Alma 2:19-38
* According to Alma 2:28, why did the Lord strengthen the Nephites?
* How can you follow Alma's example when you stand against wickedness?
* What is one way you can stand against wickedness now?
Ether 7-8
7 Orihah reigns in righteousness; Amid usurpation and strife, the rival kingdoms of Shule and Cohor are set up; Prophets condemn the wickedness and idolatry of the people, who then repent.
8 There is strife and contention over the kingdom; Akish forms an oath-bound secret combination to slay the king; Secret combinations are of the devil and result in the destruction of nations; Modern Gentiles are warned against the secret combination that will seek to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries.
DC 76:38-49
Sons of perdition suffer eternal damnation; all others gain some degree of salvation;
How can the sons of perdition "reign" in eternity?
* They will reign under laws of the kingdom of the Devil, and of which we have had numerous illustrations in human history during the dark ages of ignorance, superstition, tyranny, and iniquity. Evil passions of human beings and evil spirits rage, unrestrained by the gospel in the Devil's kingdom.

"We honor children who strive to live pure and obedient lives. I have witnessed the strength of many children throughout the world. They stand resilient, "steadfast and immovable" in a variety of challenging circumstances and environments. These children understand their divine identity, feel Heavenly Father's love for them, and seek to obey His will."
Today I read from "Dads Who Stay and Fight," the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, which I am trying to memorize, my Primary lesson, and Jesus Christ in the topical guide.
The trees were frosted when I got up this morning.
James and I went to town today. We left around 11. I had a lunch date at 11:30 with my friend Pam at Persnikkity's. She offered to buy my lunch but I told her no because I was ordering something for James. Little did I know that tomorrow is her birthday and I should have bought her lunch. I did give her a conference quote attached to a bottle of diet Seven-Up.
We both ordered salads. I had the chicken oriental salad and it was delicious. Pam ordered the nuts and berries salad and said it was delicious too. This really is my favorite place to eat in Show Low, unless I want mexican food of course, and then it's Licano's.

I did some grocery shopping at Walmart while James went to Home Depot to get some screws, etc., for the trailer he is remodeling. When we got home we watched an episode of Victoria. She begins to like Albert and finally asks him to marry her.
I ordered a 125GB iPad on Amazon today. Because of my Amazon Prime membership there was no shipping charges, I get 5% off, on an already discounted price. I also had $52 to use from credit card points. They won't deliver it to a PO number so I had it sent to Cathi's. Brian and Kim can bring it up when they come next week.
I am so excited! I also got a lavender case for it.
James changed our ac filters today. I think it's
been awhile.
I also ordered a years subscription to the Ensign for my friend Charlotte. I had to call her and get her address. I was happy to hear that her kids all sent her flowers for mother's day.
We got our income tax papers from the accountant today. We don't owe any income tax but we owe the accountant over $700.
