Jesus Christ, Condescension of

Moses 7:47

And behold, Enoch saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man, even in the flesh; and his soul rejoiced, saying: The Righteous is lifted up, and the Lamb is slain from the foundation of the world; and through faith I am in the bosom of the Father, and behold, Zion is with me.

Book of Mormon

Alma 13:10-20

* What do we learn about Melchizedek in this chapter? Why is he important?

- amberadamson: "I wish we knew more about Melchizedek, but from what we do know he was faithful and righteous. He must have been a loving and effective leader and teacher to help bring his unrighteous people to repentance and establish peace. To have the greater Priesthood named after you is a great honor. He teaches us that we have the potential to have great influence over anyone through our faith and righteousness.

Old Testament

2 Kings 5-6

5 Naaman, the Syrian, comes to Elisha to be healed of leprosy - He rejects the prophet's instruction at first but relents and dips himself in the Jordan seven times; he is healed - Elisha refuses to accept a reward - Gehazi accepts a gift from Naaman and is cursed with leprosy.

6 Elisha causes an ax to float - He reveals to the king how to conduct a war with Syria - Horses and chariots of fire protect Elisha - The Syrians are smitten with blindness - Benhadad besieges Samaria, and foodstuff sells for a great price.

Teaching in the Home - a Joyful and Sacred Responsibility

Devin G. Durrant

"Family home evening, which was a high priority in the faith-filled home where I was raised. I don't remember specific lessons taught at family home evening, but I do remember that we never missed a week. I knew what was important to my parents."

I stilll can't bend my knee when I walk but I am going to the temple to work my shift anyway. 

I got up early to warm up the green chili stew and take a shower and eat. We arrived at the temple at 6:30, plenty time to get dressed and be in preparation meeting at 7. 

President and Sister Brimhall presided over preparation meeting. They are my favorite. We had three short videos regarding the sealing ordinance. 

After preparation meeting Sister Wenhardt asked me to go to initiatory. She left the schedules at home and her husband had to go back to St. Johns to get them for her. He said he was back in 72 minutes, which means he far exceeded the speed limit. 

My schedule is the same as I've had for the past 3 weeks. That's fine with me. I like this schedule. I get to do initiatory 2x and be the 1st follower in the same session as James. I also have the same break as he does, and when he is checking recommends at the front desk, I am right behind him serving as the baptismal greeter.

During our break James and I both had our bowl of green chili stew. By the end of the day it was all gone. 

James officiated at his first session today at 9:30. He did fine until he was demonstrating at the veil and got a little confused. He recovered but was standing so others couldn't see what he was doing and Brother Coltrin corrected him. 

When we returned home James made some phone calls regarding tonight's temple cleaning. I relaxed on the recliner. I am not going tonight because of my knee. Before he left for cleaning at 5, I made James and myself green smoothies. While James was gone I watched a couple of Hallmark movies, blogged and did the dishes.

He was home around 9:30. I asked how it went and he said he was a little embarrassed because we only had 12 people show up to clean. We are supposed to have at least 15. 8 people who said they would be there did not come. The real kicker is that the other ward who is assigned to clean with us, the Show Low Creek ward, only had 5 people show.

These are the people from our ward who came and helped:

James, Bishop Miller, Brother Curtis, Brother Cooper, Brother Scott, Brother and Sister Smith, Brother and Sister Reidhead, Brother Grapp, Brother Butler, and Brother Crane. Thanks to all of you for honoring your commitment and serving the Lord.

Addy got home from camp today. It sounds like she had a great time. They went to two ward members cabins 30 minutes north of Payson. Addy said her favorite thing was riding in the paddle boats on the lake.

Saving Ordinances Will Bring Us Marvelous Light

Elder Taniela B. Wakolo

"The prophet Amulek declared, 'This...is the time...to prepare to meed God' (Alma 34:32). How do we prepare? By worthily receiving ordinances. We must also, in President Russell M. Nelson's words, 'keep on the covenant path.' President Nelson continued, 'Your commitment to follow the Savior by making covenants with Him and then keeping those covenants will open the door to every spiritual blessing and privilege available to men, women, and children everywhere.'"

