Journal Entry:

I bore my testimony in Fast and Testimony meeting yesterday. Jake had posted a short video on Marco Polo showing him and Meredith seated side by side when a uniformed police officer entered the picture, arrested Meredith and removed her from the picture. Then he posted "isn't AI fun Z?" The video was a complete fabrication as are so many other things in life today. We literally can't believe everything (or anything) we see or hear these days. That's why trusting in our Heavenly Father, His son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost is so important. Thank heaven we have that resource.

Jake and his family stopped by for a visit and we enjoyed that very much.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 76:5 For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

6 Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.

"[W]e should do “all we can do” until the end of our mortal probation….

When I served as president of the Spain Bilbao Mission, I was impressed with the quality of members and missionaries that I met, who moved the work forward with great ability and love, as do many faithful members of the Church in other parts of the world. To all of them, I express my sincere respect and admiration.

The Lord has said that He is “delight[ed] to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

“Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory” … 

It is my humble prayer that the Lord may bless us to do “all we can do” in this “out of the ordinary” path that we have chosen[.]"
