Helaman11:1-20
*In these verses the Nephites did begin "to remember the Lord their God." What blessings have you seen come in to your life when you choose to remember Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ? How do you feel when you ponder what the Savior has done for you?
- James: "When I choose to remember by praying and attending my meetings in an attitude of gratitude and worship, I am reminded of the power of the Atonement which has helped me overcome so much of the natural man; which has changed my heart and helped me to overcome bad habits and redirected my focus from the world to things of eternity. Over time I have learned that it is not about me. I have a long way to go, but I have learned that the Atonement is about changing our lives and our focus."
-Karen: "I feel like going to church is like going to the hospital. We are all hurting or sick in some way. I feel healed as I partake of the sacrament and become one with the Savior. I know that as I repent and re-commit to keep the commandments the Savior forgives me and accepts of my offering and I feel of His love for me. I have the strength to face the challenges ahead of me for another week. During the week when I feel myself losing it, I offer a prayer to calm me down. I ask for peace, comfort, strength and love and to have the Spirit to be with me. I need Him every hour. I also try to repent immediately or at night during my prayers."

How Does the Holy Ghost Help You?
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
" The each, Fernando's family, testify that the Spirit, the Holy Ghost, bore witness of the truthfulness of the gospel, leading them to a desire to be baptized and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
I helped James send his accident photos via the internet this morning.
While James worked outside on the patio, I stayed inside and ordered a book about Mother Teresa for Dawn for her birthday.
I also watched last night's DWTS, which was latin night. Witney and Frankie were at the top of the liter board with 25 points. I was pretty upset that Alan and Debbie Gibson went home. Alan just makes pro and he's gone the second week. Debbie was better than Terrel Owens, Derek Fisher, or Nick Lachey. She has had lyme disease so she was dancing with pain, but did not complain and was doing a good job.
I started rolls early in the day to go with the minestrone soup I made this evening. James was going to go home teaching this evening and his partner was not able to go with him so I said I would go. We visited the Peeler's and took them some soup and rolls. Afterwards we went by the Scott's to pick up our dishes from last night. Brother and Sister Scott said they both loved the steak, gravy and potatoes we brought.
We got a teeny, tiny bit of rain today. It smells so fresh and clean outside. I really do love this time of year when the temperatures start to cool down.
We read from "Mind Games" and watched an old Autumn Reeser movie, "I Do, I Do, I Do."
James wrote a scathing letter to Habor Freight regarding his lousy greenhouse.
