Journal Entry 

It was a cool day yesterday but really very nice. We walked at Rock Canyon Park which gave us a nice start to our day. We shoot for 7500 steps a day and got it.

We both served at the Bishops Storehouse and enjoyed that.

Today is Cathy's birthday. She's now officially 74 years old, looking good and feeling pretty well. 

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 10

Come Follow Me 

Helaman 15:3 Yea, wo unto this people who are called the people of Nephi except they shall repent, when they shall see all these signs and wonders which shall be showed unto them; for behold, they have been a chosen people of the Lord; yea, the people of Nephi hath he loved, and also hath he chastened them; yea, in the days of their iniquities hath he chastened them because he loveth them.

 "We understand why some feel we reject them. That is not true. We do not reject you, only immoral behavior. We cannot reject you, for you are the sons and daughters of God. We will not reject you, because we love you.

You may even feel that we do not love you. That also is not true...there are times when parents and we who lead the Church must extend tough love when failing to teach and to warn and to discipline is to destroy."

     President Boyd K. Packer, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2000
