Behold the Lamb of God
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"My beloved brothers and sisters, with the exciting new emphasis on increased gospel learning in the home, it is crucial for us to remember that we are still commanded to 'go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day.' In addition to making time for more home-centered gospel instruction, our modified Sunday service is also to reduce the complexity of the meeting schedule in a way that properly emphasizes the sacrament of the Lord's Supper as the sacred, acknowledged focal point of our weekly worship experience. We are to remember in as personal a way as possible that Christ died from a heart broken by shouldering entirely alone the sins and sorrows of the whole human family."
I love this quote by President Nelson:
"I urge you to stretch beyond your current spiritual ability to receive personal revelation."
He counseled us to pray. to listen, to write down our thoughts, and to take action.
After breakfast and scriptures this morning we all left for town. I am going to do some grocery shopping while James takes the kids to Woodland Lake to take some pictures on the covered bridge.
Our first stop was Wendy's for lunch. We saw Brother and Sister Elmer from Eagar at Wendy's. They are our temple coordinators and we enjoyed seeing them and introducing them to the grandkids.
After lunch I walked over to Walmart while James loaded the kids in the car to take them to Woodland Lake. Trina called while I was in the Walmart parking lot and I told her she should probably call James if she wanted to talk to the kids, which she did.
Charles Gordon from our ward checked me out at Walmart. He is quite shy and quiet, barely saying anything to me. I must say he was an efficient cashier though.
Here are the photos James took at the lake:
I wish I would have done Lola's hair better.
She says her mom is the best at doing her hair. She can do
it anyway. Sorry Trina.
On the way home I read an email from a sister in our ward who is giving away two cats to a good home. Rowan texted his mom with a picture and of course she said no.

Back at home the kids watched the movie "Rio" and ate popcorn and M&M's. Afterwards Rowan and Ruby went on a hike and Rowan found a horned toad.
Ruby even got to hold it.
While Rowan and Ruby were hiking with granpa Lola played with the Calico Critters.
She has shoes on because she was going to go on the hike
but she changed her mind.
For dinner I fixed chicken nuggets, peas, rolls and strawberries.
After dinner James took the kids on a long Razr ride while I had a
Relief Society presidency meeting with Tamara, Kerri, and Maxine. We worked on our father's day gifts, candy bars with clever quotes for dad's.
One of the things reported in our meeting was the brother Joel Robertson is speaking after having a stroke. This was good news!
Happy Birthday Ian!
The first time in 40 years a church has been
recognized in Kuwait.
Hush, Hush sweet Charlie
I love this!
