Rowan and Evan had their first soccer game today. I wish I could have been there. I hear they were awesome and Trina was doing some coaching from the sidelines.
Rowan the veteran and Evan the rookie.
Evan ready for action.
Here are some of my notes from today's sessions of General Conference.
Two new temples were announced: Cedar City, Utah, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The newest operating temple, number 141 is the Tegucigalpa, Honduras temple. Darrel would love to go to the temple there. Who knows, maybe after he graduates.
Boyd K. Packer
Joseph Smith prophesied: "We will not always be safe from the influence of the adversary in our own homes." The Priesthood protects the home.
Dean M. Davies
Prayer is a basic foundation to our character. Worthily partake of the sacrament each week.
Elaine S. Dalton ( She was released today as the General YW Pres. I will miss her!)
"Where ere thou art, act well thy part." Sister Dalton's mother kept her covenants and called dow the powers of heaven to direct their home.
Craig A. Cardon (Pres. Ted Dana's brother-in-law)
"We overcome the world thru the enabling power of the Atonement. Faith unto Repentance!
Forgive 70x7.
M. Russell Ballard
"The priesthood is a sacred and essential gift of God. The powers of heaven are tapped on the basis of personal righteousness."
Pres. Henry B. Eyring
Quoted the Savior: "I will encircle thee in the arms of my love." As we are faith to Him our love for Him will increase.
Richard G. Scott
Create a refuge and center your home on the Savior. Satan is no match for the Savior.
Quentin L. Cook
Peace: An abiding deep happiness and spiritual contentment. Peace comes as we acknowledge God's power and authority. The Savior is the source of true peace.
Stanley Ellis
What happens inside the home is critical. How we live is more important than where we live.
John B. Dickson
Christ's direction to His apostles stands today: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations." Brother Dickson lives in west Africa and he says people are coming into the Church by the hundreds.
David A. Bednar
The natural man is overcome through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. (Mosiah 3:19)
Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness.
Russell M. Nelson
"Catch the Wave" in the sacred work of rescuing God's children. We have a growing army of missionaries. Today it is over 65,000. Seek to know the truth through earnest prayer. "Catch the wave" of righteousness moving across the earth!
The guys, James, Brian and Joe left for the priesthood session a little after 4. They have to go into Show Low because the satellite in Vernon is down. Kim and I have the house to ourselves. We watched a couple of episodes of season one "Once Upon a Time."
When the guys got home we had dinner. Ribeye steaks for James and I and chicken fried steaks for Kim, Joe, and Brian. Wait, I'm not sure what Joe ate.
