Alma 5:53-6:8
*What is the fruit of the tree of life?
*What do we have to do to obtain it?
*What do you need to change in your life to be prepared to meet the Savior?
Moroni 6-7
6 Repentant persons are baptized and fellowshipped; Church members who repent are forgiven; Meetings are conducted by the power of the Holy Ghost. About A.D. 401-21.
7 An invitation is given to enter into the rest of the Lord; Pray with real intent; The Spirit of Christ enables men to know good from evil; Satan persuades men to deny Christ and do evil; The prophets manifest the coming of Christ; By faith, miracles are wrought and angels minister; Men should hope for eternal life and cleave unto charity.
DC 79-80

General Conference
To the Friends and Investigators of the Church
Elder Joaquin E. Costa
"So, from my first lesson, I say to you friends and investigators of the Church: once you meet the missionaries, please take them seriously; they are giving up important years of their lives for you."
James set 14 fence posts today before we left to go to the temple. We decided to do the 4 o'clock afternoon session. We left around 2:45, stopping at the post office to pick up the new Hoover Floor Mate that I ordered. When we arrived at the temple I knew it was going to be a big session, I just didn't know how big. The line to get in was out the door. Again at the front desk there was someone from our high school days. Brother Patterson. He was not a member of the Church in high school so I was pleasantly surprised to see him.
Our session was packed to say the least. Normally there are enough seats for 40 people. This session had a fold up chair in every spare place. There were 59 of us in this session, including our friend Brother Peeler from Vernon. There were two newly called missionaries going through for their own endowments and of course there were lots of family and friends there with them. The celestial room was packed so we didn't stay long.
It was my turn to choose where to have dinner and of course I chose El Cupido's. I got a taco and cheese enchilada plate and it was not that great. I am going to choose somewhere else next time.
A sister from Pinetop took our picture for us.
Another windy day.
Our temple names.
Grateful to Jared for doing the research.
