Derek and I went on a lunch date to Costco. It was nice to just spend some time together. We tried doing a little Christmas shopping but weren't too successful. I am grateful for my best friend. It is nice to feel his strength and his love for me. I am so blessed.
Today I will continue to read from a talk by President Henry B. Eyring, 1st Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (click here to read/watch/listen.)
"I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God because I have treasured it."--I also treasure the Book of Mormon. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. I feel God's love and His strength when I read this book. I know it is true.
This is a talk from President Thomas S. Monson, Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (click here to read/watch/listen.)
"In performing our home teaching responsibilities, we are wise if we learn and understand the challenges of the members of each family, that we might be effective in teaching and in providing needed assistance."--As women we also have a responsibility to visit with assigned women in our congregation. I visit 3 women and need to do a better job at discovering their challenges and by making monthly appointments. I commit to make my appointments by Monday.

"The
bishop of each ward in the Church oversees the assigning of priesthood
holders as home teachers to visit the homes of members every month. They
go in pairs. Where possible, a young man who is a priest or a teacher
in the Aaronic Priesthood accompanies an adult holding the Melchizedek
Priesthood. As they go into the homes of those for whom they are
responsible, the Aaronic Priesthood holder should take part in the
teaching which takes place. Such an assignment will help to prepare
these young men for missions as well as for a lifetime of priesthood
service.
The
home teaching program is a response to modern revelation commissioning
those ordained to the priesthood 'to teach, expound, exhort, baptize, …
and visit the house of each member, and exhort them to pray vocally and
in secret and attend to all family duties, … to watch over the church
always, and be with and strengthen them; and see that there is no
iniquity in the church, neither hardness with each other, neither lying,
backbiting, nor evil speaking.'3"--This is a good description of what Home Teaching is which I talked about on Wednesday. My husband has always been a good home teacher and I have always been impressed with his dedication to it. Even the first weekend we met he wanted to spend time with me but needed to do his Home Teaching. I was very impressed with his dedication to the Lord.
