Alma 46:11-28
*Were these the first people to call themselves Christians? (See Alma 46:15.) When was this? (About 73 B.C.)
How could there be Christians before Christ was born?
DC 109:1-20
What were some things that the Lord promised the faithful Saints?
* You commanded Lord, and this time we listened. We took the revelation personally and seriously and look what we were able to accomplish because of it! "And now Holy Father, we ask thee to assist us, thy people, with thy grace...And in a manner that we may be found worthy, in thy sight, to secure a fulfillment of the promises which thou hast made unto us, thy people, in the revelations given unto us." You spoke. We listened. You commanded. We obeyed. Find us and this house worthy of thy promised blessings! "That thy glory may rest down upon thy people, and upon this thy house,....that it may be sanctified and consecrated to be holy, and that thy holy presence may be continually i this house; And that all people who shall enter upon the threshold of the Lord's house may feel thy power, and feel constrained to acknowledge that thou hast sanctified it, and that it is thy house, a place of thy holiness." What would happen if we took every scripture, every revelation as seriously as the Saints took Section 88?

" Heavenly Father knows what you and I need better than anyone else. As a result, He has developed a personal care package suited to each one of us. It has many components. It includes His Son and the Atonement, the Holy Ghost, commandments, scriptures, prayer, prophets, apostles, parents, grandparents, local Church leaders and many others - all to help us return to live with Him someday.
Some highlights of today's fast and testimony meeting: Brother Street's confirmation, James helped pass the sacrament, Brother Reynolds talking to Marlie who is leaving to live with her dad in Washington. The Allen's son-in-law reminding us that the gospel has everything we need for exaltation. Sister Applegate defending Joseph Smith to a friend who said Joseph was a liar. Johnny Wilhelm who is five saying that Jesus died on the cross for us. Sister Skousen, the Primary President who says she loves children and the temple. Next week is the Tucson temple dedication.
Sister Penrod gave the sweetest benediction. Sister Brewer the chorister who always has us sing every verse of the songs. I love our ward.
In Primary I was happy to have Jace back, except that he was quite disruptive. Zemira, Bailey and Talena from the older class were in my class. Also Gracie, Liana, and Marlie. I did a spotlight on Marlie since this is her last week with us, and gave her a Book of Mormon with my testimony in it and various other items, one being a journal.
Kim and Brian attended sacrament meeting but a few minutes after the block they left for home. They were still fasting and didn't want to be tempted by our green chili stew, which was delicious!
James and I watched a movie and then he took a nap. I tried to, but I couldn't sleep. I'm too sad about what's going on in Stacy's family. I ate two cookies with milk and then took a couple of Tramadol.
When James woke up we took Christopher and Mary, who were at Sister Singleton's, their wedding card and Amazon gift card.
I don't usually watch movies on Sunday, but I needed to today.
James and I watched "Summer Princess" starring Taylor Cole, and "Love at the Shore."
I told Sheri how much I appreciated Ben and how he was a bright spot in my life. I felt better afterwards.
