Jesus Christ betrayal of

1 Nephi 11:32

And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look! And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people; yea, the Son of the everlasting God was judged of the world; and I saw and bear record.

Book of Mormon

Mosiah 21:9-27

*Why did the Lord not see fit to deliver the people of Limhi out of bondage (21:15)? How does this relate to our trials?

- sue_heugly: "Vs 15, the Lord was slow to hear. The Lord did not see fit to deliver the people of Limhi from bondage. Why? Because the people needed to make genuine changes. When going thru hard things we exercise our agency by showing whether we will be bitter and angry, or become more humble and draw ourselves closer to God and seek His help."

Old Testament

1Samuel 6-7

6 The Philistines send back the ark with an offering - The Lord smites and slays the Israelites in Beth-shemesh who look into the ark.

7 Samuel exhorts Israel to forsake Ashtaroth and Baalim and serve the Lord - Israel fasts and seeks the Lord - The Philistines are subdued - Samuel judges Israel.

General Conference

Am I a Child of God?

Elder Brian K. Taylor

"This great war over divine identity rages fiercely as Satan's proliferating arsenal aims to destroy our belief in and knowledge of our relationship with God. Thankfully, we have been blessed with clear vision and understanding of our true identity from the beginning: 'And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,' and His living prophets proclaim, 'Each human being is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.'"

I paid bills today and it's a good thing I did because I had made a mistake in my checkbook register and I would not have had enough money to pay all my checks that were out and then would have had to pay an overdrawn charge of $34. I made a transfer from our line of credit and took care of the problem.

Russell M. Nelson, 10/2000: Living By Scriptural Guidance

DC 88:36-38

36 All kingdoms have a law given;

37 And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom.

38 And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every law there are certain bounds also conditions.

Rescuing Wayward Children: Unity of Faith through Purpose, Action, Fasting, and Prayer.(223-24).

Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive. DC 29:5-6

"Accessing the power of the unified faith of thousands through the temple prayer rolls, and of the faith and help of those across the veil, whom we help when we do the work for the dead, we can effectively gather in the Lord's name as we strive for the salvation of our children and loved ones, knowing that Christ's grace and power is thus in our midst and we are His."

Elder Dale G. Renlund: Melchizedek Priesthood: Chapter 2: Priesthood Offices and Keys

It has been raining/snowing for quite sometime now! We had moisture off and on all day and I am so thankful because there are now two fires in our state, the Rattlesnake and the Tinder. 

I woke up at 1 a.m. this morning with severe pain in my upper left arm. Yesterday when getting out of the bathtub I hurt it. I got up, ate one of my rolls, took a couple of aspirin, and laid down on the recliner. I couldn't sleep so I finished watching the new Candace Cameron Bure movie on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, "You Reap What You Sew." Afterwards I fell asleep. I slept a short while and it was time to get up for the day. I ate, took some Tramadol and began to feel better in about an hour after taking the Tramadol. 

Our dry does not get hot. I did laundry today and hung things around the house. 

Because of the broken skidsteer James did some errands with Alex, who was one of his workers today, and then decided to come home. 

I cooked him his favorite for dinner, cooked cabbage. He was so happy. 

I had a meeting tonight to plan the next ward activity which the Relief Society and the missionary department is in charge of. Laurann was home with sick kids so it was Tamara, Kerri, myself, and Brother Reidhead the ward mission leader. 

It was a great meeting. Tamara had the idea to use family history as the theme and we all just brainstormed from there. Here is what we came up with: 

8:00 - Activity ends

up here today.

I love these two!

I love him too!

This is so funny!
I remember Paul when he

Jesus Christ betrayal of

1Nephi 19:10

And the God of our fathers, who were led out of Egypt, out of bondage, and also were preserved in the wilderness by him, yea, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, yieldeth himself, according to the words of the angel, as a man, into the hands of wicked men, to be lifted up, according to the words of Zenock, and to be crucified, according to the words of Neum, and to be buried in a sepulchre, according to the words of Zenos, which he spake concerning the three days of darkness, which should be a sign given of his death unto those who should inhabit the isles of the sea, more especially given unto those who are of the house of Israel.

