Helaman 5:9

O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world.

Jesus Christ, Antemortal Existence of:

3 Nephi 1:13

Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow came I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfil all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets.

Alma 53:18-54:12

What can we learn from the stripling warriors courage?

*The lesson I learn from the stripling warriors is that sometimes there are challenges in this life that we have to face, that we really don't want to face. If we go with courage, with faith in God, and with obedience to His commandments, we need not fear. The end result will be a blessing to us. - capew on Instagram

DC 121:34-46

How does one come to be chosen?

*By being righteous (see verse 36). By persuasion, long-suffering, gentleness and meekness, by love unfeigned, by kindness, and pure knowledge. (v. 41-42). Full of charity, having the Holy Ghost as our constant companion. (v. 45-46).

General Conference

Don't Look Around, Look Up!

Elder Yoon Hwan Choi

Elder Choi's father said to him when he was discouraged:

"Do not lose your faith because of the people around you, but build a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. Don't look around, look up!"

"Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, feat not."

DC 6:36

Other gospel study: The Family Proclamation, the Living Christ, and my Primary lesson.

James left this morning on the Razr to pick up his wildlife camera. He was gone about three hours. I was beginning to worry. He came back and said it was raining on the mountain.

I had an appointment with Dr. Moffat today to discuss my thyroid. He says according to my labs I have too much thyroid and that has the same symptoms as having too little. He asked if I was tired and I said yes. Am I hot when everyone else is cold? Yes! He told me to only take 195 mg. instead of 260 mg. Hopefully I will start feeling better!

Next stop, Aliberto's for tacos. I am addicted.

Stacy had good news about Jared Ammon today. He agreed to go to rehab again. I also texted with Jared about his kids today.

Stacy also said that she feels like the Lord is watching over her. Her bishop called her in and asked what he could do for her. When she asked what he meant he said: "I have not been able to stop thinking about you for several days now."

For FHE James and I listened to Sister Joy D. Jones's talk, "A Sin-Resistant Generation." Afterwards we watched the newest Garage Sale Mystery/Medieval.
