2 Nephi 29:1-14
Many Gentiles will reject the Book of Mormon - They will say, We need no more Bible - The Lord speaks to many nations - He will judge the world out of the books which will be written.
How have these verses increased your appreciation for the Book of Mormon?

Look to the Book, Look to the Lord

The elk from last night were still here in the morning. As the sun comes up they begin to leave.
James was going with youth to do baptisms but he wasn't needed. It's a good thing because he forgot to take his temple bag to the Church.
Sheri and I went shopping at the Walmart in Taylor. She bought all of my groceries because I bought food for her family this week.
While we were gone James found some time to study his lesson.
Notice the heater going full blast.
These three stayed up until 5 a.m. having a great
time playing games and building castles.
Too bad we didn't know this when we were at Walmart:
It's back!
For lunch James and I had New York dogs from Sonic. We made grilled cheese sandwiches and cheese crisps for the boys and took Ian a Sonic cheeseburger.
Sheri worked on my new puzzle and I helped her for awhile but I am not the expert puzzle doer that she is.
James, Rowan, and Evan chopped and stacked wood, burned brush and while burning brush James almost burned himself when the Cat died in the fire. After the work, James took the boys to chocolate lake, which is full, and to Buckelieu Falls which are running. The also saw elk and deer
For dinner Sheri made homemade macaroni and cheese and chicken tenders. I tried a different chicken tender recipe and while I had them on broil the parchment paper caught on fire. I should have known to take it out, but it didn't say I needed to so I didn't. We had two fires today, one outside and one inside. What a fun day this was!

Someone posted this on Facebook today and it brought back lots of memories. My best friend in high school, Polly, lived her room was one of the motel rooms. It was so fun to spend the night. We would put up a glass to the wall to see if we could here anything in the room next to us.
