Journal Entry

We drove by the Lindon Temple yesterday. I think all temples are very attractive but this one is, to me, more attractive than most. It has the classic look of an older temple but I'm sure it will be very nice inside. Looking forward to the possibility of serving there as an Ordinance Worker.

We did our service at the Bishops Storehouse yesterday afternoon then assister Becky Hainey joined us for dinner afterwards at at Spicy Thai restaurant. 

Looking forward to serving today in the Mt Timpanogos temple. Yesterday and today are, jokingly, my regular work week. Then I have Thursday through Monday as my proverbial weekend.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 6:22 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things.

23 Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?

24 And now, behold, you have received a witness; for if I have told you things which no man knoweth have you not received a witness?

"Today the struggle continues. Secular voices are growing in volume and intensity. They increasingly urge believers to abandon beliefs the world considers irrational and unreasonable. Because “we see through a glass, darkly” and “do not know the meaning of all things,” at times we may feel vulnerable and in need of greater spiritual assurances...The Lord reminded Oliver and us to rely on sacred personal witnesses already received when our faith is challenged. Like Moses’s, Alma’s and Joseph’s before, these divine encounters serve as spiritual anchors to keep us safe and on course in times of trial."

Elder Paul B. Pieper Of the Seventy, April 201

"One of the great lessons that each of us needs to learn is to ask. Why does the Lord want us to pray to Him and to ask? Because that is how revelation is received."

Elder Richard G. Scott Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, April 2012
