"After the Trial of Our Faith"
Elder Jorge M. Alvarado
"Ultimately, everything God invites and commands us to do is an expression of His love for us and His desire to give us the blessings
reserved for the faithful. We cannot assume that our children will learn to love the gospel on their own; it is our responsibility to teach them. As we help our children learn how to use their agency wisely, our example can inspire them to make their own righteous choices. Their faithful living will in turn help their children to know the truth of the gospel for themselves."
There are lots of charts in the New Testament Student Manual to explain all of the happenings in the first part of the book of Revelation.
Typed a contract for Diana Rico to buy Alicia Dela Cruz's property. She sent money today for her property.
I finished wrapping the Tex-Arkana gifts but it was afternoon and I was too tired to go to town. I rested instead. Tonight is our ward Christmas party at the church and I knew that I would be helping setup and cleanup. I'm glad I made my chili yesterday.
Tamara asked the presidency if we could be at the church at 4:00 to help get the dinner setup. I didn't make it until 4:45. The party starts at 6 and there is lots of prep work to be done. I am wondering why the Relief Society had food and decorations. I guess it doesn't matter because Kathy would have been there helping no matter
to wash.
We had over 200 people attend. The Primary children did a short program about Christmas around the world. After the tables were put away they played music and people danced, especially the young people. Santa came but I never got to see him because I was slaving away in the kitchen.
The Deacon's quorum and Brother Applegate won the chili contest and Sister Lynda Van Haren won the dessert contest. Four of the elders were the judges.
There are some perks to helping in the kitchen after the party. I got to take home left over chili and beans.
We came home and watched "Dollywood at Christmas."
Tonight the kids and grandkids did gingerbread houses at Stacy's.
Darrel's family wasn't there because it was Addy's Christmas choir concert.
