Mosiah 11:1-19
King Noah leads his people into wickedness.
* Why are righteous people willing to follow counsel even when it requires a difficult change in their lives?
* Why do you think the people were willing to support Noah in his wickedness?
* What can we do when people all around us are living unrighteously?
3 Nephi 1
Nephi, the son of Helaman, departs out of the land, and his son Nephi keeps the records - Though signs and wonders abound, the wicked plan to slay the righteous - The night of Christ's birth arrives - The sign is given, and a new star arises - Lyings and deceivings increase, and the Gadianton robbers slaughter many. About A.D. 1-4.
DC 58:44-56
The Saints are to purchase their inheritance and gather in Missouri;
* Why is God's house a house of order?

The Greatest Among You
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"God's greatest reward goes to those who serve without
expectation of reward."
I found this quote in the book I am reading, "The Contrite Spirit:"
"The temple can bring to us a sanctifying growth -
but only as we move from being acquainted with the temple, to having experience with the temple, to knowing true worship
in the temple, not as spectators, but as participants in the process of giving our hearts to God, which is how sanctification comes."
- Elder Marion D. Hanks
I read two chapters from our book to James before he left for the valley this morning. He didn't want to leave too early otherwise he wouldn't be able to pick up green chili burros for Cathi and Terry.
I wonder if we will see anymore snow this year.
Anna is selling homemade Mother's day cards on Facebook. I ordered one from her for Lois. Tricia told me thank you.
I had an appointment with Hailey today for visiting teaching. I called and change it to next week so I would have more time to work on my talk for Saturday. I worked on it for four hours today.
I also read the 8th lesson in the Gordon B. Hinckley manual, "We Look to Christ." It was a good one! I spent two hours working on my blog.

Our new General Relief Society President, Sister Bingham spoke at the U.N. this past week. The neatest thing about the clip I watched was what one of the other women on the U.N. panel who complimented the LDS church on the amount of aid they have given in the past.
The man sitting next to Sister Bingham,
Anwar Kman is a Muslim. At one point
in the discussion he said: "What would
Jesus do?"
James called me this afternoon and said he thinks he has the flu. I texted Kim and ask her to make him a flu bomb using her DoTerra oils, etc. Not only did she make it but she delivered it to James.
He was able to finish repairing broken water lines around 9 p.m.
Jared texted me a link to the Purple Store. How exciting! I picked out some earrings and a purple cocoa mug.
Every city should have one!
Can't you just see me wearing these earring and sipping
cocoa from this cup!
As is my habit, I open the blinds and look outside several times a day to see if there are any animals in the yard. Imagine my surprise when I did so this evening and saw 9 elk!
There are only 7 in this picture.
Two of them were a little camera shy.

I think she could be a model.
