet Joseph Smith in Liberty Jail."
I love this quote!
My car has a flat tire and we don't have the wheel lock to change it. When we got our oil changed and tires rotated at Sears last time, they kept the wheel lock. Thank goodness for Brian. He went to Lexus of Chandler and purchased a new wheel lock and will bring it up with him when he and Kim come tomorrow.
We went to the Snowflake distribution center to pick up our temple clothes that we ordered. I got my shoes but the top I ordered was not available. I ordered another one in another size. After picking up our clothes we went to El Cupido's for something to eat. James and I both got their special, a taco and a toastado. They were both very tasty! Next stop, Walmart. I bought another lamp for Kim and Brian's room downstairs. We picked up a few other things, but I will have to do my real shopping tomorrow. Home again, home again, jiggity jig.
I worked on my blog this afternoon. James is pretty discouraged because of the equipment situation around here and so am I. The tractor is still sitting where it was a week ago when James was going to load it on the trailer to take it to the valley.
I put sheets on the bed downstairs in the basement for Kim and Brian, did some cleaning and put up the new lamp. Let there be light!
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, shopping and cleaning!

Braylin took Arnold the pig to school.
Arnold gave Braylin a kiss. I guess he likes school.