"You cannot think your way to conversion, because you cannot convince your mind of something your heart does not feel." -Sheri Dew

I slept on the recliner last night because I could not get comfortable in bed with my right knee. I slept fine on the recliner, except I hallucinated. I saw a guy in a yellow jumpsuit standing by the table to the right of me. He was holding a bag of some sort in his hand. All of a sudden he floated up in the air and landed next to the caribou on the wall as if he was stuck there. Next I saw a big shadow below him that looked like a bear pawing the wall trying to get to this guy. So weird. I am pretty sure I was awake when I experienced this. Is there a hidden meaning or message behind what I saw? I think not. 

James worked at the Howard's clearing trees a couple of hours this morning. He got home around 9:30, about the same time Anne  dropped off her five children. Anne is the Bishops' wife and she is going with Debra Brewer to do temple baptisms and to help her purchase garments. Debra is going through the temple next Thursday for the first time. Sister Reynolds will be her escort.

Andyn is the oldest of Bishop's kids and she is nine. Cathryn is 7, Hyrum is 4 almost 5, Uriah is almost 3, and Sophie will be a year old tomorrow. The children are very well behaved and the baby is as sweet as she can be. 

I am still limping around with a stiff knee but I can hold and walk with the baby because she is so light. They snacked on goldfish and watched movies and played upstairs with the toys. 

Hyrum and Uriah had the light sabers but Hyrum wanted his to work so James to it apart and put some batteries in it. It made the noise and light up sporadically. James spent a long time trying to fix it so it would light up correctly but it was too cheaply made. I think it cost $3. By the time he quit trying Hyrum had lost interest anyway.

Uriah does not talk much and I think this has been a concern to his parents. He reminds me of an old cartoon character, Gerald McBoing Boing. Gerald made noises but did not talk. Hyrum tried to say water and when he was waiting for his lunch of macaroni and cheese he said, with a frown on his face, yum, yum!

James took all the kids except Sophie on a Razr ride. They loved it until Cathryn got dirt in her face.

Uriah loves music. Andyn chose to watch the movie "Sleeping Beauty." When it was over Hyrum and Uriah chose "The Greatest Showman." Hyrum would watch awhile and then go do something else but Uriah sat and watched it the entire time.

Andyn relaxing on the couch. Hyrum and

Uriah watching the movie and Sophie deciding

which book she wants to pull off the shelf.

Cathryn was upstairs playing.

After watching "The Greatest Showman" the kids wanted to watch "Lion King." Anne got back after 3 and they were still watching the movie. After it was over they started acting like lions and chasing each other around. I guess while I was in the bedroom with Sophie Uriah started growling at James and he growled back at him. Uriah and Hyrum would try to sneak up on James and he would growl really loud at them and they would scream and run. This girls got in on the action too. They were so quiet and well-behaved until their mom got here.

At 4:00 I rested. I then made green smoothies for dinner, read to James, helped Laurann with the RS email, blogged, and help James make a green chili stew to take to the temple in the morning.

Andyn and Cathryn playing Barbies.

Sophie wants to play too.

Andyn notices Sophie.

Sophie gets her own Barbie and tosses

aside the baby doll.

Watching "The Greatest Showman" with Uriah

and supposedly feeding Sophie her bottle.

Does he know she's asleep. 

I don't think so.

She didn't stay asleep until I took

her in the bedroom where she got about

a 45 minutes nap sitting on my lap in

the rocking chair.

After they left to go home Anne sent me this text:

Andyn as we were getting in the car at your house says:

"Wow! I had no idea it would be such an explosion at their house, I mean I knew it would be fun but not such an explosion of fun! How am I going to explain this to my cousins?!"

Thanks again!

The 377 fire between Heber and Holbrook is 50% contained. That is good news. Two volcanoes have erupted recently, in Hawaii, and Guatemala. The one in Hawaii has erupted more than once.

