Journal Entry 

Had a good day at the Bishops Storehouse. Helped a lot of people.

We walked on the old pedestrian/bike path yesterday from the Bridal Veil parking lot uphill for a mile and a half then back. It was a beautiful day and not too crowded.

Our housekeeper is coming today and I will be serving at the temple. Looking like another good day.

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

The Prophecy of Nephi, the Son of Helaman—God threatens the people of Nephi that he will visit them in his anger, to their utter destruction except they repent of their wickedness. God smiteth the people of Nephi with pestilence; they repent and turn unto him. Samuel, a Lamanite, prophesies unto the Nephites.

Comprising chapters 7 through 16.

Helaman Chapter 8

Come Follow Me 

Helaman 13:38 But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.

Again, we see similarities between what is happening today in America and what happened in Helaman's day.

Just last night I watched on TV as our two remaining candidates for the office of president of the United States engaged in a "debate". We have reached a point, in my opinion, where we don't know from what these candidates tell us what is the truth and what are lies. 

I am grateful for the presence in my life of a Prophet, and a First Presidency and Twelve Apostles. These are 15 people who I trust to tell the truth.
