Sunday January 6th

The Sabbath.  It was good to spend one more Sunday with my family and be able to go to church with them.   Something crazy I learned the capstone on top of the Salt Lake temple is a time capsule!  I looked it up on the church news and found an article on it

http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articles/22575/Temple-capstone-laid-100-years-ago.html

"Among the items placed in the receptacle were the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. Also, there were two books by Elder Parley P. Pratt: Voice of Warning and Key to Theology; and a book by Orson Spencer containing correspondence explaining the Church's most prominent doctrines, Spencer's Letters.

Other items placed in the receptacle included photographs of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. A photograph of the temple as it appeared at the time also was placed in the box."

How cool is that? I did not know this.  See the picture how the sphere is two separate parts?  the bottom half is hollow and the top half is the capstone.

  Also, maybe I knew this before and didn't pay attention but the Doctrine and Covenants is known as the Capstone of our religion.  Revelation not only for our day but received in our day as well.

Russian Christmas!

I was able to attend a Russian Christmas party with friends and eat really great food! It was so awesome!
