Book of Mormon review (review of earlier Come Follow Me lessons): 

Helaman 5

12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Journal Entry:

Cathy continues to suffer from osteoporosis related pain. She is actively getting medical assistance and we hope that she will be improving shortly. She stayed home from the temple yesterday to rest and I actually was able to go and get there in time for the 0600 Endowment Session. 

We were able to run a few errands later in the day and then rest.

Come Follow Me 

Helaman 12:24 And may God grant, in his great fulness, that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, according to their works.

"The effect of grace in our lives is conditioned upon repenting of our sins...

A repentant heart and good works are the very conditions required to have grace restored to us. When someone pleads fervently in prayer for an answer, the answer may be more conditioned on repentance of personal sins than on any other factor."
