Journal Entry:

We went shopping for birthday gifts for our two sons, Kevin and Jake. Got them shirts that we think they'll love.

We also went to the Payson temple and got all but one of our pending Sealing ordinances completed. They do a great job there if getting sealing ordinances completed in a reverent and efficient manner. It's a beautiful temple in a beautiful location.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 76:52 That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the hands of him who is ordained and sealed unto this power;

53 And who overcome by faith, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true.

54 They are they who are the church of the Firstborn.

"It is Heavenly Father who sends both the influence and the gift of the Holy Ghost into our lives. Through the gift of the Holy Ghost, the glory—or intelligence, light, and power—of the Father can dwell in us. If we will strive to increase in light and truth until our eyes become single to God’s glory, Heavenly Father will send the Holy Spirit of Promise to seal us up unto eternal life and reveal His face unto us—either in this life or the next."
