"The Correct Name of the Church"
President Russell M. Nelson
"My dear brothers and sisters, I promise you that if we will do our best to restore the correct name of the Lord's Church, He whose Church this is will pour down His power and blessings upon the heads of the Latter-day Saints, the likes of which we have never seen. We will have the knowledge and power of God to help us take the blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord."
We left for the temple this morning around 5:40.
The Brimhall's did our training today and it was unique and interesting. President Brimhall explained what a investiture and an endowment is. He told a story of when he worked for the Benson Foundation and a farmer in Arizona wanted to donate 10 million dollars. This farmer laid out in detail how exactly he wanted this endowment to be set up and what the terms were. He likened this to the temple endowment and how our Heavenly Father covenants with us to do certain things contingent upon us obeying His commandments.
Oh and by the way, this farmer lived in a small three bedroom home and drove an old pickup truck. Brother Phelps, the name of the farmer, wanted the funds set up to help developing countries in the field of agriculture. I couldn't help but think of Brother Westbrook and his mission to Algeria. Perhaps he should have gone through the Benson Foundation.
As we were entering Shumway Valley James pointed out to me three small bull elk grazing in a farmer's field.
I had the opportunity to help in the baptistry and in initiatory several times today. Maybe someday I will have the initiatory endowment memorized.
I saw Anne Williams, President Williams's wife when I was in initiatory. I know how much she loves coming to the temple. I told her to say hello to President Williams for me.
Other sisters I associated or worked with today: Sister DeWitt, Sisters Humphries, Fish, Turley, Wenhardt, and Reidhead. I love them all!
The Bowers' who are on a leave of absence from our shift came in today to do the sealings for relatives of Sister Bowers. She had a picture of the 11 daughters of this family. They were all beautiful!
I love the Bowers. Their daughter lives in Tyler, Texas and they are from the same town where Palmer's grandparents live. I think the town is Gilmore.
We had no cinnamon rolls left. James couldn't help but notice that the bunch of bananas laying next to the cinnamon rolls had not been touched.
This afternoon I worked on my blog, did some walking, and started preparing for the lesson I will be teaching tomorrow. The gospel certainly keeps us busy, and I love it! Oh yes, I had time for two Hallmark movies while I was walking and working on my blog. One of them was a brand new one!
