Jesus Christ, Jehovah
DC 19:10
For, behold, the mystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am endless, and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless punishment, for Endless is my name.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
1 Nephi 21-22
"Fruit"
Elder Neil L. Andersen

The prayer of Jason Hall:
"Dear Father in Heaven, I begged, if I could only have my hands, I know I could make it. Please, Father, please. ...
Keep my legs, Father; I just pray for the use of my hands.
Jason never received the use of his hands. Can you hear the voice from the spacious building? Jason Hall, God does not hear your prayers! If God is a loving God, how could He leave you like this? Why have faith in Christ? Jason Hall heard their voices, but he did not heed them. Instead he feasted upon the fruit of the tree. His faith in Jesus Christ became immovable. He graduated from the university and married Kolette Coleman in the temple, describing her as the love of his life. After 16 years of marriage, another miracles, their precious son, Coleman, was born."
"Closing Remarks"

"The year 2020 will be designated as a bicentennial year. General conference next April will be different from any previous conference. In the next six months, I hope that every member and every family will prepare for a unique conference that will commemorate the very foundations of the restored gospel."

I was up at 4:17 this morning. This line from my patriarchal blessing:
"Pray daily to avoid temptation and have the righteous desires of my heart realized."
This morning I prayed for Savannah Marie Perez, Laura, Sister Brady, and our youth family history consultants Kyah and Ty.
I love this from "Women and the Priesthood":
"Conversion requires immersion, immersion in truth. Immersion in the scriptures. Immersion in the temple. Immersion through fasting, prayer, and time to contemplate the things of heaven. It is not about "doing" more."
I finished Sister Dew's book, "Women and the Priesthood" today. Tomorrow I will be starting, "Live Up to Our Privileges" by Wendy Ulrich.
I was going to start sweeping the mud out of the garage today before James used the power washer on it. My right knee is swollen and stiff so I was moving a little slower this morning. Jame went out and started sweeping and ended up cleaning the garage of mud. He started on the driveway but didn't finish because of frozen ice in places where the sun doesn't shine. He came in and did some work on the computer and went back out around 4. I reminded him that the missionaries are coming at 6 and he is supposed to grill the chicken.
I made the rolls and the apple crisp early in the day and then got myself ready before I went back in the kitchen to prepare the rice pilaf, corn, asparagus and salad. The rice took about thirty minutes to do and the other three things went quickly. Oh yes, I made punch and set the table too. At 5:30 James comes rushing in from outside saying he forgot about the chicken. I was just getting ready to go out and get him.
As it was nearing six o'clock the missionaries texted and said they would be a little late. They were visiting with Sister Tedder and just left.
Elder Sagers and Elder Richards are our missionaries. I am kicking myself for not getting a picture. Wait, I think Elder Sagers has a Facebook page. Yes he does:

Elder Sagers is on the right. He is from Burley, Idaho and
Elder Richards is from Ft. Worth, Texas.
Such wonderful, humble missionaries.
They loved the dinner. James says he saw Elder Sagers eat six pieces of chicken. My favorite part of the meal was the apple crisp. I will never make another apple pie in my life. Apple crisp all the way!
We enjoyed the visit and then afterwards they shared part of the Restoration with us. Elder Sagers had Joseph Smith's vision memorized and I always feel the Spirit when I hear it. Elder Richards is an amazing new missionary! I love both of these missionaries!
We sent rolls home with them and cherry jam. I wish I would have given them some chicken and rice. Oh well, I guess James and I will have to eat the rest.
James did most of the dishes and I helped as much as my leg would allow. James also made tea while I studied about the Restoration.
I know, I know I have posted this before, but
I am so proud of myself for eating eggs!
My mud mucking man
We should have a good crop of
wildflowers this year!
Such a cute!
I like farmhouse decor
I ordered some throw pillows today.
These are the ones I wanted.
I think they go great with this quilt.
They were not available.
These are the ones I ordered:
The
more I look at them the more I like them.