I got up at 4 this morning and walked 1,000 steps. By 7 am I was not able to bend my knee. Later while I was working on my blog the pain became unbearable. I laid down on the bed and could not get comfortable so I went in on the recliner, took some aspirin, and watched part of a movie and felt a little better. 

James spent the day trying to fix his small Cat. He had to go into town to order a part.

He fixed me a green smoothie for dinner and emptied the trash, even though it's my job. 

We were going to go to the temple for the 4:30 session but I was unable to go. 

I decided to sleep on the recliner this evening. Before going to bed I watched a Hallmark movie starring Meghan Markle. I am still pretty miserable.

Jared asked me how I liked the name Eleanor Grace for the baby. He said that Kacey has already been calling her Ellie. I said I liked it fine. I asked him about Eleanor Mae and he said he didn't want Ellie Mae because of "The Beverly Hillbillies." I understand, but I still like it.

I called and invited Nita Moore to go with me to the Relief Society luncheon at Licano's on Sunday.

An antelope doe came to visit today. She laid next to our side yard fence for awhile this morning, left, and was back this evening. James thinks she has a fawn somewhere. I wish she would stay with us. Antelope are my favorite.

I learned so much about reading this article.

I wonder why we don't celebrate this

holiday more.

We have had so many natural disasters lately. The volcano in Hawaii has erupted again and 100's have lost their homes. Another volcano erupted in Guatemala and we have the wildfires in Arizona and New Mexico. Is this the beginning of the cleansing  in preparation for the 2nd Coming of the Savior?

I called Sister Burton today because Tamara said they needed help packing and cleaning. I told her I could help tomorrow and she said she would call me back this evening and let me know if I was needed. I never heard from her so I thought maybe she would call tomorrow morning. I guess they have already moved to St. Johns.

I made an unexpected trip to town with James to get or order tractor parts for our small skidsteer. I picked up five prescriptions at Walmart and did some shopping, but I forgot to get bananas. 

James made us green smoothies for dinner.

Watched Poldark and read from "Riders on the Orphan Train."

I paid bills, worked on my blog, ate lunch and watched this week's episode of "The Good Witch." Now I am watching "Poldark" while I continue to pay bills. 

The fashion designer, known for her purses, Kate Spade, committed suicide today. She was 55 years old and has a 13 year old daughter.

She left her daughter a note telling her it was not her fault.

This evening James and I watched the new Hallmark movie, "Marrying Mr. Darcy" starring Cindy Busby who used to be in "Heartland." She was such a jerk in "Heartland" that it seemed funny seeing her play someone nice.

97% of Heber-Overgaard is without power because of the fire. The Red Onion Restaurant is going strong because they have a backup generator.

The Heart of a Prophet

Elder Gary E. Stevenson

" President Spencer W. Kimball explained:

'As one star sinks behind the horizon, another comes into the picture, and death spawns life. The work of the Lord is endless.

Even when a powerful leader dies, not for a single instant is the Church without leadership, thanks to the kind Providence who gave His kingdom continuity and perpetuity. As it already has happened... before in this dispensation, a people reverently

close a grave, dry their tears, and turn their faces to the future."

" While we are grateful for second chances following mistakes, or failures of the mind, we stand all amazed at the Savior's grace in giving us second chances in overcoming sin, or failures of the heart."

Elder Neil L. Andersen

"The selection of a prophet is made by the Lord Himself. There is no campaigning, no debates, no posturing for position, no dissension, distrust, confusion, or commotion. I too confirm that the power of heaven was with us in the upper room of the temple as we prayerfully encircled President Nelson and felt the undeniable approval of the Lord upon him."

After a Razr ride last summer.

James watered everything this morning. Bunnies, hummingbirds, trees, grass, and plants. 

James also fixed lunch. We had squash, cabbage and refried beans. I read to him from "Riders on the Orphan Train." 

After rest time James left to go to town to pick up a prescription. He came back with groceries and the mail. We received our new Church magazines which is always exciting. I also got my new pop socket, black with the outline of a heart on it, and pink Iface cover, but no blood pressure watch for James. A mixture of joy and sadness.

