Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd
DC 50:44
Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the good shepherd, and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall.
Book of Mormon
Helaman 15:7-16:18
New Testament: Ephesians: "For the Perfecting of the Saints"
Ephesians 6
Ephesians 6:11-17
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
General Conference
Spiritual Capacity

"As Jesus Christ's faith disciple, you can receive personal inspiration and revelation, consistent with His commandments, that is tailored to you."
I read this quote this morning:
"We can give our children education, lessons, athletics and the arts, and material possessions, but if we do not give them faith in Christ, we have given little." - Kevin W. Pearson, GC April, 2009.

James and I watched the first session of conference by ourselves.
During the first part of the afternoon session, Ian, Sheri, Max, Evan, and Joshua arrived. Sheri and Ian finished watching the second session with us.
Our ward had a Relief Society activity at the church for the women's session. I invited Sheri to go but she did not want to. I texted Tamara and Kerri and asked to be excused. They were very sweet about it. My friend Lynda Price who just got off a mission wanted me to go with her and I had to tell her I wasn't going. They were having a potluck dinner and then watching the broadcast and the Relief Society was providing desert. Tamara said there were around 30 sisters who attended, which is a good turnout for our ward.
At home before the broadcast Sheri made chocolate chip cookies and I made zuppa tuscana soup.
Sheri and I watched the broadcast together. Sister Cordon announced the changes to the Young Women's program and introduced the new theme. My favorite talk was President Nelson's. He also announced the new temples in this session which was kind of unusual because he usually does this in the last session.
We are pleased to announce plans to construct temples in the following locations: Freetown, Sierra Leone; Orem, Utah; Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea; Bentonville, Arkansas; Bacolod, Philippines; McAllen, Texas; Coban, Guatemala; and Taylorsville, Utah.
We watched the newest Hallmark movie, "Over the Moon in Love."
