Old Testament
Deuteronomy 1-2
1 Moses begins recitation of all that befell Israel during forty years in wilderness - They are commanded to go in and possess Canaan - Judges and rulers chosen to assist Moses - Israel's spies bring evil report - Adults of Israel shall perish - Amorites defeat armies of Israel.
2 Israel presses forward to their promised land - They pass through lands of Esau and of Ammon in peace, but destroy Amorites.
General Conference
"Bearers of Heavenly Light"
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
" As a bearer of God's priesthood and as a disciple of Jesus Christ, you are a bearer of light. Keep doing the things that will nurture His divine light. 'Hold up you light' and let it shine before men' - not so that they will see and admire you, but 'that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
I woke up this morning at 4:10. I went back to bed with the plan to get up at 4:30 but I slept in until 5:30. I spent the next two hours or so preparing my lesson. I feel ready! James is coming in to help me today.
There was a whiteout blizzard when we left for church.
Maddie D., Sister Halcomb, and Sean H. were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. Sean said: "Pray everyday to be able to serve or help someone."
Catherine talked about how to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ and Sean spoke on Elder Holland's conference address.
Today my Primary class consisted of: Jace, Colter, Liana, and Andyn, and of course James and I. Gracie has missed four weeks now so I talked to her mother. She is in Yuma this week with her grandmother. I gave her mother the note I wrote to her.
Our lesson was on Abraham and Isaac, and it went well. After the lesson we began trying to put the tents together and the glue was not holding very well so most of the kids ended up using double stick tape. Thank goodness James was there to help.
Alicia taught about the resurrection in sharing time. It was good.
The wind was freezing cold as we went back to the car. The snow was mostly gone and the sun was shining. We went home and had lunch and took a nap and were back down at the church by 2:15 for an appointment with the bishop. James and I were both sure whatever calling he was going to issue would be for me. We still need a Relief Society president so I braced myself. Boy, were we surprised. James was called as a temple and family history consultant. What a relief for me.
We stayed at the church for Sister Gordon's baptism by her son Charles. Tildy sat on my lap through the entire baptism.
When we got home James asked me to turn on the Rootstech conference where President Oaks and his wife spoke on the TV upstairs. The bishop suggested he watch it. I went downstairs to work on my blog and watched the conference on my phone. James came downstairs quite upset. He said the recording would stop and start and it was very annoying.
James played the song "O Lord My Redeemer" by Jeff Goodrich on his phone. I forgot how much I love that song.