We seem to have lost the receipt and all of the paperwork for our new phones. I thought maybe we left it in the condo so I called. They said nothing had been turned in, which means the cleaning ladies probably threw them away. We have to send our old phones in, and we need shipping labels from the Verizon website to do that.
I tried finding them on the website by myself but I had no luck. There has to be some special instructions.

The Halcomb's came by for a visit today. Kerri wants to build a garage and had some questions to ask James. Catherine and I had a nice visit while James was talking to Kerri. 

James is going to do a material takeoff for Kerri.

A fire between Heber and Holbrook today on highway 377. They are calling it the 377 fire. It was started by a semitruck and trailer dragging a chain. He actually started several fires in a 24 mile stretch. Why are people so careless? The fire caused the sunset to be extra orange.

The yellow part almost looks like flames

After FHE I did my walk around the dining room and kitchen. I can't bend my right knee but I did get my 45 minutes.

" The Savior taught: 'For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 'But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.'

We can all receive unspeakable peace and partnering with our Savior as we learn to freely forgive those who have trespassed against us. This partnering brings the Savior's power into our lives in an unmistakable and never-to-be-forgotten way."

I lost 1.2 lbs. this week. Yea! James lost exactly the same as I did, which means he is  still ahead in the weight loss part of the contest. 

Only two more weeks to go!

I blogged this morning and had scriptures and prayers with James. We have to be checked out of our room by 10 am. James carried everything downstairs except my purse and one bag. He is such a champ!

As I began getting ready for church this morning I realized that I did not bring a Sunday outfit. I did bring my Sunday shoes and a day dress so I made the day dress do, with one of my blouses as a jacket. I am just glad that I am going to a ward where no one knows me except Darrel and Trina. 

We attended the Everton ward in the Eastmark Stake with Darrel's family. We sat in the back and Darrel's family joined us. During the sacrament Lola came over and sat on my lap and asked me to read, "Are You My Mother?" I remember this book from when our kids were little. Lola takes the book when I am finished and reads it back to me. I really do think she is ready to start learning to read. I must get busy with my program!

One of the sisters who bore her testimony said that her aunt told her of a time they were meeting in the tri-stake center and they were fasting for rain. During their fast and testimony meeting they heard thunder and when they went out after the meeting it was raining.

That didn't happen to us today, although it is raining in Roswell, New Mexico today.

We stayed for Sunday School. Darrel had to go home to fix the kitchen faucet. We sat by a couple that used to live in Eagar. Their last name was Sitten.

Brother Foster, the Gospel Doctrine teacher, taught lesson #19 about the beginning of the reign of the judges. It is the same lesson taught in our ward by Brother Smith last week. I got something out of the lesson that I want to share with the family this week. Here is the illustration:

The rising generation did not accept the

teachings of their fathers. To keep that from 

happening today we must anchor them to these

four things when they are young.

We left after Sunday School because James was afraid that Darrel might need him and he left his phone here at the church. 

When we got to the house no one was there. Darrel came in a few minutes after we did. I guess someone caught him in the hallway and asked him to come into Ruby's class. There has to be two teachers in all the classes now. 

James and I broke our fast and I immediately had a chocolate chip cookie, a scotch krispy, and some of the cake from last night. Wow, it doesn't take long for 1000 calories to add up. I had sugar overload and had to eat some carrots to cut the sweetness.

James had to help Darrel a little with the faucet but Darrel did most of it. By the time Trina and the kids got home the new faucet was in and working. 

Trina had chicken in the crockpot and invited us to stay and eat with them, which we did. Chicken tacos with flour tortillas, avocados, tomato, cheese and hot sauce. Yummy!

We left for home around 3:30. Trina and Darrel were not happy that James was driving right after taking some Tramadol. Trina said if he got in an accident he could be arrested and put in jail. Yikes!

We arrived home around 6:30 and spent most of the rest of the evening unpacking and putting things away. We did stop to watch the youth fireside featuring President Nelson and his wife Wendy. 

President Nelson asked the youth to do five things to be a part of the youth batallion that will help with the gathering of Israel:
