Fall in Vermont
3 Nephi 6:15-30
Why is it so important to follow our leaders, especially in these the latter days?
Answer: Because these "men are inspired from heaven." (v.20)
There was a great divide, in these years just before the coming of Christ, between the righteous and the wicked, just as there is a similar divide happening today before the Second Coming of Christ. "Some were lifted up in pride and others were exceedingly humble." The parallels today are not by chance. Christ is coming again. Satan knows it so he is ramping up all his efforts again. The chasm between the wicked and the righteous is widening at an extremely fast pace, just as it did in this chapter. How does this happen? By allowing Satan to stir up our hearts to do iniquity. We must decide whose side we are on, the Savior's or Satan's. There will be no middle ground. By following our church leaders we are choosing to follow the Savior.
GC: ' There is Power in the Book' by Elder LeGrand R. Curtis, Jr.
" The greatest power of the Book of Mormon is its impact in bringing us closer to Jesus Christ."

Our lesson today in our Primary class was: "Jesus Christ Teaches the Nephites to Pray." Braylin, Curtis, Kacey, and Zemira were all in my class.
After church was over James stayed to home teach Virgil C. Afterwards he drove me home and then went with his partner Rick, and visited Millie and Jerry, Kip's family, and George and Ruth. It must feel nice to get it all done in one day. That never happens for me. I stayed home ate, and took a nap.
I love this picture of Michael taken a few years back.
When James got home he fed himself while I got ready for the marriage class.
Anne arrived a little after six with some cookies and milk. She is the teacher of the class. Only two other couples showed up, Cammy and Thomas, and Sandra and John. We had a great class anyway. We discussed the family proclamation and how its principles apply to us. Afterwards we had a nice visit around the milk and cookies.
This thing is called a peacock grasshopper.
Weird.
Sheri texted me this afternoon and said that Evan told her this last night: The cabin feels like home. He misses it and you and dad.
Well guess what? I miss him too!
I sent this to Addy because she is such a
Harry Potter fan.
Oh I forgot to mention that one of the couples that James home teaches saw a jaguarundi carrying off a rabbit in their yard.
Creepy. Its tail is as long as its body.
It was another one of those great Sabbath days.
Which temple?
