Went to church. The primary children put on the Sacrament meeting program. They are all such miracles... Little bundle of joy who will hopefully continue to grow and prosper. Sunday School was good with Matt Croad leading the discussion. It was a really good review of the week's Come Follow Me  material.

Got a neighborhood walk in with Cathy.

Today it's work in the garden. Plus I get a little break to go qualify with my firearm so that I can legally carry it.

Come Follow Me 

2 Corinthians 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

"Saints can be happy under every circumstance. We can feel joy even while having a bad day, a bad week, or even a bad year!

My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.

When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation…and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives."

President Russell M Nelson, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostle, October 2016

Book of Mormon reading 

Alma Chapter 25, Lamanite aggressions spread—The seed of the priests of Noah perish as Abinadi prophesied—Many Lamanites are converted and join the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi—They believe in Christ and keep the law of Moses. About 90–77 B.C.

Chapter 26, Ammon glories in the Lord—The faithful are strengthened by the Lord and are given knowledge—By faith men may bring thousands of souls unto repentance—God has all power and comprehends all things. About 90–77 B.C.
