Jesus Christ, Jehovah
1 Nephi 21:26
And I will feed the that oppress thee with their own flesh; they shall be drunken with their own blood as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Book of Mormon
1 Nephi 4


General Conference Daily
"Opening Our Heart"
Elder Gerald N. Lund
4/2008

Oct 2019 General Conference
"Witnesses, Aaronic Priesthood Quorums, and Young Women Classes"
President Russell M. Nelson
"You will remember that I have invited the youth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to enlist in the Lord's youth battalion to participate in the greatest cause on earth today - the gathering of Israel. I issued this invitation to our youth because they are unusually gifted in reaching out to others and sharing what they believe in a convincing fashion. The cause of the gathering is an essential part of helping to prepare the world and its people for the Second Coming of the Lord."

"Adjustment to Strengthen Youth"
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"Today we announce organizational changes for youth at ward and stake levels. As President Nelson explained, Sister Bonnie H. Cordon will discuss changes for young women this evening. One purpose for the changes I will now discuss is to strengthen Aaronic Priesthood holders, quorums, and quorum presidencies. These changes align our practice with Doctrine and Covenants 107:15, which read, 'The bishopric is the presidency of this Aaronic priesthood, and holds the keys or authority of the same."

"The truths of the Book of Mormon have the power to heal, comfort, restore, succor, strengthen, console and cheer our souls."
President Russell M. Nelson

From Sheri Dew's book "Women and the Priesthood":
Have you asked the Lord to teach you what it feels like when He's communicating with you through the Holy Ghost? The scriptures are the handbook for learning the language of revelation.

Evan is sick, he can't keep any food on his stomach. Brian gave him a blessing. Trina was working at Mercy Gilbert in the ER check-in. She got him checked in as quickly as she could. He was on a drip because he was dehydrated and then sent home. We are praying for him.

I went around and took the sheets off of all the beds in the house and washed and dried them all. This evening James helped me put them all back on the beds. 

This morning I helped James put the Razr back in the garage. I have been asking him to do it for awhile. I steered it while he towed it with the truck to the driveway. The hardest part was getting it into the garage the last few feet. We had to push it, but we did it. James said he couldn't have done it without me. Was he saying that just to be nice? No, I think it was really a two person job.

I have taken a vacation from my book business but I am ready to get started up again. This morning I listened to the webinar. It's a slow start but I will get there.

James left after we got the Razr back in the house for New Mexico. Since he knows when his court date is, next Monday, he wants to do some research to make sure his statements are accurate when he goes before the judge. He was gone just a few hours, from about 10:15-1:30.

When he returned I read to him from Aunt Dimity Next of Kin and then he took a nap. 

I got a text from our friend Kerri asking if she could come over for a few minutes. Of course I said yes. She is being audited because her mother lives with her. She had written a letter and wanted me to read it, which I did. There was one small error which she corrected. The letter explains why Kerri's mom needs to live with her.

Kerri helped James on his computer. She showed him how to transfer his old files to his new computer. He was grateful for her help.

The frustrations of living in the country include: muddy roads, and slow internet. The internet is driving us crazy right now.
