Journal Entry

We walked in Provo Canyon again yesterday and took the hill up to the observation lot both at the beginning and at the end of our walk. I got most of my 7500 steps in during that morning walk. We got a new printer because the old one just wasn't printing when it needed to. The new one is better in so many ways. It's faster and it uses a toner cartridge for ink so won't run out so often. It doesn't print on both sides so we'll use more paper for Cathy's recipes but, oh well. One less complication to malfunction.

I was surprised a little when Cathy agreed to a 0630 temple session this morning. Apparently there are changes to the Endowment session and ordinance workers (me) are encouraged to take in a session sooner rather than later. It's nice to have some exposure as a patron before facing patrons as an Ordinance Worker. Looking forward to this morning's session for that and the regular reasons.

I'm going for Hans Heinrich Bosshart, an ancestor of mine born in Embrach, Zurich, Switzerland on June 9, 1633.

Come Follow Me 

Alma 48:7 Now it came to pass that while Amalickiah had thus been obtaining power by fraud and deceit, Moroni, on the other hand, had been preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God.

"…Each time we have the faith to be obedient to God’s laws—even when popular opinions belittle us—or each time we resist entertainment or ideologies that celebrate covenant-breaking, we are exercising our faith, which in turn increases our faith.

"Further, few things build faith more than does regular immersion in the Book of Mormon. No other book testifies of Jesus Christ with such power and clarity. Its prophets, as inspired by the Lord, saw our day and selected the doctrine and truths that would help us most. The Book of Mormon is our latter-day survival guide."
