Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
DC 35:2
I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world, even as many as will believe on my name, that they may become the sons of God,even one n me as I am one in the Father, as the Father is one in me, that we may be one.

General Conference
Sisters Participation in the Gathering of Israel
President Russell M. Nelson
"My fourth invitation, for you who are of age, is to participate fully in Relief Society. I urge you to study the current Relief Society purpose statement. It is inspiring. It may guide you in developing your own purpose statement for you own life. I also entreat you to savor the truths in the Relief Society declaration published almost 20 years ago. A framed copy of this declaration hangs on the wall in the office of the First Presidency. I am thrilled every time I read it. It describes who you are and who the Lord needs you to be at this precise time as you do your part to help gather scattered Israel."
The Minnard's and Brother Wright from the stake were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. It was Brother Minnard's first time speaking in sacrament meeting and he did a good job speaking about family history and temple work.
Brother Wright told about his families conversion in 1965 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He said his father was inactive for years. The bishop asked him to come back to the ward because he was needed and six months later he was called as the new bishop.
"The Atonement leads us back to Heavenly Father. All covenants we make are refreshed through the sacrament. We must remember and then go and do, led by our faith and the promptings we receive. Through repentance we can be made whole." Brother Wright's favorite scripture is Helaman 5:12, the same as Ben's.
The second hour I attended the teacher's council meeting led by Brother Allen. We talked about how to lead inspired discussions. One of the sisters asked a question about how you know that the Spirit is prompting you and that led the group into an inspired discussion. It fit right in to the topic for the day.
After the block James and I attended a family history coordinating meeting. We still do not have the list of members that the bishop wants us to work with so our meeting was cut short. We will meet again on March 31st.
I really wanted to do 10,000 steps today even though it is Sunday. Around 8,000 I felt extremely guilty and stopped. I am doing a challenge on Pacer. The challenge is to get as many 10,000 step days in the month of March as possible. This challenge almost caused me to lose sight of what is really important to me...keeping the commandments and keeping the Sabbath day holy.
No "When Calls the Heart." I am so sad. They are taking a creative hiatus after only the third episode of the season. It's because of the Lori Loughlin situation. They have to "get rid" of her character. How sad.

James and his partner Dave went out to visit Anthony today. Dave has a ranch in Luna, New Mexico. He said this year he lost 19 cows in a fire, and 40 calves who were eaten by wolves. He has decided he cannot make a living with this ranch. He is the same age we are and still, like us, needs to produce an income. He is going to Algeria to teach them how to ranch and hopefully they will be more successful than he has been. There is a need in that country for good sources of protein. If the government will give him $3 million for his program, OPEC will donate another $13 million. OPEC is the organization of companies that sell oil to the world. I guess he has connections to do this. He was in the military and served quite awhile in the Middle East so he has experience dealing with the people. I hope he is successful.
So cute!
The most adorable picture!
