Journal Entry

I got out car serviced yesterday. 140,000 mile service. I also got the registration completed for the next year and had breakfast with Jake. So... What? Pretty good day.

Went to the temple this morning and completed Initiatory Ordinances for five men. We are going to an Endowment Session tomorrow at the Payson Temple.

Come Follow Me 

Abraham 3: 18 Howbeit that he made the greater star; as, also, if there be two spirits, and one shall be more intelligent than the other, yet these two spirits, notwithstanding one is more intelligent than the other, have no beginning; they existed before, they shall have no end, they shall exist after, for they are gnolaum, or eternal.

"Remarkable as your body is, its prime purpose is even of greater importance—to serve as tenement for your spirit. Abraham taught that “these … spirits … existed before, they shall have no end … for they are … eternal.” 

Your spirit acquired a body at birth and became a soul to live in mortality through periods of trial and testing. Part of each test is to determine if your body can become mastered by the spirit that dwells within it.

Although your spirit had a veil of forgetfulness placed over it at the time of your birth into mortality, it retained its power to remember all that happens—precisely recording each event of life. Indeed, scriptures warn “that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” Prophets refer to our “bright recollection” and “perfect remembrance” at that day of decision."

Elder Russell M. Nelson, Apostle
