Note: Laman and Lemuel's big mistake was failing to build a relationship with God from their youth, to their journey from Jesurleum, to the New World.

God's gifts are individual and personalized. by Sister Nicole Soderquist

It is a choice to believe.                                                                                 It is a choice not to believe.

In January of 2014, I lost my faith. I confessed to my wife that I no longer believed in God, much less a Church of Jesus Christ. The conversation hurt but was a long time coming. My loss of faith was gradual and then all at once. It felt like my whole world had turned upside down. It hurt. I felt confused and lost.                                                                                              My wife’s reaction surprised me; she did not panic or get defensive. Instead, she told me how excited she was for me. I thought I was leaving the Church, but she reframed what I was feeling as the start of a journey. Then she made me a promise: If I could find more light and truth outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she would follow me. And she meant it.  She removed the need for me to prove the Church was false or to prove the Church was true.  LIGHT AND TRUTH by Austin Fife Jan. 2025

I was up at 6:20 am, had prayer, showered, shaved, and got ready for church.  Debbie slept in, showered, and got ready for church.  We attended Sacrament, Priesthood, and Relief Society Meetings.  After church we came home and had a late breakfast or lunch.  Later about 4:30 PM we drove up to the cabin and met Michael, Alex, Carter, Gavin, Gracie, and their friends, Jamie, Annabella, and Mila, a friend of Gracie and sister to Alex's friend from the UK.  Bart Johnson and his son, Wyatt, came up to the cabin.  They have been living in my sister, Elain's cabin for Wyatt to attend school in Heber, Utah this school year.  Alex and Carter cooked dinner for everyone.  We played games.  Debbie and I got back home, had prayer, and got to bed at about 11:30 pm.

Bart, Wyatt, Leonard, Michael
Alexandra "Alex" and her dad, Michael (still celebrating Michael's birthday)
