Guess where we went this morning?
We met a friend at the front desk who is from our ward and was officiating the session would be in. His name is Blain. He ask us to be a witness couple. We could not refuse.
Mormon 7:1-8:11
Why am I grateful for the Book of Mormon? I feel the Spirit when I read the Book of Mormon, and my life is so happy and blessed when I apply its teachings. The truths contained in it will answer my questions about the times I live in. The Book of Mormon is essential to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It testifies of the Bible and they come together to testify that Jesus is the Christ. It is my peace and my comfort. It brings me closer to Jesus Christ. "Whoso treasureth up my word shall not be deceived." So many wonderful testimonies and witnesses of Jesus Christ in this book.
GC: Gratitude on the Sabbath Day by President Henry B. Eyring
"I give unto them a commandment saying thus:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart with all thy might, mind and strength; and in the name of Jesus Christ thou shalt serve him...Thou shalt offer a sacrifice unto the Lord thy God
in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and
a contrite spirit." (D&C 59:5,7-8).
It was an overcast, cold day today. Brian and Kim loved it. They even went for a Razr ride. I love having a fire and a Christmas tree on days like these.
Today I watched Christmas movies, did some laundry, read to James, and worked on my Primary lesson and my blog. All of this after my gospel study and going to the temple. It did seem like a short day. James and I are still eating Thanksgiving leftovers so I did not make any dinner. Kim worked on her Christmas puzzle and James sealed our front porch and sidewalk so they would not crack.
He also covered up our wood pile because it is suppose to snow tonight.
My Primary lesson tomorrow is on Moroni. He was alone for 36 years keeping the Nephite record and adding to it. Some of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon are those written by Moroni. He is definitely one of my heroes.
James sealing the sidewalk so it wouldn't crack.
It has to be over 50 degrees to do this. I think it was 53 as the
high today.
It was a little warmer in the valley than it was here.
Shana, Alex, Sheri went on a hike.
Max, Evan, and Rowan played barefoot
football in the backyard. When Evan got hit in the face
with the football he said:
"Don't worry, it's only a sprain."
Ian said: "A brain sprain?"
Oh dear.
Chandler friends who have now moved
to Gilbert.
This place looks magical.
How fun would it be to live on this street!
The highlight of the weekend for some people was Chandler High
School winning the State Football Championship!
