Mosiah 27:13
Nevertheless he cried again, saying: Alma, arise and stand forth, for why persecutest thou the church of God? For the Lord hath said: This is my church, and I will establish it; and nothing shall overthrow it, save it is the transgression of my people.

10/19 General Conference
"Giving Our Spirits Control Over Our Bodies"
"I suppose most of us fail to fully appreciate what others do for us until they are gone. I knew Barbara was always busy, but I did not fully understand the constant family, Church, and community demands upon her time. There were daily consecrated efforts repeated thousands of times through the years that kept our family functioning. And through it all, no one in our family ever heard her raise her voice or say an unkind word."
RWC: There are few coincidences for covenant people, and therefore no important person is in our lives by accident.

Love, Forgiveness, Eternal Life.
I found a Book of Mormon with Sheri's testimony in it when she was 11 years old:
"I believe that there is a Father, Son, and a Holy Ghost. They guide us throughout our lives, and help us each day. I also believe that sometime soon Jesus Christ our Savior will come again and visit the earth. I hope that you can cherish this book as much as I have. Read through it and pray about it and you will know it is true. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost I say these things, Amen."
-Sheri
Sheri also wanted to fly over Russia and drop Book of Mormon's in a time when missionary work was not allowed in that country.
I also found a Book of Mormon in which I wrote in the front, 28 Truths Found in the Book of Mormon.
I am on a quest to find rum extract. I texted my friend Debbie and she said she thinks she got it at Bashas in Taylor. So I headed for Taylor on a cold and blustery day.
If you can't find something at Safeway or Walmart, Bashas will have it. Kacey and Jared found my Dr. Pepper 10 at the Bashas in Round Valley and now I found my rum extract at the Bashas in Taylor. I also went across the street to Walmart and bought some blankets, and things I forgot to get yesterday. I also bought Olaf to show to Charlie on Sunday.
We tried to take cookies and the Thanksgiving game to Tanna but she was not home. She did tell us earlier in the month that she was going to be gone hunting on Thanksgiving. We also went to the Howard's and had a nice visit with them. We took them chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and enough Thanksgiving cards for six people to play the game. We visited for awhile and then headed home. The wind was blowing and it was cold!
We got a box from Autumn today. It had blueberry apple and strawberry toppings, two magnets with Scarlett's picture on them, and a handprint of Scarlett's little hand with the date on it. What a kind and thoughtful gift. We are so grateful for Autumn and the love she has shown to us.
Two Christmas movies today:
Lifetime: "Christmas Pen Pals" starring Sarah Drew and Niall Matter.
Hallmark: "The Christmas Club"starring Elizabeth Mitchell, and Cameron Mathison.
The Church has a new video out about the
First Christmas. We have not seen it yet.
