Cathy found an interesting breakfast spot called Early Owl in Salt Lake City. We went there yesterday and really enjoyed it. It was a nice quiet restaurant with decent prices and very nice background music. Good food options too. It's at 155 E. 900 South.

Then we walked at Fashion Place Mall and Cathy got some help with her apple watch that she was having problems with. The only closest Apple Store to our home is at Fashion Place Mall. Wish there was one here in Utah County.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 6:13 If thou wilt do good, yea, and hold out faithful to the end, thou shalt be saved in the kingdom of God, which is the greatest of all the gifts of God; for there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation.

"I humbly bear witness to you today that an honorably completed mission, a celestial marriage, a valued testimony, a position of major responsibility in the Church are not destinations in the lives of true Latter-day Saints. They can be important aids in eternal progression. They will not save you and me in the kingdom of God. Only living the life of a faithful Latter-day Saint will make that possible."

Elder Marvin J. Ashton Of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, April 1972

That's an interesting statement. I also believe that living a celestial marriage, which in my view extends beyond simply getting sealed in the temple, and maintaining a valued testimony are gigantic parts of "living the  life of a faithful Latter-Day Saint". But Elder Ashton's point is that we need to live the life of a faithful Latter-Day Saint in every aspect of our lives with all that that entails. It's a good thing and a laudable goal.

D&C 6:14 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, blessed art thou for what thou hast done; for thou hast inquired of me, and behold, as often as thou hast inquired thou hast received instruction of my Spirit. If it had not been so, thou wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time.

 15 Behold, thou knowest that thou hast inquired of me and I did enlighten thy mind; and now I tell thee these things that thou mayest know that thou hast been enlightened by the Spirit of truth; 16 Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart.
