Journal Entry

Bishops Storehouse today. We discontinued our housekeeper, Angelica, because it seemed too expensive to keep her. She did a lot of good things but left some things undone and she took almost all day. I think we will try someone else but we learned some valuable lessons.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 45:9 And even so I have sent mine everlasting covenant into the world, to be a light to the world, and to be a standard for my people, and for the Gentiles to seek to it, and to be a messenger before my face to prepare the way before me.

"We live in these days of the Lord’s “marvellous work and a wonder” (⁠Isaiah 29:14⁠; see 2 Nephi 25:17⁠). We have been blessed to bring the gospel to our families and our posterity and to assist in preparing for the Second Coming of the Savior. The Lord described the purposes of the Restoration “to be a light to the world, … to be a standard for [us, His] people, … and to be a messenger before [His] face to prepare the way before [Him]” (⁠D&C 45:9⁠). Our responsibility is not trivial; it is not by chance that we are who we are; the keeping of our covenants in these days of destiny will be a badge of honor throughout all the eternities."
