Today during scripture study as we were reading 1 Nephi 22 I found this quote written in my scriptures:
"The fruit of keeping covenants is the companionship of the Holy Ghost and an increase in the power to love. That happens because of the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ to change our very natures." I love this quote. It reminds me of the importance of partaking of the sacrament each week to renew our covenants that we might always have the Spirit to be with us as we remember the Savior and his Atonement.
I went visiting teaching today. Sheri joined me at Christy Wanlass's because she wanted to see Christy's new dog, a cockapoo named Max. I must admit that Max is adorable. But while we were there he piddled on the floor twice and bit Sher.
I also visited Lynn Ritz and Bev Hermann. I encouraged Lynn to come to church and talked to Bev about her job as a CNA at the NICU at Banner Desert. I really like both of these sisters.
This morning Karen Schneider and I walked at the mall. This evening we helped the young men in our ward, along with Terry Lambson, register on new.familysearch.org. I enjoyed helping Michael, Alex and Ben. Dallin was there but because he has done family history before wasn't as interested.
