Jesus Christ, Crucifixion
DC 54:1
Behold, thus saith the Lord, even Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, even he who was crucified for the sins of the world -
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 7:15-8:4 & 2 Nephi 27-28
* What part does the Holy Ghost play in conversion?
-As we exercise faith, repent of our sins, and obey the commandments, we receive a witness born of the Spirit that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. We are visited "by the power and Spirit of God," (v.21) as we listen to testimonies of apostles and prophets. The Spirit testifies of truth and touches hearts that are humble and teachable.
How can we become more deeply converted? What lack I yet? How can we be a better influence for good?
Without the Holy Spirit we will not know what is truth and it will not prick our heart to change. A mighty change of heart to completely follow the Savior and His gospel is an indication of true conversion and happens through the power of the Holy Ghost.

"I testify that the vision President Joseph F. Smith received is true. I bear witness that every person can come to know it is true."
I looked out the window this morning from our bedroom and saw a lone elk. James couldn't get up fast enough but he missed seeing her. She must have been late for an appointment because she was gone fast.
Our book arbitrage session this morning was quite enlightening. We learned how to set filters and buy books. Neither one of us can just sit and listen for very long, we have to be walking around the table or doing something else.
James left for awhile this morning and while he was gone I made Jared's yummy cookies that he made while we were at his house. I am visiting the Grapp's this afternoon and I always take the kids cookies. Cookies and cookie dough are both tasty.
I left the house around 12:30 even though I am not scheduled to pick up my partner Marie until 2. I went into town to wash my car. I was too embarrassed to pick her up in such a mud splattered car.
I was at Marie's a little before two. She was down the hill from her house waiting for me. When she got in she informed me that she had put diapers on all six of her dogs. I wish she would have given me a picture of that. I guess they have been using her home for a bathroom and she is tired of it. I wouldn't want to be the one to change those diapers.
I introduced Marie to the Grapp clan. They seemed to warm right up to her. Emsley had her stuffed pony I gave her for her birthday and came right over and snuggled up on my lap. Tildy wanted to play Old Maids. I had the last draw and didn't pick the Old Maid. Tildy was sad and did something that got her grounded to her room. I felt terrible. Afterwards I came home and wrote her a note that next time I would be the Old Maid.
Marie said a prayer before we left and it was very sweet. Cammy is so excited that her brother Jared is going through the temple for the very first time. He is also being sealed to his wife and two little boys. Thomas will be his escort.
James had put my cookie dishes in the dishwasher while I was gone. I certainly appreciate his thoughtfulness.
I walked and blogged, and walked and blogged this afternoon. This evening James and I did another book arbitrage session.
Tomorrow we will be setting up our sellers account on Amazon.
She's pretty excited!
Isn't a want really a need?

So many cute card ideas on Pinterest!
Oh the memories! This was the last
FHE we had in Chandler before moving
to Vernon.
This is a photo I found on Instagram
The poster is Oldkyrenian. Not sure
what or where that is.
Reminds me of a photo we had of
Stacy when she was a baby.
She looks worried.
