Days are getting longer...Spring is only 41 days awayI always love quotes about Heavenly Father's creations.
These two quotes were on the"Daily Dose of What Matters Most"today. Great thoughts to start this week...Daily Scripture: And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands; but not all, for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease. - Moses 1:4
Daily Quote: Grand as it is, planet Earth is part of something even grander—that great plan of God. Simply summarized, the earth was created that families might be. - Russell M. Nelson

*** *** *** *** ***I love all things Idaho.Who knew Idaho had a Glacier? 
Idaho's only official glacier gets a
name
Mount Borah in Custer County is Idaho's
highest peak at 12,677 feet.
Mychel Matthews
Idaho Falls Post Register
It’s
now official, Idaho has one active glacier and the U.S. Board on Geographic
Names has dubbed it Borah Glacier.
Borah
Glacier is just a little tike about 30 acres in size and crawls around on the
north slope of Borah Peak in the Lost River Range. The glacier was discovered
in the early ’70s by Bruce Otto and was often called Otto’s Glacier. Otto was a
climber and Boise State University geology student who determined that the
glacier was a holdover from the last Ice Age.
In
2015, Collin Sloan, of Boise, requested the Forest Service document the
glacier’s existence and Salmon-Challis National Forest employee Joshua Kelley
and Student Conservation Association intern Mathew Warbritton visited the site
to study it during the summer of 2016.
“Our
survey confirmed the continued presence of the perennial ice mass originally
identified in 1974, and concluded that the ice mass is indeed a glacier that
continues to move under its own weight, based on measurements described herein
in conjunction with results from the initial investigations in the 1970s,” the
pair wrote in their report in November 2016.
With
official confirmation that a glacier did exist, Sloan pushed for a name. But
naming protocol moves almost at the speed of glaciers.
“After
years of coordination, Mr. Sloan submitted the name to the U.S. Board of
Geographic Names in 2019 and after months of waiting to hear back on the
proposal, the name became official,” the Forest Service said in a news release.
The
naming board approved the name of Borah Glacier on Feb. 11.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2021 Family is Everything... Riggy had a Valentine party at kindergarten.

Julie got pretty flowersfrom her sweetheart.
At Sacrament Meeting,Eva Cheney andStehanie Howell gave spiritualtalks about "Ministering Angels."It's always a good time torenew our covenants bypartaking of the Sacrament.
It was interesting this week inCome, Follow Me...for Feb 8-14"Upon You My Fellow Servants"Doctrine and Covenants 12-13to study about the restoration of theAaronic Priesthood. To me it is remarkable that when Joseph Smithand Oliver Cowdery prayed about baptism, theholder of the Keys of the Aaronic Priesthood thathas the authority to baptise--John, the Baptist, was sentto them to restore this authority to the earth.In my Book of Mormon I had written:"Ordinances give the power. Keys give the permission to use that power."
** *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 February 14th,I pray you have had arestful , peaceful, and spiritualSabbath 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.*** *** ***
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.Eileen PetersenFebruary 14, 2021
