Journal Entry 

My back has been hurting since my Wednesday shift at the temple. But it's been improving greatly since then. Yesterday I was able to get my steps in without difficulty and this morning it feels good. I'm learning to not bend or twist along with not lifting heavy weights and it's working. I've also decided to not work at the Bishops storehouse on Thursdays for the next few weeks. 

Cathy served and then when I picked her up she had heard about a new eating spot called "Toss'd" which is a salad place very close to our home. We tried it and it seemed to have possibilities. I'm sure we will go back.

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

THIRD NEPHI

THE BOOK OF NEPHI

THE SON OF NEPHI, WHO WAS THE SON OF HELAMAN

And Helaman was the son of Helaman, who was the son of Alma, who was the son of Alma, being a descendant of Nephi who was the son of Lehi, who came out of Jerusalem in the first year of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah.

3 Nephi 1

Come Follow Me 

3 Nephi 5:12 And behold, I am called Mormon, being called after the land of Mormon, the land in which Alma did establish the church among the people, yea, the first church which was established among them after their transgression.

13 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.

"Mormon was a true disciple who lived in a day when “every heart was hardened, … and there never had been so great wickedness among all the children of Lehi.” How would you like to have lived in that day? And yet Mormon boldly declared, “Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Don’t you love Mormon? He knew who he was and what his mission was and was not distracted by the evil that surrounded him. In fact, he considered his calling to be a gift. Think what a blessing it is to be called to give our gift of daily discipleship to the Lord, declaring in word and deed, “Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ!”
