2 Nephi 23:1-22
While we might be living in "Zion" do you still stream content from "Babylon," shop from their clothing line, or weave their teachings into "Zion's" gospel? How else might we have a foot in "Babylon"?
Alma 12
Alma speaks to Zeezrom - The mysteries of God can be given only to the faithful - Men are judged by their thoughts, beliefs, words, and works - The wicked will suffer a spiritual death - This mortal life is a probationary state - The plan of redemption brings to pass the Resurrection and, through faith, a remission of sins - The repentant have a claim on mercy through the Only Begotten Son.
DC 35:13-27
13-16, The Lord's servants will thresh the nations by the power of the Spirit; 17-19, Joseph Smith holds the keys of the mysteries; 20-21, The elect will abide the day of the Lord's coming; 22-27, Israel will be saved.

Preach My Gospel - My Purpose As a Missionary - Helping Others Make Commitments: The Door to Faith and Repentance
James and I left for the valley around 9:30 this morning. Here are the stops we made: Vernon post office, Dr. Moffat's in Lakeside, gas, carwash, and Arby's in Show Low. Of course we went the Globe way so we could stop at Burger House. We ordered 17 burros before leaving Show Low and told them when we would be there. I am so glad we ordered ahead because the line was out the door. The reason we ordered so many burros was because we ordered four for Kim and Brian and two for Sheri and Ian. The other 11 were for Terry, Cathi, James, and I. Can you tell we really like them?

We made it to Dr. Allen's in Mesa on Power and Baseline right at my appointment time, 1:45. My appointment was with Ruth Hoskins the PA. Before she came in the girl who took my blood pressure and weighed me ask me some really weird questions: "Count from 20 backwards. Count from December backwards and who is the President of the United States and what day is it. It sounded like a psychological evaluation to me. All this for thyroid and hormone pills? Maybe they were checking for Alzheimer's since I'm an Oldtimer.
When I got to Cathi and Terry's I took a two hour nap. They weren't home when we first got there because they had taken the dogs to see the vet. Indy just had seven teeth pulled and it was time for a post op checkup.
When Cathi got home she convinced me that I should ask for nitrous oxide gas tomorrow while they pull my tooth. I told her I would. I am a little worried about whether or not they will do my infusion on Friday since I will be on an antibiotic after the tooth extraction. I would call the arthritis office but I would not be able to speak to a real person anyway so I will take my chances.
This evening James and I went to visit with his mom and sister Dawn. This was Lois's project for February:
Making Christmas stockings for Gail's grandkids.
These are just a few. She made over 20.
One of my favorites because it is purple.
This picture doesn't do it justice.
Speaking of Gail's family:
Gail on the right and Aaron's son Beckham on the left.
Dawn gave me a real microscope she bought for $10 at a store for teacher's. She also gave me some slides and then showed me some slides I could order. Thank you Dawn!
We had a nice visit and even called Gail to see if he would be coming down anytime soon. It sounds like he is too busy. Lois wants to plan a time for all of her children and their spouses to go out to dinner. For refreshments we had some delicious brownies.
When we got back to Terry and Cathi's I had a burro and then before going to bed I read to James from The Seven Tipping Points That Saved the World.
