Daily Quote: One of my simple answers tonight is to constantly remember your covenants, to act on them, and to commit to them. This sequence, as repeatedly stated in the scriptures, is a classic, spiritual teaching pattern to prepare us for eternal life. It is centered upon Christ and his doctrine and teachings. - Charles Didier

Family is
Everything… First-- I'm remembering my
father on his 110th birthday...
the last 40 have been in heaven.
Arnold Albertson, Age 21 in
Hagerman, Idaho where he grew up.
Summer of 1934
He was 24 in September 1937 when
he eloped with his sweetheart,
Verna Beth Huffaker.
He died at age 69 of colon cancer.
Miss you, Daddy. I think of you as busy
and happy in heaven, reunited with
your eternal sweetheart after she was
a widow for 31 years.This is how I picture you in your
prime with Mom in heaven...
💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

Daily Scripture: Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. - Alma 37:6
Daily Quote: It has been said that the gospel of Jesus Christ is “simply beautiful and beautifully simple.” The world is not. It is complicated, complex, and filled with turmoil and strife. We are blessed as we exercise care not to allow complexity, so common in the world, to enter into the way we receive and practice the gospel. - Gary E. Stevenson

it was an hour wait.
So we went to R&R and
had a delicious supper.
This is Steve & Natalie's tree...

Another delicious Sunday dinner...
...with Christmas candles
Then I had tithing declaration
with Bishop Cheney.
** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this Great Plan operational.At the end of this December 11th,I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
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. He knows what our potential is.*** *** ***Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.*** *** ***I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."
*** *** *** *** ***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. Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.*** *** ***Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Daily Scripture: Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine. - Doctrine and Covenants 38: 27

Daily Scripture: For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round. - Doctrine and Covenants 3:2
Daily Quote: God is not dead, and he is not an absentee landlord. God is not uncaring, or capricious, or cantankerous. The first and great commandment on earth is for us to love God with all our heart, might, mind, and strength because surely the first and great promise in heaven is that he will always love us that way. - Jeffrey R. Holland
