Atonement
DC 18:11
For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him.
Jesus Christ, Antemortal Existence of
Abraham 3:27
And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? And one answered like unto the Son of Man: Here am I, send me. And another answered and said: Here am I, send me. And the Lord said: I will send the first.
Alma 56:18-40
When have you had to stand up for something you believe in?
*Once I was asked to not pray or meditate for a month as part of a training exercise for an online position. I told my leader I could not do that and ask to get my money back and withdraw my name from the program. Can you imagine not praying for a month?
DC 124:16-30
What can we do to make our homes a place that Christ may come and dwell?
*melanieryerse:"I remember seeing an ad that said something like this - 'put good in, get good out!' If it is our goal to be good and we want our kids to be good as well, we need to put good in our homes. These good things include daily scriptures as a family, couple and individuals, prayers, family time, working together, forgiveness, kindness, service, wholesome media choices, keeping the commandments, etc.
General Conference
The Godhead and the Plan of Salvation
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
"Because we have the truth about the Godhead and our relationship to Them, the purpose of life, and the nature of our eternal destiny, we have the ultimate road map and assurance for our journey through mortality."
I worked on my Primary lesson today and read lesson 17 in the Gordon B. Hinckley manual, "The Power of the Book of Mormon.
Today was a day of anticipation. Tomorrow we start as temple workers in the Snowflake temple. I must say, I am a little nervous.
My co-ordinator, Sister Winhardt called and said she looked forward to meeting me. James's co-ordinator, Brother Coltrin called and said we would have an opportunity tomorrow morning at 7 to introduce ourselves during prayer meeting. That made me even more nervous.
I did a little research and discovered that out of the 157 dedicated temples, President Hinckley dedicated 84 of them. That is amazing!
We went to bed early this evening with a plan to get up around 4:30 since we need to leave for the temple around 5:30. No TV tonight!
