GC: 'Fourth Floor, Last Door' by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"The purpose of faith is not to change God's will but to empower us to act on God's will. Faith is trust - trust that God sees what we cannot and that He knows what we do not. Sometimes, trusting our own vision and judgment is not enough."
GC: 'O How Great the Plan of Our God!' by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"Brothers and sisters, we are eternal beings, without beginning and without end. We have always existed. We are the literal spirit children of divine, immortal, and omnipotent Heavenly Parents!
We come from the heavenly courts of the Lord our God. We are of the royal house of Elohim, the Most High God.
We walked with Him in our premortal life. We heard Him speak, witnessed His majesty, learned His ways."
After gospel study and scriptures and prayers with James, we went to clean the Vernon chapel. Kaeli, a friend and our Relief Society President, Ari met us there as she and her husband Chris are scheduled to help us. Christ had already made a commitment to work on his dad's ranch so he was not able to come.
We cleaned for over two hours and determined that no one has cleaned the building since James and I cleaned it on January 14th. The trash was still half full like we had left it. (I looked for my pictures of the chapel but couldn't find them.)
James and I came home and had lunch, grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, and a salad. After lunch we started our fast. We are fasting for Stacy's family. I took an hour nap and worked on my blog for awhile before it was time to get ready to go clean the temple.
I almost forgot that it is my brother Harold's 67th birthday!
Happy Birthday Harold!
We left our home at 5:45 and picked up Brother Cooper at the church. We arrived at the temple at 6 o'clock. We are doing a deep clean with the Show Low City Creek ward from our stake. There are two couples that are stake cleaning coordinators, the Pattersons' and the Brooks'. They are in charge, which means James and I are off the hook as far as making sure everything runs smoothly. We even got to clean together.! We did the men's dressing room.
One of the reasons so many members of our ward couldn't make it for the cleaning. The Show Low wrestling team were in Payson participating in sectionals. Every Show Low wrestler qualified and they came in first!
James has been making phone calls for the last couple of days trying to get at least 15 people to come for the cleaning. Six people cancelled and our last minute fill-ins were: The Wallaces, Peelers, and Applegates. We ended up with 16 people. Besides these three coupls we had Brother Gordon, Brother Miller, Brother Curtis, the Lauritzens, Skousens, Brother Cooper, and us.
Brother Patterson, a stake co-ordinator, said we had 37 people total and that was a new record! The Vernon ward rocks!
The nice thing is we were home and in bed before 10.