Book of Mormon

Mosiah 20:12-21:8

*What lesson can we learn from King Limhi on how we should treat our enemies?

- Ultimately we all must turn to the Lord for deliverance from our enemies. Limhi's people will try to take care of the situation themselves but will not succeed. Finally, they will humble themselves and turn to the Lord. The Lord in His wisdom will not rescue them too soon. He waits until genuine internal change has taken place and then provides for the needed rescue.

As far as how to treat our enemies, the Lord says to love your enemies, and to do good to those who despitefully use you.

Old Testament

1 Samuel 5

The Philistines place the ark in the house of Dagon, their god - The Philistines in Ashdod, then Gath, and then Ekron are plagued and slain because the ark is lodged with them.

"I have known our new prophet-president for over 60 years. I have served with him in the Quorum of the Twelve for 33 years, and I am a witness that the hand of the Lord has been preparing him to become our presiding apostle and prophet to administer all the keys of the holy priesthood on the earth. May each one of us completely sustain him and his counselors and follow their direction."

2 Nephi 4:34 - O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.

RWC: DC 29:5-6 

5 Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and am your advocate with the Father; and it is his good will to give you the kingdom.

6 And, as it is written - Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive.

Elder Renlund: The Melchizedek Priesthood

Listened to the Relief Society section of the handbook. We need an update!

I got a text from my friend Laurann. She is sick and so are her twins and she has no baby wipes. She asked me if I would go to Dollar General and get some. I had told her if she needed anything to call me so of course I had to spring into action. I got dressed, did my hair and headed out. It's just a hop, skip and a jump to Dollar General. Not. It's about 12 miles. I got the wipes and made the delivery. My little buddy Amaron answered the door. I guess he is the only one that isn't sick. He offered to pay me and of course I declined. They were only $2. I am grateful for the opportunity to do this very small favor for a friend.

When I got home from Laurann's my next task was to mend the scripture case I gave Amaron. What kind of a case breaks the first time you use it? The little task gave me alot of grief. I had to handsew and I couldn't make the stitches look even. I kept getting loops. After about two hours I declared I was finished and then I noticed I needed to secure the handle a little better. Will this never end? Finally.

 While fixing Amaron's scripture case and while working on my blog I had the TV on, I watched: "The Voice," and a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie that I really liked called "The Beach House." I learned about the habits of Loggerhead turtles while watching "The Beach House."

James had some rather bad/sad news to tell me today. While working on the golf course removing concrete he got the bucket a little full and this happened:

Yikes!

When James tried to turn it off the engine kept  running and cause it to throw a rod. Remember, this is our friend, Bother Howard's machine. It could cost up to $4,000 to fix. Of course, I imagine James will try to get it fixed much cheaper than that either by someone he knows or by fixing it himself.

No school again today in most schools in Arizona. The parents are getting quite frustrated, or so I hear from Stacy.

Cheese!

Jesus Christ betrayal of

John 13:21

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

Book of Mormon

Mosiah 19:25-20:11

* Why did the Lord let Limhi's people end up in bondage?

- sue_heugly: There are two kinds of bondage: The self-inflicted kind from poor choices and iniquity, and the kind that comes from the consequences and choices of others. Limhi's people chose sin, which is to serve Satan. Abinadi warned and prophesied that the people would be brought into bondage because they hardened their hearts against Abinadi's words and wouldn't repent. The dues of discipleship do not come cheap. If we want blessings and freedom from bondage, we must be loyal to God, obey his prophets, keep the commandments and remain humble, submitting our will to His. A blessing always carries with it a responsibility, and a consequence. 

Old Testament

1 Samuel 4

The Israelites are smitten and defeated by the Philistines, who also capture the ark of God - Eli's sons are slain, Eli dies in an accident, and his daughter-in-law dies in childbirth.

