We took a long drive up to the Kamas area then continued toward Duchess before driving back here to  "civilization". We decided to try dinner at the new Cheesecake Factory restaurant at University Place and it was pretty good and very crowded.

Book of Mormon review (review of earlier Come Follow Me assignments): Alma 11

Come Follow Me 

Alma 31: 38 And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith.

"When faced with unfairness, we can push ourselves away from God or we can be drawn toward Him for help and support…

Do not let unfairness harden you or corrode your faith in God. Instead, ask God for help. Increase your appreciation for and reliance on the Savior. Rather than becoming bitter, let Him help you become better. Allow Him to help you persevere, to let your afflictions be “swallowed up in the joy of Christ.” Join Him in His mission “to heal the brokenhearted,” strive to mitigate unfairness, and become a stonecatcher."

Elder Dale G. Renlund Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
