Quiet day. We drove up to SLC to look for bread for Cathy (gluten free) then drove up to the temple reconstruction site. That's going to be very lovely when it's all done.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 132:22 For strait is the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the lives, and few there be that find it, because ye receive me not in the world neither do ye know me.

23 But if ye receive me in the world, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation; that where I am ye shall be also.

"Can we truly and fully comprehend His words? “If ye receive me”—the Great Jehovah, the Messiah, the Creator of the earth, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, the immortal Son of God—“If ye receive me…then shall ye know me”.

To know the Lord Jesus Christ, we and all mankind must receive Him. And to receive Him, we must receive His servants.

To receive Him, we must receive the fulness of His gospel, His everlasting covenant, including all those truths or laws, covenants, and ordinances needed for mankind to enter back into the presence of God.

To receive Him, faithful sons of God must receive His priesthood, and magnify their callings.

But ultimately, to receive Him and know Him, we and all mankind must, as Moroni exhorts, “come unto Christ, and be perfected in him”. In other words, we must come unto Christ and strive to “become” like Him."

Elder John M. Madsen of the Seventy
