Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

Howard W. Hunter
"He is Risen," Ensign, May 1988

coldest motorcycle ride ever

Neil and Andy decided to head off to the Grand Canyon this weekend. They left Friday afternoon. They called from Panquitch said that the weather was fine, but that it was COLD! They got to Glendale and stayed at the KOA there. Thanks heavens the cabins have heaters or they would've froze to death that night. On Saturday they drove to the Grand Canyon, which Neil said was a very cold ride. Then from there they drove to Ely, Nv. (that's about 10 hrs away). Neil said that it was raining most of the way there. They got to the KOA in Ely and then headed into town for dinner. By the time they got back to their cabin it was a total downpour. It started snowing and hailing that night. They woke up Sunday morning and had to get the snow and ice off the motorcycle and head home. On their way to Delta it started snowing and raining. I'm so glad that Neil had his heated gear for Andy to wear, so Andy didn't freeze to bad. They were both cold when they finally got home, but they made it.
