The day after James leaves
30 elk show up in the yard.
It was an exciting morning for me
even if there weren't any bulls.
I think I only got shots of 23 of them.
Today is the Primary race in Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.
James and I already voted for Ted Cruz on the early ballot. I will post the results tomorrow.
A terrible thing happened today in Brussels, Belgium.
When missionaries are hurt in a terrorists attack it hits very close to home.
My gospel study for today went something like this:
Jacob 5:19-34 - The Time of Christ (vv. 15-28)
'God saw that Israel (the old root tree) was saved and produced good fruit. The scattered branches of Israel also
produced good fruit, except for the Nephites and Lamanites,
whose fruit was partly good and partly bad.'
General Conference:
"That They Do Always Remember Him" - Elder Claudio R.M. Costa
'I believe that starting a tradition of telling the
stories of Jesus to our children and families
is a very special way to keep the
Sabbath day holy in our homes.'
"The Holy Ghost as Your Companion" - President Henry B. Eyring
'If we partake of the sacrament in faith, the Holy
Ghost will then be able to protect us
and those we love from the temptations
that come with increasing intensity and frequency.
The companionship of the Holy Ghost makes what is good more
attractive and temptation less compelling.
Just as the Holy Ghost strengthens us against evil,
He also gives us the power to discern truth from falsehood.
The truth that matters most is verified only by revelation from God.
Our human reason and the use of our physical senses will not be enough. We live in a time when even the wisest will be hard-pressed to distinguish truth from
clever deception.'
I loved this talk by President Eyring. It is one of my favorites from this conference.
March 2016 Ensign
"Spiritual Rehabilitation" - Ron Simmons
'Recognizing the similarities between physical rehabilitation and
spiritual rehabilitation can change our perspective and give us patience to persist. Just as each patient progresses little by little, with diligence, we too grow spiritually "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little."'
"Finding New Life in Christ"
'Celebrate the Savior's victory over sin and death.'

Studying the gospel is a big part of my life. I love to study. It is a little harder for me to share my testimonies with others but it is something I know I must do. Getting up in fast and testimony meeting to share my testimony is not that difficult, especially when I feel the Spirit telling me to do so. Sharing my testimony with my Primary class and others who are members of the Church is not difficult. It is sharing with others who are not members that is difficult for me.
I cleaned the family/living room floor today and was going to polish it but I didn't have enough polish. I was going to go to the store but decided I would wait until I get to Chandler and I can polish the floor next week.
I finished paying bills today and watched "Chopped" while I was working. Don't ask my why but I love this show. I also watched "Pioneer Woman" and Trisha Yearwood's cooking show.
This evening I watched "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, from Paris with Love."
One of my favorite episodes. Oliver finally closes the chapter with his wife Holly when she comes to visit and makes her feelings known. He shows his love for Shane by installing a porch swing for her at 2 am. They still haven't kissed though.
