October 14 fall festival

Jesus Christ is the foundation of everything that we believe.

Gospel is,true, used fasting as example, but time is earthly.  God is listening and he is answering on his own time frame. But, because every prayer is not immediately answered sometimes it is and failure to recognize such is a sign of in gratitude.

Relief Society is the epiphany of Jesus Christ.

If not called as a missionary then paint one on your heart.

Membership of church is valuable.

Testimony of preisthood because of hometeaching.

Countless examples of things that provided a strong testimony like dead sea scrolls.

An increase of love distills upon us when we are called to serve particularly as a president, Relief Society is surely an extension of the Lord.  (That emotion is likely how he feels about others)

I know the church is true.

It is one of the most important things to learn is that the Savior loves us individually.

We should serve others.

We should always obey our parents or any care giver, regardless of circumstance.

Mission is about serving people, regardless if they accept your message.

New Sunday School presidency. Now, brother Hirschi a disciple of Christ.

Honesty -
Bary Bonds was dishonest having set record and actually doping (on steriod).

Interesting it sticks with me about the general authority who was released because he told stories as if they were his, but they were not.. I cannot even remember.

Lawyers sleep, lie on right or lie on left?

Truth is portraying the right thing.

"I have been accused of various activities unbecoming a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"I confess that I have not always been accurate in my public talks and writings. Furthermore, I have indulged in other activities inconsistent with the high and sacred office which I have held.
"For all of these I feel a deep sense of remorse, and ask forgiveness of any whom I may have offended.
"My brethren of the General Authorities, over a long period of time, have conducted in-depth investigations of the charges made against me. They have weighed the evidence. They have censured me and placed a heavy penalty upon me.
"I accept their censure and the imposed penalty, and pledge to conduct my life in such a way as to merit their confidence and full fellowship.
"In making these acknowledgements, I plead for the understanding of my brethren and sisters throughout the Church and give assurance of my determination so to live as to bring added respect to the cause I deeply love, and honor to the Lord who is my Redeemer.
"Sincerely, Paul H. Dunn"

Emotion is not necessarily the spirit.

Truth vs opinion

Be kind even when being honest. Like I heard a woman tell another something that could have been tricky to say if done confrontationally. But, she said upfront ,"no. But, the choice is yours, and you will see that there is a reason for this."

If we are not sure and need to ask, it is not true. Maybe ask God.

Is it a lie to tell our children about Santa Clause, (ask God). We are sort of teaching them to lie unless we teach them the purpose of santa.

Teach children when we tell them not to answer the phone, etc.

Joseph has told me that I could not do a thing because I said something and changed my mind, regarding grounding him, I later said that he would not be grounded.

No other alternative is easier than simply being honest. (Gospel is easiest)

There is a glitter force episode about a lie that had different intentions than the life the lie seemed to take upon itself.

Rs lesson.  Joseph Smith fruits of First Vision

Saviors divine intervention is seen through all of his life.

None would be obvious like how God keeps his covenants, by our record of such things as we value. Joseph Smith was even chastised to keep the record of going ons.

Yearly summary as it happens.

Also write down dates and names on photis or you will forget.

Sometimes we see children and babies as older than they were.

Sis Hirschi started talking and it just came out that way when she felt like she should bear her testimony.

Woman saw individuals on top of the temple, was not originally known as the angels they were.

It is interesting to me that my family is in Palmyra, too when that is where the book of Mormon was "burried".

4 churches on 4corners facing eachother.
Was significant to the town of Palmyra, NY.

Many things Joseph Smith knew and wanted to share, but the church was not ready for yet, much like the sealed portions of books that we do not yet have because we do not live what we do have.
