The Temple

We took our ward to the temple last night to do baptisms for the dead. It was so amazing to see the temple glowing in the heavy fog. And even more, it was such a wonderful experience to see those righteous young men and women who were worthy to attend the temple to do the Lord's work. They understand what it means to be 'saviors ...on mount Zion. To top the night off...I read in 2 Nephi 12:2. Isaiah saw the latter-day temple and compares the it to a mountain. Why do you think he compares the temple to a mountain?

May we lift others up when they are not STRONG.

I know I know this is CHEESE. Am I the only one who is making comments on other peoples posts? And, is anyone even reading mine? Where's the love ..... READ my previous post to get this pic.

Lehi WHAT... murmured???? 16:20

Okay Fam,

Is it just me.... ??? How many times have I gotten this far in the B of M? It's news to me that Lehi murmured. WHAT.. A prophet of the Lord. In Chapter 16:20. I'm sure he felt the weight of the world while he was out in the wilderness seeing his family go hungry. Not even Lehi was perfect and Nephi had to be the strong one at this point.

Here's to KNOWING... we will get past these next chapters and learn even more. CHEERS!!!!

Jeremy and I went to the temple last night and I have never seen it so busy there. We had to wait and wait to go into a session. I realized that it's the first month of the year and the last weekend too. We all start out with good intentions as mortal beings right? My point is..... Thank goodness for family and friends to shine on us with there "steadfast examples" Even Lehi can falter.

This is exactly why I wanted to do this site, and I feel so blessed to know you are all participating!!!

PS.. Yes Jon, I am sure the daughters of Ishmael were HOT!! Someone had to be a match for Nephi and his large stature. LOL Love ya

1. We are still in first Nephi! Don't ever give up right?
2. We are striving to do as Nephi, and obtain a land of promise. we find this in the scriptures.
3. Do you think Ishmael's daughters were good looking?
4. Here is a photo of two brothers getting along......we are trying to pull a Sam and Nephi for the camera??? We love to read the Book of Mormon!
   

The Promise

2nd Nephi 9
I love the promise given in this chapter if we are righteous and stay good through all the tests of the world we will be given the kingdom of God. Our joy will be full forever. We know that the Savior came to the world so that all of us can be saved. He brought resurrection to everyone. Because of Him, our spirit and body will be restored to live forever and die no more. Knowing these things is such a comfort.

1 Nephi 21 & 22

We are in Christ’s hands… literally!
I just had A thought as I was reading this that Nephi loved Isaiah and his teachings, but Isaiah is hard to understand and would take a lot of spiritual Maturity. After taking his family across the ocean and maturing so much he was ready for a new level of spiritual revelation…. Even the level of Isaiah. I hope as I start these Isaiah chapters I will be ready or at a level where I can understand. Of course I’ll need your help… have a good day!

Congrats Dad on the new calling

Yes! Fishlake! Here comes the Ogden family again! Congratulations Dad and Mom for getting the most desired calling in the church for the 3rd time!
Today I spent my scripture study off course from 1 Nephi and did a little bit of studying for my missionaries. They are all doing great but I was looking for something to help a particular Elder who is a bit to wild. Do you have any ideas? I love D&C 100 and that’s what I’ll share with them today but if you can think of anything else let me know. Thanks!
