Journal Entry

We had a very successful visit to the Payson temple yesterday. We had seven Couples sealings and we got to do all of them. We usually only get two or three done so we were pleasantly surprised.

Cathy was very tired so I did a little shopping at Costco and Walmart and then I walked at Rock Canyon Park. It was a beautiful afternoon after a pretty rainy morning.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 42:42 Thou shalt not be idle; for he that is idle shall not eat the bread nor wear the garments of the laborer.

"God has designed this mortal existence to require nearly constant exertion. I recall the Prophet Joseph Smith’s simple statement: “By continuous labor [we] were enabled to get a comfortable maintenance. By work we sustain and enrich life. It enables us to survive the disappointments and tragedies of the mortal experience. Hard-earned achievement brings a sense of self-worth. Work builds and refines character, creates beauty, and is the instrument of our service to one another and to God. A consecrated life is filled with work, sometimes repetitive, sometimes menial, sometimes unappreciated but always work that improves, orders, sustains, lifts, ministers, aspires."

Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
