Week 25 - October 15-21

Tuesday we worked at the Family History Library on the evening schedule.  In the morning Elder Koberstein and I rode part of the Legacy trail.  It was about an eleven mile ride.  I was glad to see five corners round-about on the return trip.
We said good by to this beautiful sister.  Sister Pederson is 90 years old and has worked at the Family History Library for twelve years.  It has been my privilege to have known her.
Friday night Elder Koberstein and I enjoyed dinner out at the Black Bear Dinner.  We enjoyed a turkey dinner together. 

Saturday was spent preparing for next week (laundry, cleaning, shopping and preparing a Relief Society lesson).  In the afternoon we went with the Johnson's to see the movie "Emma and Jane".  It is an enjoyable movie about and early black convert who went to Nauvoo and there worked for Joseph and Emma.  I now need to look into Church History and find out the facts about Jane and Emma.  After the movie we enjoyed dinner at Chuck-a-Rama. 

THOUGHT FOR YOU

What would happen if we ...
Treated the Book of Mormon 
like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we showed friends our favorite part?
What if it was the first thing we looked at when we got up?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it when we got lost?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forget it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids and friends as gifts?
What if we used it to find answers to life's questions?
What if we used it when we were lonely?
What if we used it in the case of an emergency?
What if we spent even 1/10th the amount of time using it?
What if we used it to check the time? (signs of the times)
What if we turned to it to find out self-worth?
What if we used it to communicate with our Father?
What if we used it when we needed directions?

And unlike our cell phones...  One plan fits all.  
Unlimited usage. No roaming charges.  
You always have reception.  You never need to recharge it.  
No weak signals.  We don't have to worry about our 
Book of Mormon being disconnected 
because our Savior already paid the bill!

Thing about it!  
Do you have a physical copy of the Book of Mormon?  
When was the last time you read it?  
Shared it with a friend? or turned to it in a time of need?  
What about in a time of rejoicing, do you turn to it then?
Consider the words of a prophet.
