Journal Entry 

We went to breakfast at Aubergine Kitchen then walked at Rock Canyon Park in Provo. Later, Beth and Karen came over and brought tacos from Smoked Taco for an early dinner. I really enjoyed that visit. 

Come Follow Me 

Alma 19:36 And thus the work of the Lord did commence among the Lamanites; thus the Lord did begin to pour out his Spirit upon them; and we see that his arm is extended to all people who will repent and believe on his name.

"It is one of the most powerful paradoxes of the Crucifixion that the arms of the Savior were stretched wide open and then nailed there, unwittingly but accurately portraying that every man, woman, and child in the entire human family is not only welcome but invited into His redeeming, exalting embrace."

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2022

"He pronounced: “Yea, verily … , if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive.” His promise invites us not only to reach towards Him but also to take the all-important next step: to come unto Him.

This is such a motivating, cheering doctrine. The Messiah extends His arm of mercy to us, always eager to receive us—if we choose to come to Him. When we do come to the Savior with “full purpose of heart,” we will feel His loving touch in the most personal ways."

Anne C. Pingree, Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, October 2006

Heavenly Father wants ALL of his children to choose to love him and keep his commandments.
