Journal Entry

Cathy was really tired this morning. After breakfast she wanted to go back to bed so I went to get my breakfast burrito then went to University Place and walked a couple of laps. When I got home I contracted Jake and he was still planning to come over so I started taking down the outdoor Christmas decorations. Before he even arrived he texted a pretty simple set of instructions for fixing our TV remote. So I followed them and when he got here he did another quick adjustment and our Xfinity remote works great and our new TV works great. Erica actually climbed up and cut down the last of the outdoor decorations. So I put all that away and it was, all in all, a pretty successful day.

Today I'm going to choir practice because our new song is "This Is The Christ" which I really like. Then it's Sacrament meeting at 1300 which will be the schedule for the rest of this year. Next year we'll start over and have our Sacrament meeting at 0900. Too late to too early...  Oh well.

The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

A Bicentennial Proclamation to the World, part 9

With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles invite all to know—as we do—that the heavens are open. We affirm that God is making known His will for His beloved sons and daughters. We testify that those who prayerfully study the message of the Restoration and act in faith will be blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity and of its purpose to prepare the world for the promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"I exhort you, I pray for you—if you do not know these things for yourself, follow the example of Joseph Smith and the pattern of the Restoration. Turn to the scriptures. Kneel in prayer. Ask in faith. Listen to the Holy Ghost. Learn that your name and needs are known by our Heavenly Father, just as Joseph’s were. Live the gospel with patience and persistence. And in the name of Jesus Christ, I promise, “If ye will … ask [Heavenly Father] in faith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping [the Lord’s] commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you.”

Elder Robert D. Hales Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2003
