Church Services This Week at Oak Ridge Ward Layton North Stake Layton Utah 30 October 2016

From the Bulletin
“...the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others.” (President Gordon B Hinckley, “Whosoever Will Save His Life”, Ensign August 1982)

“In these latter days, we know there will be earthquakes in diverse places.16 Perhaps one of those diverse places will be in our own homes, where emotional, financial, or spiritual “earthquakes” may occur. Priesthood power can calm the seas and heal fractures in the earth. Priesthood power can also calm the minds and heal fractures in the hearts of those we love.” (Russell M Nelson, “The Price of Priesthood Power”, April 2016 General Conference)

Sacrament Meeting
Mosiah 2:17
 17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

Jesus was the perfect example of service.

You can serve by doing temple and family history work.” (“For the Strength of Youth”, “Service”)

Service is the secret to happiness.

We need to be grateful for everything the Lord had blessed us with.

We become prideful when we stop saying thank you.

A part of gratitude is receiving.

If you want to be happier, then count your blessings.

3 Nephi 8-10
Helaman 14:21-23
 21 Yea, at the time that he shall yield up the ghost there shall be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours, and the earth shall shake and tremble; and the rocks which are upon the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and beneath, which ye know at this time are solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;
 22 Yea, they shall be rent in twain, and shall ever after be found in seams and in cracks, and in broken fragments upon the face of the whole earth, yea, both above the earth and beneath.
 23 And behold, there shall be great tempests, and there shall be many mountains laid low, like unto a valley, and there shall be many places which are now called valleys which shall become mountains, whose height is great.

3 Nephi 8:5-7
 5 And it came to pass in the *thirty and fourth year, in the first month, on the fourth day of the month, there arose a great storm, such an one as never had been known in all the land.
 6 And there was also a great and terrible tempest; and there was terrible thunder, insomuch that it did shake the whole earth as if it was about to divide asunder.
 7 And there were exceedingly sharp lightnings, such as never had been known in all the land.

The three days of darkness are the same as the three days Christ's body was in the tomb.

Everything in the temple and the gospel is related to the atonement.

Repentance is not something we do once, but everyday.

“What was the object of gathering the … people of God in any age of the world? … The main object was to build unto the Lord a house whereby He could reveal unto His people the ordinances of His house and the glories of His kingdom, and teach the people the way of salvation; for there are certain ordinances and principles that, when they are taught and practiced, must be done in a place or house built for that purpose.“ (History of the Church, 5:423–25, 427; paragraph divisions altered; from a discourse given by Joseph Smith on June 11, 1843, in Nauvoo, Illinois; reported by Wilford Woodruff and Willard Richards;)

Joint Relief Society and Priesthood Meeting
They introduced us to FamilySearch Zoning.  It is a tool to let you identify zones in scanned newspapers that contain data about people.  For example, identifying where an obituary is on a page.  This is especially useful if it spans columns or is interrupted by other things on the page.

Doctrine and Covenants 128:8
 8 Now, the nature of this ordinance consists in the power of the priesthood, by the revelation of Jesus Christ, wherein it is granted that whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Or, in other words, taking a different view of the translation, whatsoever you record on earth shall be recorded in heaven, and whatsoever you do not record on earth shall not be recorded in heaven; for out of the books shall your dead be judged, according to their own works, whether they themselves have attended to the ordinances in their own propria persona, or by the means of their own agents, according to the ordinance which God has prepared for their salvation from before the foundation of the world, according to the records which they have kept concerning their dead.
