trip with Hamlet Homes...Day 1
Our Wednesday night movie was in
remembrance of D-Day, June 6, 1944--
77 years ago.
"Band of Brothers" Series 1, Episodes 1 and 2
"Band of Brothers" Series 1, Episodes 1 and 2
Easy Company--the U.S. Paratroopers who parachuted onto Normandy Beach just after 12:00 midnight of the start of June 6th.
Information from Wikipedia:
"Band of Brothers is a 2001 American war drama miniseries based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's 1992 non-fiction book of the same name.[3] It was created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who also served as executive producers, who collaborated on the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan,[4] the 2010 World War II miniseries The Pacific,[5] and the upcoming miniseries Masters of the Air. Episodes first aired on HBO, starting on September 9, 2001. The series won Emmy and Golden Globe awards in 2001 for best miniseries.
The series dramatizes the history of "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, of the 101st Airborne Division, from jump training in the United States through its participation in major actions in Europe, up until Japan's capitulation and the end of World War II [Aug 1945]. The events are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans. The series took some literary license, adapting history for dramatic effect and series structure.[6][7] The characters portrayed are based on members of Easy Company. Some of the survivors were interviewed for the film. Excerpts from these interviews serve as preludes to the episodes, but they do not identify the men. Their names are revealed in the finale.
The title of the book and series comes from the St Crispin's Day Speech in William Shakespeare's play Henry V, delivered by King Henry before the Battle of Agincourt. Ambrose quotes a passage from the speech on his book's first page; this passage is spoken by Carwood Lipton in the series finale."
Gary and I enjoy our Wednesday night movies.

would not let him accept it.

Family is Everything…
Today was ward conference.
Our stake presidency were there.
Kim Beecher spoke, representing the Stake Relief Society.
She focused on "Look to the Temple."
The Stake Relief Society sent this to each Sister in our ward for
today, quoting 2 Nephi 31: 19:
"...relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save"
Sister Beecher shared that for four months before she and Mark were married, they were far apart--she was doing an internship in the East and Mark was in the West at BYU. They wrote every day, they telephoned often--even tho long distance and it cost a lot for long distance calls in those days and they were "starving college students." They were distraught at being apart. Then he said, the Lord feels the same way about being apart from us. President Nelson has made it clear that we can see the Savior in the temple. We can find hope and joy there. Let's look to our new Saratoga Springs Temple...
Bishop Roger Cheney thanked all who have helped him during his six weeks as a new bishop. He said he's been in meetings where he didn't know what to say, but he's been given the words...
In the army they made him learn Korean. When he went to BYU he learned Arabic. He has used this in his professional career.
...those who know the power of the Spirit know we have to pay the price: read the scriptures every day, pray every day...
Love one another, love everyone...
Doctrine and Covenants 64:10 "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men."
Let other people deal with their problems. Don't discuss other people's problems. Contention is of the devil. If you have problems, talk with your priesthood authority. Just do it! "Though you sins be as scarlet, they will be as white as snow." [Isaiah]
The battle with Satan is real. Satan is our enemy at every turn. Be open and honest. Shine a light on darkness. Don't hide it. Don't believe Satan who says you can't be forgiven. It's a lie. It's time to apply the Atonement. Let it transform your life.
We have to have the Spirit. It will save us.
President Jordan Erickson welcomed back Elder Ross who returned yesterday from his mission in Uruguay.
President Erickson asked if any of us had ever been unconscious. He said he was skiing on April 17 with his family. He knew it was near the end of ski season and they were having a great day...
(When I checked this later, I see I haven't finished it.
Hopefully, I'll remember to go back and type the rest.
If not, consider you got a "biscuit" of Ward Conference,
but not the "whole loaf.")
At the end of this June 13th,
I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
*I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and
the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes
this Great Plan operational.
I share these truths as my testimony to you...
Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment.
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
*** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration. He is the Restorer of all things.
*** *** ***
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world.
*** *** ***
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
*** *** ***
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
*** *** ***
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.
*** *** ***
Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
