Elder Richard G. Scott's Latest Talk

Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high.

I like how Elder Scott put it. I believe that with all my heart. I have received a lot of guidance from scriptures. There have been many times when I have read something and I know that it is exactly what I needed to hear. It either answered a question I had or it gave me a comfort I needed at that moment.

I agree. I can read the same scripture over and over and each time get something different out of it. It's amazing how the Spirit works!

He Has A Plan

The pandemic of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc all over the world. My family is starting the fourth week since the state government put in force a Stay-At-Home order. We can only leave our homes if we have an "essential" job, if we need to buy essential items/food, or if we need to take care of someone. My five kids have gotten into a routine of waking up, doing school work, seminary work, reading, then free time. My husband is working from home and has multiple virtual calls throughout the day.

When they aren't using their limited electronic time, they have used their imaginations to think of creative things to do. Yes, I had to take one son to the ER last week because he fell and got a concussion, but we are truly very blessed. I know there are many that are suffering through this pandemic for many reasons.

Leadership Meeting

I was lucky to be able to attend a leadership meeting yesterday (December 2, 2023) Flagstaff with Elder Steven D. Shumway, Elder Michael A. Dunn, and Elder D. Todd Christofferson. Life has been pretty darn hard this year. I have felt very low this week. The hour and a half drive was worth it if I could get even a small moment of peace. Of course, I heard so much that I needed to hear. Things I needed to be reminded, and things that I needed to learn. This list of things that stood out to me probably wouldn't help anyone else. I know that I learn best when I can write what I have learned and get a better understanding from it. I am very forgetful and have a hard time reiterating what others have said. I understand things in my mind, but when I express that understanding to someone else, I have a hard time knowing what words to use. So this is my way of trying to get through it. Ok, so Elder D. Todd Christofferson talked about how the Atonement of Jesus Christ is what makes the whol...
