3 Nephi 25
At the Second Coming, the proud and wicked will be burned as stubble; Elijah will return before that great and dreadful day; Compare Malachi 4.
Alma 29:8-30:11
*Search Alma 29:10,14, and 16 looking for the blessing Alma received as he helped others come unto Christ.
*Have you ever felt the joy that comes from helping others come unto Christ?
*Read Alma 30:6 looking for a word that describes Korihor. (Anti-Christ). One definition of anti-Christ is: "Anyone or anything that counterfeits the true gospel plan of salvation and that openly or secretly opposes Christ."
DC 98:23-38
23-32, The Lord reveals His laws governing the persecutions and afflictions imposed on His people; 33-38, War is justified only when the Lord commands it;
General Conference

Our Father's Glorious Plan
Elder Weatherford T. Clayton
" I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; but if they would not repent they must suffer even as I; Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit."
Adam left for home this morning. Ben said he had to clean up after him in the bedroom where he slept.
Molly wants to celebrate her birthday with us while she is here. I took her and Ruby to Walmart this morning. I got about to the Vernon dump when James texted me and said he wanted to go, so I turned around and went back and picked him up.
While James took the girls shopping I went and picked up the few items of groceries we needed. James checked out and I finished up with the girls. Molly got a pair of tennis shoes, a pair of shorts, and a jewelry making kit and some other small items with her $50. Ruby spent some of her money too. She says she is saving the fifty dollars I gave her for her birthday for when she goes to Universal Studios, Harry Potter.
When we got back home to the cabin it was about time for lunch. I realized we were out of catsup so I made a trip to Dollar General while James fixed the boys popcorn chicken and french fries. When I returned everyone had eaten and no one had even missed the catsup.
Darrel and Trina went on a walk this morning and then came back and cleaned upstairs before leaving for home. They said they want to buy a horse and keep it up here if we would help them take care of it. Of course we would.
Before Darrel, Trina, Addy, Ruby, and Lola left for home we had a party for Molly. Jared made her a cake and we had more ice cream.
Molly will be 8 on August 8th.
Ruby cried when she realized she had to go home and wouldn't be seeing Molly anymore. Jared and his family went into Fool's Hollow Lake and Licano's for burros this afternoon. James, Ben, Max, Evan, Joshua, Rowan and I all piled into our car and drove to Greer. As soon as the boys got out at the creek it began to rain. We didn't stay long. I guess Jared and his group got rained on too and the water was too cold to swim. He said it wasn't a total bust because they got burritos.
We stopped at Sonic on the way home and got the boys food so they seemed happy.
It rained a little this afternoon in Vernon, but not much. There were cows outside our fence so James turned the fence on. When the boys found out, they began touching the fence to see how much of a shock they could get. Rowan took his shoes off and got it the worst. It was like a game to them.
Jared made ribs for dinner. His kids didn't eat much because they will still full from their burros.
This evening Jared wanted to go to bed early and then get up and drive home at midnight. Everyone was just going to stay up and sleep in the car. I thought maybe they would want to watch "Private Eyes," Jared's favorite movie when he was a kid, but the boys were watching "Nacho Libre" again.
James and I said good bye to Kacey, Tanner, Emmy, Molly, and Jared before we went to bed. Anna, Summer and James were somewhere upstairs. I am sad to see everyone go because I know how far they are going and that it will be a long time before we see them again.
