3 Nephi 7:15-8:4
What part does the Holy Ghost play in conversion?
Answer: As we exercise faith, repent of our sins, and obey the commandments, we receive a witness born of the Spirit that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. We are visited "by the power and Spirit of God," (v.21), as we listen to testimonies of apostles and prophets. The Spirit testifies of truth and touches hearts that are humble and teachable.
How can we become more deeply converted? What lack I yet? How can we be a better influence for good?
Without the Holly Spirit we will not know what is truth and it will not prick our heart to change. A mighty change of heart to completely follow the Savior and His gospel is an indication of true conversion and happens through the power of the Holy Ghost.
GC: 'Principles and Promises' by President Thomas S. Monson
"May we care for our bodies and our minds by observing the principles set forth in the Word of Wisdom, a divinely provided plan."
We left for town at 7:30 this morning. James had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Moffat at 8:15. I dropped him off then went to Walmart to do some shopping. This is one of the things that I bought:
I love how all the pumpkin flavored items come
out in October. These are actually quite good.
Doctor Moffat told James his laryngitis was caused by acid reflux, not his sinus infection. He wrote a prescription but when we went to pick it up they said it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow. Fine, we will be back tomorrow. We drove all the way to Darbi's in Pinetop to have some breakfast. I have been craving crispy hashbrowns, but instead I ordered this veggie burrito. (I had some of James's hashbrowns).
James likes going out to eat with me because he eats his
food and then gets to eat half of mine too.
When I got home I crashed on the couch and watched last night's episode of "Dancing with the Stars." It was Latin night, not my favorite, but I loved Lindsey and Calvin, and Sharna and James.
Sheri, Kim and I had a nice "text chat" about the dances. I think Kim should be a judge. She really knows how to analyze.
James finished fixing the waterline and the balcony decking. He is such a little worker bee.
We got out voters ballots today. I am leaning toward Donald Trump for this reason:
Hillary scares me more than Trump.
We had chicken and asparagus for dinner. It was a roasted chicken from Walmart and was very tasty. Afterwards we watched the season's last episode of Chesapeake Shores. Of course it is going to be a cliff hanger. Trace (Jesse Metcalf) gets thrown in jail on the way to the hospital to see his dad who has just had a heart attack. He failed to tell Abby where he was going. Hopefully he will remember to call her once he gets to jail. He was arrested because of an outstanding warrant but we don't know what for.
