Alma 9:19-34
*According to Alma 9:19-23, what gifts and blessings had the Nephites, (including the people of Ammonihah), experienced because they were the Lord's covenant people?
*What are some ways we can stay true to the light and knowledge we have received?
DC 84:17-28
18-25, The greater priesthood holds the key of the knowledge of God; 26-32, The lesser priesthood holds the key of the ministering of angels and of the preparatory gospel;
What authority did John the Baptist receive from the angel?
*"To overthrow the kingdom of the Jews, and to make straight the way of the Lord before the face of his people, to prepare them for the coming of the Lord, in whose hand is given all power." (verse 28). John the Baptist was a preparer and he held the Aaronic priesthood or the preparatory priesthood.
General Conference
Trust in the Lord and Lean Not
Bonnie H. Cordon
"When we physically lean toward one side or another, we move off
center, we are out of balance, and we tip.
When we spiritually lean to our own understanding we lean away from our Savior. If we lean, we are not centered; we are not balanced; we are not focused on Christ."
49 years and counting!
James placed a card on my study desk at Cathi and Terry's this morning. It was the first thing I read. I am so grateful to him. He is my best friend, my priesthood leader, and the love of my life. I wish everyone could be as happy as we are!
To celebrate we went to Biscuits for breakfast. I got the same thing I got yesterday, Joe's Scramble, only this time I ate every bite. James got the corned beef, potatoes, hashbrowns, and eggs.
When we returned to Cathi's James put on his work clothes. He is patching a section of drywall in Cathi and Terry's garage. We he finishes he keeps in, takes a shower, and changes his clothes. It is time for me to stop my gospel study and get ready to go home to Vernon. I am sad we were not able to get our new windshield because we never heard back from our insurance company, National General. On the way out of town we stopped at the Chandler Costco so James could get some batteries for his hearing aid. We also got steaks, cough drops, and a few other items of groceries. We ended up spending around $100. Away we go! We are still reading from "The Shack". Of course we went through Globe.
Our first stop on the way home was at the Burger King in Show Low for a Whopper Jr. Next stop was the Vernon post office. We got the book, "Joseph Smith, a Rough Stone Rolling," and two checks from Diana R. I also got a thank you card from Rachel and a fidget spinner. It is 65 degrees, overcast, and we get a little rain. Perfect weather! As I am unloading my suitcases and putting everything away a feeling of gratitude comes over me for my beautiful home and where we live. We are truly blessed!
This evening we watch an old Taylor Cole movie on Hallmark. James cooks steaks and I make some lemon pepper asparagus. The perfect dinner. These steaks are divine!
I finished reading "Dad's Who Stay and Fight" and did some other studying. As we are sitting outside on our bedroom porch I head cows mooing. We have not seen any cows since the 2014 fire. James takes off on the Razr to check it out and says he saw 215 cows. Oh dear, and this before we get our fence up.
I love James because:
He is an awesome grandpa!
He can cook!
He loves to study the gospel.
He is a hard worker.
This was a service project he did for
Kim and Brian.
He likes to take me out to eat.
El Cupido's after the Snowflake temple
This is a chinese restaurant in Phoenix
that Kim recommended. We took Alex, Michael,
and Kim here last year as part of our
scripture study, lunch program.
He looks handsome in his suit
and purple tie.
He is a wonderful father.
He helps me with projects for my
Primary class.
Here he is making paper airplanes.
He takes me to the temple!
Happy Anniversary Honey!
I love you!
