We went to Jake's Sacrament meeting yesterday (ours as well) to see Fredrick and Jill. It was their annual Primary Sacrament Meeting and we wanted to show our support. 

The new Orem temple is now open for public viewing and Jake and Erica will be part of the staff today. Jake will be the lead usher on the first floor from 3 to 7 p.m. today. We would love to see the new temple so we will go today.

Our annual membership at the Orem Family Fitness Center needs to be renewed and now that it's getting too cold to walk outside we'd better do that today.

Come Follow Me 

"May we recommit to seek after this Jesus, of whom the prophets have testified. May we yoke ourselves to Him, draw liberally upon the matchless power of His Atonement, and rise up as sons and daughters of God and shake off the world. To “those who will have him to be their God” (1 Ne. 17:40), the Lord has extended a magnificent promise: “I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up” (D&C 84:88). Jesus Christ is our only chance. He will show us the way because He is the way"

Book of Mormon reading 

3 Nephi Chapter 21, Israel will be gathered when the Book of Mormon comes forth—The Gentiles will be established as a free people in America—They will be saved if they believe and obey; otherwise, they will be cut off and destroyed—Israel will build the New Jerusalem, and the lost tribes will return. About A.D. 34.

Chapter 22, In the last days, Zion and her stakes will be established, and Israel will be gathered in mercy and tenderness—They will triumph—Compare Isaiah 54. About A.D. 34.
