67th operating temple
Jacob 5:73-77
The Millennium, the last great day of gathering. Every Latter-day Saint should be actively engaged in the Gathering of Israel. What does the Lord promise us as we labor with Him in His vineyard? (See verse 75.)
Alma 50
Moroni fortifies the lands of the Nephites - They build many new cities - Wars and destructions befell the Nephites in the days of their wickedness and abominations - Morianton and his dissenters are defeated by Teancum - Nephihah dies, and his son Pahoran fills the judgment seat. About 72-67 B.C.
DC 45:47-59
Christ will stand on the Mount of Olives, and the Jews will see the wounds in His hands and feet;
What lessons do we learn from the parable of the ten virgins?
General Conference
Gratitude on the Sabbath Day
President Henry B. Eyring
"You could begin today with a private and family prayer of thanks for all God has done for you. You could pray to know what the Lord would have you do to serve Him and others. Particularly, you could pray to have the Holy Ghost tell you of someone who is lonely or in need to whom the Lord would have you go."
Lola found the candy stash in my desk. After giving her some, she wanted some more. I said, "You should go ask your mom." To which she replied, "No, I'm asking you." What was I to do.
I love castles, not as much as temples,
but I do love them.
These are some of the things the kids did this morning. They rode the Razr down to Chocolate Lake and then up to the Village with Addy doing all the driving. They played Apples to Apples and Zombies. Ruby and I played the Match Game. She beat me 24-10.
Addy was bragging about how Ruby once almost beat Alex.
While Ruby and I were playing the Match Game Darrel was trying to put the cartoon Beauty and the Beast into the BlueRay player. When he couldn't get the disk out or get it to play he yelled. Ruby made this comment to me: "He does that sometimes. He yells at Netflix too."
James took the cookies I made to the church and helped set up chairs for the luncheon. He said it was packed. Ravenna was blind for 20 years but still led the music in sacrament meeting. He memorized all of the hymns.
From what I have heard Ravenna Gillespie was an amazing
woman who impacted the lives of many people.
Trina made macaroni and cheese but wouldn't call the kids inside because she was so glad they were outside playing and figured they would come in to eat when they were hungry.
The Falls are still running. Both Darrel and James took kids up on the Razr and Trina drove her car. I am glad that James loves to take pictures.
Ruby on the go.
Crazy kids
On top. I hope Evan doesn't slip in
those flipflops.
Love that smile
Rowan and Evan
Darrel and the girls
Trina makes me laugh!
There's a goblin in my house!
Oh, it's just Lola!
Emmy and Molly at the rodeo chasing a calf to get the ribbon
off it's tail.
Some more happenings of the day: Lola and I played with bubbles and balloons. Lola likes the purple Barbie suitcase and my pink Herrod's bag. Darrel cooked hotdogs and hamburgers for dinner.
Afterwards I begin my fast for Kacey and Jared. James started his before dinner.
Trina and I watched the women's session of General Conference in the bedroom. There were four speakers:
1. Trust in the Lord and Lean Not
Bonnie H. Cordon
"We can center our lives on the Savior by coming to know Him,
and He will direct our paths."
2. The Beauty of Holiness
Carol F. McConkie
"Our Father in Heaven has provided for us all that is required
so that we can become holy as He is holy."
*This was my favorite talk.
3. Certain Women
Linda K. Burton
"Certain women are disciples centered in the Savior Jesus Christ and have hope through the promise of His
atoning sacrifice."
4. "My Peace I Leave with You
President Henry B. Eyring
"The Lord promised peace to His disciples as He was
about to leave the. He has made the same
promise to us."
This was my favorite talk.
Dianne and family
