Fairy Tale Scene
1 Nephi 17:31-47
1. What message do you think Nephi wanted Laman and Lemuel to get out of verses 17:36-43?
2. What can we learn from the story of the Israelites being bitten by the serpents in the wilderness? Why did Nephi choose to share this story with his brothers?

In what ways has the priesthood blessed my life?
GC: 'The Doctrine of Christ' by Brian K. Ashton
"Repentance causes us to become 'true followers' of Christ, which fills us with love and casts out our fears. Repentance is not a backup plan just in case our plan to live perfectly fails. Continual repentance is the only path that can bring us lasting joy and enable us to return to live with our Heavenly Father. Through repentance we become submissive and obedient to God's will. Now, this is not done alone. A recognition of God's goodness and our nothingness, combined with our best efforts to align our behavior with God's will, brings grace into our lives. Grace 'is divine means of help or strength, given through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ...to do good works that we otherwise would not be able to maintain if left to our own means.' Because repentance is really about becoming like the Savior, which is impossible on our own, we desperately need the Savior's grace in order to make necessary changes in our lives."
I was home alone this morning while James went to work and Terry was at the R.O.C. I thought I was alone but I was wrong.
I feel safe now!
Stacy came by this morning to pick up some letters that I printed for her. I invited her in but she said she was in a hurry.
I am preparing to leave today. I washed sheets and towels, took a shower, and ironed some clothes. I also did some studying. Soon I became hungry and heated up the leftover carbonara noodles in the refrigerator.
James got home in the early afternoon. He takes Cathi and Terry's five gallon water jug to go fill it up. He was gone a long time but I forgave him because he brought me back a taco from Elmer's. While James was gone I did the dishes. When he returns we pack up. Terry is home so we say goodbye to him and the doggies. Cathi is coming home from Las Vegas today so Terry won't have time to get lonely.
This was the view as we drove into Payson.
I love the snow on the mountains!
We zip right on through Payson and stop in Show Low for food at Panda Express and Firehouse Subs. The snow in the Walmart parking lot was piled high!
It is dark by the time we get home. We got stuck in the snow and mud in front of the house. The snow in the driveway was piled too high to even attempt going that way. James manages to get the water and heat turned on. He also brings in the suitcases while I unpack and put things away.
Someone posted this picture and I couldn't resist.
We have about a foot of snow.
Once we are unpacked we sit down to watch the newest Hallmark movie, "Birthday Wishes" and enjoy some hot chocolate and whipped cream. Home Sweet Home!
