Thanksgiving in West Virginia

2017 Diner with Randi and Susan Custer and Sister Jarman and Sister Butts. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I literally get weepy when I think of all the blessings that have been poured out upon my family this year, both immediate as well as extended family. We have been given so much from our Father in Heaven and therefore we too must give.
  This semester in our Institute/Pathway class we have been teaching the course "Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel". We are learning gospel principles that are strengthening our testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Some of the points that have been brought out in our lessons are:
*"Never has anyone offered so much to so many in so few words as when Jesus said, " Here am I, send Me"( Elder Maxwell)
 * The scriptures were written so people might believe in Jesus Christ. The knowledge that Jesus Christ is unchangeable helps us have faith that, just as He kept His promises to the people we read about in the scriptures, He will keep His promises to us.
 * Jesus Christ defeated death and conquered sin and sorrow.
*Jesus Christ was perfect and sinless, not because He had to be, but rather because He clearly and determinedly wanted to be.
* Christ's love is endless. How blessed we are to have this knowledge.
   Nov.17 - We had the opportunity to attend a zone conference with our mission President Lindhardt and Elder and Sister Bradley Foster (of the Quorum of the Seventy).
One of my take a ways was "Lift us your heart and rejoice. The hour of your mission is come. Don't miss it. Make it great.
You'll be blessed if you will teach the members about God's Son, teach them to "Hear Him".
To sum up, we are well, happy, busy and getting cold but that's what jackets are for.
We love you all.
Almost Heaven, Traynors.
