"Witnesses, Aaronic Priesthood Quorums, and Young Women Classes"
President Russell M. Nelson
"Earlier this week, announcements were made to members of the Church about changes in policy regarding who may serve as witnesses to baptism and sealing ordinances. I would like to highlight one of these points:
1. A proxy baptism for a deceased person may be witnessed by anyone holding a current temple recommend, including a limited-use recommend."
"Adjustments to Strengthen Youth"
Elder Quentin L, Cook
"To help our youth navigate the maze of choices available to them, the Church has prepared three profound and comprehensive initiatives. First, curriculum has been strengthened and expanded to the home. Second, a children and youth program that includes exciting activities and personal development was presented just last Sunday by President Nelson, President Ballard, and the General Officers. A third initiative is organizational changes to make youth a more significant focus of our bishops and other leaders. This focus must be spiritually powerful and help our youth become the youth battalion President Nelson has asked them to become."
I prayed this morning that the Lord with help me with my diet.
I listened to several "Come Follow Me" podcasts today and the book webinar this morning with Kris and Kathy. Friday is the Live Event for Book Arbitrage in Nashville. Of course, I'm not going.
I ordered two helps for next year's study of the Book of Mormon. One was the study journal for Dave and Emily's lesson and the other is for the Redheaded Hostess study. I'm going to be prepared and I'm very excited to be totally studying the Book of Mormon next year. This year it's been the New Testament for "Come Follow Me" and the Book of Mormon because we read the Book of Mormon every year.
I got a text from Walmart today. Our new computers are ready to pick up. We won't be going until tomorrow to get them. I'm very excited!
Anthony's heater went out tonight. He does not have electricity so James took him a propane heater. The heater is so big and puts out so much heat that Anthony was afraid to use it. He said he tried to use it and his ceiling started melting. He said that Cammy Grapp ordered him one at Walmart and she will go tomorrow to pick it up for him.
I watched two Christmas movies today, "Grounded for Christmas", and "A Homecoming for the Holidays."
Beautiful sunrise
I love the lights reflected in the window
Sounds yummy!
I love this family tradition
