Jesus Christ Atonement through
Alma 7:11
And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
Book of Mormon
Moroni 10:8-34
*What blessings did Moroni teach would come to those who have faith, hope, and charity?
What spiritual gifts should we seek?
Elder Gene R. Cook discussed the strength of discovering and using the spiritual gifts given to each person:
"One of the greatest processes you go through in life is to discover yourself. to find those gifts and capacities God has given you. He has given you great talents, the smallest part of which you have just begun to utilize. Trust the Lord to assist you in unlocking the door to those gifts. Some of us have created imaginary limits in our minds. There is literally a genius locked up inside each of us. Don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise" (Trust in the Lord, In Hope, 1988, 90-91).
Doctrine Covenants Favorite Scriptures
DC 38:42
And go ye out from among the wicked. Save yourselves. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord. Even so. Amen.
General Conference
The Voice of the Lord
Elder Neil L. Andersen
"I promise you that as you prepare your spirit and come with the anticipation that you will hear the voice of the Lord, thoughts and feelings will come into your mind that are customized especially for you. You have already felt them in this conference, or you will as you study the messages in the weeks ahead."
Happy Birthday Kim!
Kim and Brian were sick this year and not
able to come up to celebrate her birthday with us at the cabin.
We really missed them. We are so grateful for them and
there example of love and service.
Next year Kim, and there better be snow!!
Sheri, Ben, Max, Evan, Michael and Joshua all joined us at sacrament meeting this morning. The Applegate family spoke about the "Light the World" initiative. It was enjoyable. I especially liked Jimmy telling about how Shelly has been able to visit his brother, who is a non-member, on her mission. She asked her dad, Jimmy, to send him a Book of Mormon with his testimony in it.
I had both classes today in Primary. The lesson was on tithing and testimony. These are the kids who attended: Colter, Curtis, Chism, (Bishop Miller's nephew), Zemira, and Talena.
James had a bad coughing spell during Sunday School and had to go outside so we went home after the second hour.
When we got home Sheri was cooking bacon, and lots of it. I had some bacon and frozen waffles for "brunch." After we ate James and I went in to take a nap. Sheri knocked on our door and said they were leaving so I got up to take a picture. Joshua was going to go with them but he wanted to stay and since he was feeling better I told him he could.
Alex and Shayna left first.
James seems to be photo bombing this picture.
This one too. Max is hiding behind Ollie.
I made a chocolate bundt cake for Brother Wilhelm's birthday, which was yesterday but he was gone to Prescott to a wrestling match. James gave it to one of the kids because John and Sandra were still asleep.
Drop off at the Wilhelm's
I made Joshua some chicken noodle soup and a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of milk for dinner. James and I just snacked.
We watched a new Hallmark movie this evening, "A Royal New Year's Eve" and then we said goodnight to everyone and went to bed. Happy New Year!
An enjoyable hedgehog massage.
The Elmer Family
Jillie and her family had their baby blessed today.
They came from Houston to visit.
I wish I could remember the baby's name.
It is a girl.
