         The over-night quests filled the temple today and kept us busy.  They will certainly be back tomorrow.  There were several sisters who were here for the first time today and I loved helping them.

         The writing style has changed over the years and some of these words and expressions may seem a little unusual to our ears which are accustomed to carefulness and political correctness.  Nonetheless, here is Fundamental #3 from Pres. Benson:

“Third:  The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.”

“The living prophet has the power of TNT.  By that I mean “Today’s News Today.”  God’s revelations to Adam did not instruct Noah how to build the ark.  Noah needed his own revelation.  Therefore, the most important prophet, so far as you and I are concerned, is the one living in our day and age to whom the Lord is currently revealing His will for us.  . . . Our marching orders for each six months are found in the general conference addresses . . .”

I really liked the part about our “marching orders”!

It rained on us tonight walking home from the temple.  My sweet husband arrived at our apartment ahead of me after our shift, left his damp suit jacket on a chair, picked up an umbrella, and returned to the temple to provide cover from the rain for me while we walked back together under shelter.  J

Love to Each One!!