Russell M. Nelson:(4/99) Our Sacred Duty to Honor Women

The Atoning One Chapter 9: "Potential Perils of Grace",

Chapter 10: "The Gospel of God", Chapter 11: "Speaking of the Lord's Atonement" 

I am a little sad I finished this book today because I have really enjoyed it. Next I am going to listen to Elder and Sister Renlund's book, The Melchizedek Priesthood.

At 8 a.m. I left for town, about 20 minutes behind James. We are taking the truck and Lexy in to get new tires. James has to pay for his, I don't have to pay for mine. It's to replace the used one they put on a few days ago when I got a flat coming home from the Morrison's.

 They got our tires on in less than 30 minutes. We took a short walk and it was time to go. Next stop, Walmart, to get the oil changed in Lexy. James made the arrangements and then left. I walked down to the mailbox and mailed the note I wrote to President Shumway.

Now it's time to go in and do my weekly shopping.

I took my time shopping, calculating all my expenses. I checked out and then went to see if my car was ready. I sat in the little waiting room and watched some of Harry Potter. I could see the hood still up on Lexy so I took a spin around the store. This trip is going to be more costly than it seems because I found things to put on my wish list: Grabbit Stick, Black memory foam shoes, "Oh The Places You'll Go" Dr. Seuss book, "Coco,"the movie, and "Coco book and playset. "Star Wars 5 Minute Stories." I actually went home and used my Amazon gift card to by two of the books and the movie. I also bought the movie, "Wonder" because Stacy said it was so good. 

Two more things on my wishlist, cute photo album papers, and some new Ginger scissors.

Finally after a few more trips around the store and the passing of two hours, Lexy was finished. I paid the girl, got my report, and loaded up Lexy for home.

I got home and put everything away and sat down in my recliner wondering where James was. He came in a few minutes later with Brother Howard's Cat skidsteer on his trailer. I was watching a Hallmark movie and he sat down and finished watching it with me. 

For dinner we had cooked cabbage. For F.H.E. we listened to President Nelson's conference talk from October 1999, "A Testimony of the Book of Mormon."

James took me outside to show me how to feed the bunnies. There was a full moon behind clouds that looked rather eerie.

Jesus Christ betrayal of

Luke 22:48

But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

Book of Mormon

Mosiah 19:1-24

* Why is it important to think less of yourself and more of others?

- sue_heugly: vs-11 The King commanded the men to leave their wives and children. Does this not show why it's important to think less of yourself and more of others? King Noah's selfishness activated all the cardinal sins, and blocked the way for developing the divine qualities such as love, mercy, patience, kindness and goodness. His example not only ruined his life, but those who served him. Following the Savior is overcoming selfishness. 

Old Testament

1 Samuel 3

The Lord calls Samuel - The house of Eli will not be purged by sacrifices and offerings - Samuel is recognized as a prophet by all Israel - The Lord appears to him.

Before we left for stake conference this morning James and I handed in our Chunky Monkey reports to Trina.

Darrel lost the most weight this week, 9 lbs. James was second with 5. James and I and several other people tied for points. We got all of them.

At stake conference we sat by the Curtis's from our ward. Diana is a Relief Society teacher and I work with the teachers. She won't be here for her next lesson on May 27th so I told her I would teach for her. The lesson is on ministering.

We had green chili burros from Burger House for lunch and then we both took a nap.

For the rest of the day I studied, worked on my blog and helped James find family information for Tina Allen. He was very happy with me!

 This is something we need to see again!

*What teachings did Alma introduce to the new converts and how did these teachings differ from King Noah?

Article: Live by the Savior's Teachings

By: N. Eldon Tanner

Dec. 1982

tavacivan: "For their labor, they were to receive the grace of God" (26) In Christ's Church, we have a lay ministry which sets us apart from other churches in the world. We also believe that a higher law allows us power to do what we are asked to do as we serve our fellowman. This is a compensation that cannot be imitated by money. It is His power and His strength that we have access to. We are to take care of each other spiritually, temporally and emotionally. (28,29) The Church of Jesus Christ is run by imperfect people but the organization and doctrine of the Church is sound and constant. His laws are perfect and when implemented correctly, we have great power and strength. These people were drawn to truth and were hungry and ready for Alma's teachings! We have access to so much truth!

