LORD'S DAY



Joy and I did end up going to the last two services of Conference. They were beautiful. We witnessed the ordinations of two apostles and some patriarch-evangelists and a president of seventy. We are commanded to keep the doors open and the promise is that the people will move toward unification.





Notes from Men's class at Israel's Gathering:



Today an Elder asked me to help take up offering. Thank you so much for this, Father!



This morning Joy's daughter testified that during last week's prayer and testimony service, between prayer time and testimony time, she saw a red-colored liquid falling over her face and heard a voice saying “This is the blood of Jesus” or words to that effect. When she gave this testimony, my Uncle said that she was covered by Jesus' blood.



Tonight after reviewing this morning's service, an aforementioned Elder, who was absent from this morning's service, was served communion by an aforementioned Priest . Then we discussed memorial service plans for Nephi. It is now May 27th and that memorial service was beautiful!



Man must go down before he can be filled and rise again. -Same Elder.



Going down is the spirit of repentance. -my Uncle.



He loves His love into you- something another aforementioned Elder says.



He loves His agency into us -First Elder I mentioned.



When you convert something that is not human, like a car, you are changing it from one use to another. -Joy's brother.



You have been Church members all your lives and you have never been converted -First Elder I mentioned, quoting Arthur Oakman.



If you have a desire, he will put a greater desire in you for you to know it and you will be filled.- Same Elder.



A lot of times God gives you the answer but we do not recognize it because we think we already have the answer. - my Uncle.



John 17 -First Elder I mentioned.

Thank You Heavenly Father for this little notebook. Amen.

An aforementioned Sister, doing Early Morning Worship, shared story of a man whose entire estate was worth the price of the portrait of his only son.



She also read from ‘Abide In Christ’ by Andrew Murray, and some Scriptures from the Bible. “He that hath the Son of God hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (I John 5:11-12, 20)

She played a song about the woman at the well by Casting Crowns. (John 4)

When God asks you to give something up, he will give it back to you.

“All who thirst will thirst no more, and all who search will find what their souls long for.”

"Leave it all behind, come to the well”

Notes on Book of Mormon Class:

People of Brother of Jared live righteously; righteous kings; wicked kings; people of Brother of Jared live wickedly; prophets come more than once; secret combinations.

We talked about how Christ is the anchor to the soul (Ether 5:4).

Praise God! An aforementioned Elder came back to Israel’s Gathering today! (PAGE +N1+)

On Lord’s Day, 08/07/16, during Men’s Class (also called Priesthood Class, but called Men’s class for those men not in the PH), we started a new book by Andrew Murray called, ‘The Spiritual Life’. That morning was First Sunday. We took Communion.
