Moroni 9-10
9 Both the Nephites and the Lamanites are depraved and degenerate; They torture and murder each other; Mormon prays that grace and goodness may rest upon Moroni forever.
10 A testimony of the Book of Mormon comes by the power of the Holy Ghost; The gifts of the Spirit are dispensed to the faithful; Spiritual gifts always accompany faith; Moroni's words speak from the dust; Come unto Christ, be perfected in Him, and sanctify your souls. About A.D. 421.
DC 82: 1-12
1-4, Where much is given, much is required; 5-7, Darkness reigns in the world; 8-13, The Lord is bound when we do what He says;
What does it mean in these verses that "darkness reigneth"?
General Conference
How Does the Holy Ghost Help You?
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
"As you heed promptings from the Holy Ghost-impressions most often quiet and still-you may be removed, without ever knowing, from spiritual and temporal danger."
It was difficult but I got up this morning, worked on my lesson and made it to church. Kim and Brian sat with us during sacrament meeting and attended James's Sunday School class. Jace A. was the youth speaker in sacrament meeting. He was pretty funny. He likened sin to a spider and swatting it and getting rid of it because nobody likes spiders. Nadine S. spoke on parenting and Bishop Miller finished up by talking about the Book of Mormon. Our chapel was packed back into the cultural hall because this is a holiday weekend.
I had seven extra kids in my class. They were really good. Colter wasn't here today. They are in the valley visiting with Kaylynn who just had a baby boy. His name is Branch.
Cute little family, minus mom who is taking
the picture.
During sharing/singing time all of the teachers had teacher's council meeting. I always enjoy the break.
After church James, Liana and I went to Lej's house to deliver his birthday present. As usual, his mother came to the door. She took the gift and thanked us. Someday maybe I will get to meet Lej. I wouldn't know who he was if I saw him on the street.
When we got back to the cabin Brian had prepared a nice meal. Bacon, sausage, and eggs with potatoes, etc. It was nice to have something to eat when we got home and we didn't do anything! We did clean up the kitchen afterwards before taking our naps.
Kim finished another puzzle today.
So cute.
James went home teaching two times today. First he went to the Peeler's and then came home while our home teacher's, Bishop Miller and Talon W. visited us. They encouraged us to watch a Mormon Message video called "Lift", which we did. As soon as they left James left for the Wilhelm's. Brother Wilhelm told him not to prepare anything because the kids were doing something for him. He came home with a paper for each child with their goals listed on it. When he taught them last time he had told them to set goals. It was so fun reading through everyone's goals.
Trenda got engaged today!
His name is Emery and he is a
returned missionary.
