Stay on the Covenant Path
to reach the
Tree of Life

A wise person once said,
"Every society will be judged by
how it treats the least fortunate."
"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly...
TIME...
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.
*All that I am or ever hope to be,
I not only owe to my

angel mother and father,

...but my wonderful husband,
Walter Ray Petersen.

Walt called himself...
"The last of the old-time country doctors."

He delivered about 4,000 babies, among fixing broken hips, other surgeries, and even made house calls.As Janie said in his obituary:"He healed many hearts, heads, hands, and everything in-between."
In the 1950s you had to be 20 to serve a mission. This is Walt in August 1954, on the day he was set apart in Salt Lake City
to be a missionary.

One of Walt's happiest of happy places was as the pilot flying...
Our first plane was a piper Cherokee...
Then in a six-seater Cessna high-wing, turbo-charged airplane. Foxtrot 48--something was the call number {he owned with two partners).
We were blessed to serve 4 missions together--First:July 1995-July 1998

**** 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
July 20th,
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.

* *

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.

“An omnicompetent God leaves all mortals free to choose, but how grateful we should be that God chose long, long ago to rescue and to resurrect all His children through the Atonement of His Son. Nevertheless, some reject and many are indifferent to these and other divine beckonings, mostly because they are too caught up in the cares of the world. They are strangers to the Savior, who is far from the thoughts and intents of their hearts.”
Neal A Maxwell
How Choice a Seer!

    Revelation 19:16: -- "And he hath on his vesture and on
his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS".

* * *
* * *
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.
“Keep on the covenant path,”                                        “Gather Israel,”                                                                    “Let God prevail,”                                                                “Build bridges of understanding,”                                “Give thanks,”                                                            “Increase your faith in Jesus Christ,”                                “Take charge of your testimony,”                                        and “Become a peacemaker.”
Russell M. Nelson

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 Priesthood Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.

Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Pioneer Day

"We honor our pioneer members across the world not because they were perfect but because they overcame hardships, made sacrifices, aspired to be Christlike, and were striving to build faith and be one with the Savior. Their oneness with the Savior made them one with each other. This principle is true for you and me today.
The clarion call to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to strive to be a Zion people who are of one heart and one mind and dwell in righteousness."
Quentin L. Cook
