Jesus Christ Atonement through
Romans 8:32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Book of Mormon
Ether 4:1-19
Moroni wrote that the brother of Jared recorded in his vision all the inhabitants of the earth from beginning to end. This vision reveals "all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof" (2 Nephi 27:10). Moroni explained that "there never were greater things made manifest" than what the brother of Jared saw (Ether 4:4). We know Moroni sealed a copy of this vision with the plates he delivered to Joseph Smith. (Ether 4:5;5:1) Moroni further informed us of the conditions the Lord indicated must exist for this sealed portion of the record to come forth. The scriptures indicate we must repent; exercise faith in the Lord, like the brother of Jared did; and become sanctified. (Ether 4:6-7).

Pray always, and I will pour out my Spirit upon you, and great shall be your blessing - yea, even more than if you should obtain treasures of earth and corruptibleness to the extent thereof.
General Conference
The Plan and the Proclamation
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
"Inevitably, the actions of those who try to follow God's plan of salvation can cause misunderstanding or even conflict with family members or friends who do not believe its principles. Such conflict is always so. Every generation that has sought to follow God's plan has had challenges. ...Whatever the cause of conflict with those who do not understand or believe God's plan, those who do understand are always commanded to choose the Lord's way..."
James is sick. I warned him that if he kept kissing me he was going to get sick, and sure enough, he did.
I wrapped presents today. I am taking some down to the valley with me tomorrow so we won't have such a big load when we go down on the 23rd. I am still trying to decide how I am going to get Jared's family's gifts to them. His kids will be in the valley for Christmas.
I talked to Wendy DeWitt today on the phone. Sister Wilhelm wants me to pick up something from her while I am in the valley.
These are the Christmas movies I watched while wrapping presents: "Christmas Hope," "Our First Christmas," "Dear Secret Santa."
Kathy Crane brought us dinner this evening. Homemade chicken noodle soup, biscuits, and a piece of cake for each of us. We are grateful to have such good neighbors.
James and I dropped off Curtis Wilhelm's birthday gift tonight to an empty house. I will check in the morning and make sure he got his tackle box with lures.

We had our first fire of the season this evening.
We still don't have our tree decorated.
The Wilhelm's are having their tenth baby and
it's a girl. Boys 6 Girls 4.
California is still on fire.
