58th operating temple
Mosiah 2:29-41
King Benjamin exhorts his people to be obedient to God.
1. What warnings did King Benjamin give his people? (see verses 32-33, 36-38.)
2. How might we know if we are beginning to follow the wrong spirit? Why is it important to recognize this early?
* Elder David A. Bednar: "We should endeavor to discern when we withdraw ourselves from the Spirit of the Lord. If something we think, see, hear, or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing, hearing, or doing that thing. If that which is intended to entertain, for example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of entertainment is not for us. Because the Spirit cannot abide that which is vulgar, crude, or immodest, then clearly such things are not for us."
3. According to verse 38 what consequences come to those who die in their sins?
4. What did King Benjamin want his people to consider and remember? (verses 40-41.)

The Mesa Easter Pageant is going on right now and one of my friends posted this picture on Facebook:
I wanted to go to the temple this morning but James was too busy with work so we rescheduled until tomorrow morning before my infusion. I stayed at Cathi's this morning studying and then a little before one James came back and we took my car to Sears to have the oil changed. While they were working on my car we went to Olive Garden for lunch. After lunch I dropped my glasses off at Chandler Eyecare. Sheri put in new lenses for me and a new nose piece. She also gave me a new glasses case. Great service!

I worked on my blog while James went out to work on Sal's sewer line. He had another mishap, and still now connection.
This evening for dinner we had a date with Ben at Eklectic Pie. We told him we would take him out once a month for reading his scriptures. Max and Evan came too because they had also read their scriptures. We had a great time and I am so sad that I did not take any pictures. We all loved the pizza because the crust is ultra thin. We talked about the scriptures. Ben has a great spirit about him and has a testimony of the scriptures. It was a fun evening.
