Tyler Hunsaker was the youth speaker in our ward. He spoke on gratitude and did a good job.
Ron and Bennett Brewer were the main speakers. Bennett is a member of the high council and Ron was his speaking companion. Ron spoke on missionary work and Bennett spoke on the Savior. Bennett said we need to develop a personal relationship with the Savior. He said we need to realize the love the Savior has for each one of us. We need to turn our hearts to the Savior. Are we prepared to kneel at His feet and have Him reach down and lift us up? We need to share the things we know about the Savior with others.
Hans Soderquist had business in Arizona so he visited our ward today. It was nice to see him.
In Young Women's we made plans to visit some of the less active girls in Young Women's. We are going to Christmas carol at Alex Jones's, take a tree and gifts to Arizona Hill and her family, and visit Hunter Crowe for her birthday. Shelly Applegate is the one girl who volunteered to go with us.
We had corn casserole and Katy Crane's cinnamon bread for lunch. I made cookies for 8 families.
I watched "Prancer", and "Snow Globe."
Stacy called and asked me if I had any information on keeping the sabbath day holy. She wants to do a FHE lesson for Michael and Joshua. I told her I gave a talk in July and would check my notes. Here is some of what I found:
"The matter of Sabbath observance remains as one of the great tests which divides the righteous from the worldly and wicked." - Elder Bruce R. McConkie.
"In this day of increasing access to and preoccupation with materialsim, there is a sure protection for ourselves and our children against the plagues of our day. The key to that protection is found in Sabbath day observance. -D&C 59:9
"It is a test by which the Lord seeks to "prove you in all things (D&C 98:14), to see if your devotion is complete."
