34th operating temple

Dedicated: 2-4 July 1985

3 Nephi 26

Jesus expounds all things from the beginning to the end; Babes and children utter marvelous things that cannot be written; Those in the Church of Christ have all things in common among them. A.D. 34.

Alma 30:12-28

*What teachings have you been exposed to that are similar to Korihor's teachings?

*According to Alma 30:18, what did Korihor's teachings lead the people to do?

*Why do you think these teachings lead people to give in to temptation?

*What can we learn from these verses about the dangers of false doctrines?

*If your friend begins to criticize your beliefs, saying that they limit your freedom, how might you respond?

DC 99:1-8

1-8, John Murdock is called to proclaim the gospel, and those who receive him receive the Lord and will obtain mercy.

What responsibility rests on our shoulders since we know the truth?

*We are to share it with others.

General Conference

Our Good Shepherd

Elder Dale G. Renlund

" The Savior's mortal ministry was indeed characterized by love, compassion, and empathy. He did not disdainfully walk the dusty roads of Galilee and Judea, flinching at the sight of sinners. He did not dodge them in abject horror. No, he ate with them. He helped and blessed, lifted and edified, and replaced fear and despair with hope and joy. Like the true shepherd He is, He seeks us and finds us to offer relief and hope. Understanding His compassion and love helps us exercise faith in Him - to repent and be healed."

Happy Birthday to Jared Ammon!

One of my favorite pictures!

An amazing runner.

He loves dogs.

We had family prayer with the boys this morning. Yes, we still have Ben, Max, Evan, and Rowan. Joshua went home with his parents yesterday. After prayer I asked the boys to put all of their personal items in their rooms and to make sure their rooms were clean. Sheri and Ian are coming this afternoon.

I started cleaning and did a lot but did not get the floors done before Sheri and Ian arrived.  They brought James and I burros from Burger House.  

Sheri wants to go shopping so I take a shower and get ready to go with her. Sheri likes to go to the Taylor Walmart because it is way less busy than the one in Show Low. Max goes with us to buy magic cards.  Stacy and Paul are coming tomorrow and I am wondering what to feed them. I decide to buy steaks for all of the adults and let the kids have hamburgers and hot dogs.  

On our trip home it looks like rain all around us.  It rained in Vernon, but not at our place. It is overcast and nice and cool though.  After we put the groceries away we go to work to clean the floors. I polish the wood floors and Sheri does the tile in the kitchen and dining room and the travertine in the hall and the entry.

  Thanks Sheri!

You're the bomb!

Not sure what this face is about.

Ben helped James finished the front posts on the fence today.  They also hauled off 24 bags of garbage from our cousins reunion. On the bright side it only cost $5.  

For dinner we had grilled chicken, beans, bread and butter, and strawberry angel food cake.  Sheri and Ian went upstairs and James and I had scriptures with the boys. Joshua informed me that he had four apples today. He also snacked on saltine crackers this evening.

Kacey sent me this picture of the ride home.

I think it speaks volumes.

Curtis posted this on Facebook. He just lost his

daughter a couple of weeks ago. So sad.

He invites his friends.

This picture should have been posted on Thursday.

Emmy's horse refused to move even with the coaxing

of Hunter.  I am sure Emmy, being the action-loving girl

she is, was quite frustrating.
