-whole wheat Sacrament bread : )
-Jenna Dearden-The Holy Ghost
-inspire, reveal & teach all things
-when investigating as teen, parents imposed 1 year probation during which The Holy Ghost testified she was doing the right thing
-when her grandfather was killed in a robbery, The Holy Ghost nudged her to get home to her family calmly & quickly without seeing the crime scene & learning brutally. Normally she detoured by the family store on her way home just to see that everything was ok. This time she was gently prompted to go straight home. She had a calm feeling, no alarm. She arrived home t ofind lots of family gathered. Only when she was safely with people she loved, did she learn the sad news about her grand ather. -her best friend & family were there when she found out-her Bishop came and gave her a blessing
-we do not get a full testimony by skimming but by constant daily study
-Thomas S. Monson -our spiritual nature within us should not be dominated by our physical being
-Mary Young Williamson-as we let our light shine, we give others permission to do also

-spirituality determined by -outlook & priorities