It Is All About People

Bishop Gerald Causse

"The Church is all about you, the Lord's disciples - those who love and follow Him and who have taken His name upon them."

I was up at 4:15 this morning. I showered and then had breakfast. James thinks Hong Kong is in Taiwan so I have to get out my world map and show him he is wrong. Ridiculous. Why would I waste time doing this when I should have been getting ready to go to the temple? I am ashamed of myself, even if I was right about Hong Kong. The win was bittersweet because I had to rush to get ready. We left in a rush and then realized we had forgotten to bring the muffins so we had to come back to get them. Now we are officially later than we've ever been for our temple shift,  but thanks to James's driving we make it in plenty of time for our preparation meeting at 7 a.m.

We were under the direction of President and Sister Reidhead this morning, our old schoolmates at Snowflake Union High School.

Sister Reidhead talked about the new garments for sisters and then we watched films about the ordinances clothes and the endowment session. 

My schedule for today went something like this:

7:30 - Initiatory worker, which I am beginning to love even though I don't have everything memorized. These blessings are so amazing!

8:00 - Celestial Room - time to ponder and meditate and admire the beauty of this room.

8;30 - Break time with James, Sister Badger who remembered James from high school and his pet Pete the Crow. She was a close friend of James's sister Connie. Her last name was Petersen in high school. Sister Hansen joined us. She is from Joseph City and knows the Hunsakers. She told me a story of when she was Kip's Cub Scout leader.

9 - Prepare for the 9:30 session. Today I am the 1st follower. Sister Badger is the 2nd follower. James is the follower for the brothers and led the prayer circle and did an awesome job.

This afternoon I worked in initiatory again, was the greeter for the baptistry. During this time I got to visit with my good friend from Chandler and fellow temple worker, Debbie. Her daughter is married to Rex Bergstrom. My last assignment was the locker room. Since I was the last one on our shift with this assignment I had to check all the locked lockers to make sure no one had left anything.

One of the exciting things that happened in the temple today was the sealing of Bishop and Sister Hall's son, Kendall to his wife Chanel.  Bishop Hall was our first bishop in Vernon and when I was a youth growing up in Show Low his grandpa was my bishop. 

A great day for this family. Weston, Kendall's brother should have been there but I didn't see him. I guess he is working for a pest control company in Florida.

James and I got home from the temple a little after 2. I ate, had a short rest and then got ready to go to stake conference leadership meeting. James took me to the church where the Applegate's and Sister Halcomb were waiting for me. Our meeting in Lakeside starts at 4.

Our company left this morning. 

Our leadership training meeting went something like this:

President Beeler: 
"God's hands are in the details of the work."

President Jensen:
"One more step in the unfolding of the restoration."

President Shumway:
"The Lord wants our hearts. When we give our hearts to Him, He performs miracles."

Elder Jones:
DC 43:8-9
8 And now, behold, I give unto you a commandment, that when ye are assembled together ye shall instruct and edify each other, that ye may know how to act and direct my church, how to act upon the points of my law and commandments, which I have given.
9 And thus ye shall become instructed in the law of my church, and be sanctified by that which ye have received, and ye shall bind yourselves to act in all holiness before me-
DC 107:89 - Preside, council, teach.

"Authority and keys establish order."
Exaltation - Life like Him
Eternal Life - Life with Him

A council is a fundamental principle of human life. When you tell someone what to do, you are telling them to become like you.
Leadership is the ability to draw forth people's potentiality. 
The greater the agency and opportunity, the greater the growth.

During the break between meetings the Applegate's and Kerri went to get dinner. I stayed at the church and moved up in the chapel to save a place for James. He ended up being late because of a flat tire and sat in the back. Gratefully the Lauritzen's from our ward came and sat by me.
