- The Liberty Jail, a horrible memory, a horrible place of darkness in Church History was filled with light and made into a prison temple with all of the Revelations that were received there by the Prophet Joseph Smith. In the most miserable experiences of our lives, they can become moments of light and knowledge to us.

- Sometimes we act like we're going to stay here, but we aren't, we can't and we won't. -Elder Holland
- Three Things that the Adversary tries to get us with: 1. Confused about who we are. 2. Keep us from understanding what the Savior did for us and what he will do for us. 3. Keep us from receiving personal revelation. Things we need to keep in mind. 1. We have always been a child of God. Not just now. We're here and were on assignment. The lord wouldn't send us here at this time if we couldn't handle it. Abraham 3:22-23. 2. He didn't just make it possible for us to repent, he made it possible to heal us. 3. Our degree of purify is a prerequisite to feeling the spirit and having it's guidance in our lives. "Receiving Revelation" Richard G. Scott 2009 General Conference.

- We do all that we can to get the fruit, we water the seed, we feed the seed, we shelter it from storms, but there is something that we cannot control and that is the sun. The son blesses the seed and helps it grow in a way that nothing else can.

I then also made some homemade Salsa and Guacamole, which both are delicious by the way! I made them the night before we had our neigbors over for dinner, so we would have less things to do the next day.
Blender Salsa
6 Roma Tomatoes ~ 2 Jalapeno Peppers ~ 1 Green or Red Bell Pepper ~ 1/2 c fresh Cilantro ~ 1 clove Garlic ~ 1 c Onion ~ 1 tsp Salt
Coarsely chop the tomatoes and peppers. In a sauce pan simmer the tomatoes and peppers until soft and tender, then pour into the blender. Add the chopped cilanto and minced garlic, onion, and salt to the blender. Pulse until salsa reaches desired consistency. Very good served both right out of the blender or chilled.
Chuncky Guacamole with Tomato
Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
2 ripe Avacado's ~ 3 tbsp finely chopped yellow onion ~ 1 Jalapeno Pepper, minced~ 1 tbsp chopped fresh Cilantro ~ 1 tbsp Lime Juice ~ 1 clove garlic, minced ~ 1 large Tomato ~ Salt-to taste
Combine the coarsely chopped avacado's, onion, pepper, cilantro, lime juice and garlic. Mash with a fork until the avacado is chuncky but not smooth. Stir in the diced tomato and season with salt. Cover and keep refridgerated until ready to serve.
