Journal Entry 

Played pickleball and enjoyed it as usual.

I spent the rest of the day relaxing and caring for Cathy. She is still in a lot of pain. We are seeing a trauma surgeon today and hopefully that will give us an indication of how to proceed. I'm hoping it will be just rest and exercise. 

Come Follow Me 

2 Nephi 27:26 Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, yea, a marvelous work and a wonder, for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.

"The identity and destiny of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints require that we be called by His name. I was recently in Kirtland, Ohio, where the Prophet Joseph Smith, with only a few members of the Church, prophesied, “This Church will fill North and South America—it will fill the world.” The Lord described the work of this dispensation as “a marvelous work and a wonder.”  He spoke of a “covenant [that would] be fulfilled in the latter days,” allowing “all … the earth [to] be blessed.”…

When the Savior returns in majesty and glory, faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be among all nations, all people, all races, and all cultures of the world."

Elder Neil L. Andersen Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2021

Alma 37:6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. 7 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.

Elder Gong  on AI:

Elder Gong also said that learning to identify the influence of the Holy Ghost will help members of the Church avoid deception if deepfakes of Church leaders are published. He encouraged reliance on the Holy Spirit, wisdom and trusted sources whenever using AI.

“While generative artificial intelligence may be quick to offer information, it can never replace revelation or generate truth from God. If something does not feel right or is inconsistent with what you know is true, seek to discern before believing,” he said.
