Alma 11:1-25
* What did the lawyers do in order to get gain? (see verse 20.)
* What was Amulek's answer to Zeezrom regarding the questions Zeezrom wanted to ask him? (verse 22.)
* Do you think Zeezrom would have honored his offer?
DC 84:54-73
54-61, The Saints must testify of those things they have received; 62-76, They are to preach the gospel, and signs will follow;
How can we always remember the importance of the Book of Mormon?
* By reading from it daily. Holding it up as a standard and bearing testimony of it. Every Latter-day Saint should make the study of this book a lifetime pursuit, so said the prophet, Ezra Taft Benson.
General Conference
"My Peace I Leave With You"
President Henry B. Eyring
"You will at times have your faith challenged by Satan; it happens to all disciples of Jesus Christ. Your defense against these attacks is to keep the Holy Ghost as your companion. The Spirit will speak peace to your soul. He will urge you forward in faith. And He will bring back the memory of those times when you felt the light and the love of Jesus Christ. Remembering may be one of the most precious gifts the Spirit can give you."
Up early to finish preparing for my Primary lesson. The lesson is about Joseph Smith translating the Bible and other scriptures. I think the kids will be interested to here about the Egyptian papyrus that he translated. I found this picture to show them.
An Egyptian mummy similar to the ones where
ancient papyrus was found. Joseph Smith
translated the writings on these papyrus and we now
know them as the book of Abraham in
the Pearl of Great Price.
Winna U. bore her testimony today. She was holding her great grandson Densyn. I loved her testimony. She said she knew her family was broken but Heavenly Father sent this child to them and she was grateful because there is nothing more precious than a new born baby. She said that she hoped someday the baby's mother would get well and be able to be a real mother to him. She is an amazing woman, probably about the same age as I am.
James had to chase cows before we left for church and another 3 times when we got home. I am going to call him Cowboy Jim. He is trying to protect his precious patch of grass, fruit trees, and vines. These cows are relentless.
After Primary Liana from my class usually comes back to the classroom to help me clean up. Today she didn't come but her five year old sister Tildy did. When we were finished she gave me a hug and told me that she loved me. Do you think it is because I always give her candy?
I have a new girl in my Primary class. Her name is Gracie. Her sister Bailey is in the older class. I had her class today to, which means I had Bailey, Zemira, and Kacey. I am not sure where Sister Kuffer was.
After church we came home and broke our fast. James grilled some steaks and I made a salad. Afterwards I took a short nap and James took a long one. I got up to study and work on my journal (blog.) I wrote a family message and sent it to the kids. I encouraged them to teach their kids the Articles of Faith along with their scripture study. I also reminded them about the family temple night this coming Thursday at the Mesa temple.
Today the Idaho Falls temple was rededicated by President Henry B. Eyring.

Since it's her birthday I am finding last
year pictures of Emmy.
Not sure when this was. Maybe 4th grade?
Here they are again.
Another twosome!
