2024 January 20, Saturday, Journal Entry

Yesterday I went to the temple and completed one endowment session followed by an Initiatory session where I was able to complete five Initiatory ordinances. Cathy was still feeling poorly so she stayed home. I then scooted over to University Place Mall and got some steps in. 

Today is the day for Ethan Black and his new bride, Amy, to be sealed at the Saratoga Springs temple. We have been invited and are planning to attend.

Come Follow Me 

1 Nephi 9: 5 Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to make these plates for a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not.

"I testify that the scriptures have been “kept and preserved [for us] by the hand of the Lord … for a wise purpose in him.”

...The scriptures which we have give prophecies and promises, and they have been fulfilled in our day.

What a glorious blessing! For when we want to speak to God, we pray. And when we want Him to speak to us, we search the scriptures; for His words are spoken through His prophets. He will then teach us as we listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

If you have not heard His voice speaking to you lately, return with new eyes and new ears to the scriptures. They are our spiritual lifeline."

Elder Robert D. Hales Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostle, October 2006
