Atonement
John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Jesus Christ, Appearances, Antemortal
Numbers 12:8
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Helaman 7:1-12
*How can we follow Nephi's example in these verses?
-Remember the righteousness of those who have gone before us.
-Joy in the righteousness of others.
-Sorrow because of wickedness.
-Be prayerful and seek guidance from Heavenly Father.
DC 137:1-10
*How can these verses bring us comfort when someone passes on?
-The Lord has provided the means for all who would have received the gospel with all their hearts if they had been permitted to tarry to enjoy a fulness of his blessings in the eternal world. (vs. 7) The true desire of an individuals heart is the key to his future. The means of salvation is provided for all of God's children. All children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven. (vs. 10)
General Conference
Don't Look Around, Look Up!
Elder Yoon Hwan Choi
"It is never too late to look up to Jesus Christ. His arms are always open to you. There are generations before us and after us depending on us to follow Christ so that we can be an eternal family of God."
In the back of the Ensign this month there is an article about the Book of Mormon by President Benson. I believe it is because of him that our family began reading the Book of Mormon everyday. Thank you President!
We left to go to the temple today around 9. We are starting on the 17 couple sealing cards that Jared gave us to do. It is windy again today. We ended up sealing 8 couples. Brother Baldwin was our sealer. I also saw Rick Lauritzen. Hopefully there will be time on Saturday for us to do the rest of the sealings. Jared and Kacey finished the sealings they had to do. There were 60 cards left and they did them all. Including the 34 we did with them when we went on September 9th, that is a lot of sealing! Thanks Jared and Kacey!
We didn't want to stop anywhere for lunch because we knew we had chicken enchiladas waiting for us at home. Yummy!
This afternoon after my nap and blogging for the day I went upstairs to start unloading boxes. I did one today. I know it isn't much but if I do one a week at least I will be making progress.
I am anxious to do some scrapbooks for my personal history. I really need to get organized. I also need to find the exterior hard drive that has my mom's and dad's early history on it.
James brought a tall ladder up and put new lightbulbs in my office fan, which is very high.
This evening I worked on the Primary booklets I am giving my kids at the end of the year and then we watched an episode of Heartland, "Holding Fast."
Talon went bow hunting and got his elk.
I know this is creeping Kim out, as it did me,
but I love his color.
All of Puerto Rico is without power.
People are leaving in droves.
Where will they go?
It's going to be closed for two years for renovations.
