Personal Revelation Week

We watched the CES fireside last night with Dane Landon, an investigator, with the sisters.  I really liked how Elder Callister built up the "blue print" of Christ's original church and what it needs to contain to be the same organization. Then with New Testament scriptures showed all those items, and linked it to what we have today.  There are so many good people, and so much good in many churches, we just want to take the portions they have of truth, and help add to what they have.  To bring it fully in line with Christ's original.

I also went to the stake mission correlation meeting yesterday.  It is very insightful to discuss the work with the full time mission leaders and the stake president.  It was nice to also receive personal revelation as to what I should be doing and to be able to make notes so I can follow that prompting.  That will help me do a better job in magnifying my calling in my area of influence.

On Saturday we went to the temple early in the AM with the youth for baptisms.  It of course was so peaceful and wonderful, but again I had personal revelation about the authority vs. the power of the priesthood, and how the power comes through righteous living and can be present in any home, regardless of the circumstance/make up of that home. Singles, widowed, fatherless, traditional.  And that power can be both upon the parents and upon their posterity.  It is a remarkable thing to call upon the powers of God to bless and influence the lives of those we love.

Later I spent time working on the wash room cabinets etc.  I spent 3 hours aligning a door so it would be straight, plumb, and close properly.  It was frustrating.  It should have been about 30 minutes.  But Lysi helped me amazingly, I was "inside" the cabinet so I could work on the hinge mounting, and she was outside, checking alignment, giving me dimensions it was out of alignment and how, and ensuring the door stayed in place while I worked various mounting until we got it.  

I love you forever, you are wonderful.  It is great to ponder on your day and consider what you might be doing while I go about my activities.  I think of you often.
