After the second session of conference John, my father-in-law, invited me to go to a member of his branch's house for Priesthood Session. When I realized that they will watch the session in Spanish, I concluded that I should see Lucas' plans to watch it, since they were going to come for dinner. He came a little earlier, and we watched the session together.
It was mind blowing. On the first priesthood session that President Nelson presided over. He restructured the priesthood quorum organizations. The high priest groups have been desolved.
We are staying up late tonight because Mercedes wants to make pumpkin spice cupcakes. I should get to sleep as soon as possible, since the cupcakes will not be baked tonight. I don't want to nap during any of the general conference sessions tomorrow.

One thing that I forgot to write about is a movie that Jessica and I watched. It is called "Leap!". Jessica was avoiding PG-13 movies that night. I have wanted to quit watching PG-13 a while back. The "Strictly Dancing" movie is PG, yet it still had disturbingly suggestive scenes. Movie ratings can't be trusted.
"Leap!" is a new favorite films. It is up there with "Meet the Robinsons" and "Ratatouille." I don't like to watch movies multiple times. The motion pictures mentioned previously are animated movies that made me laugh a lot. I loved the pure humor of these films.
Today's sessions of general conference were as mind blowing yesterday because home and visiting teaching has been canceled church wide to unite the newly expanded elders quorum with the Relief Society.
President Russell M Nelson's speech was so impressive that I think that I should base my talk on it. He taught how to receive revelation. There were a few talks about revelation. Larry Wilson spoke about the same thing. The Gift of the Holy Ghost is member of the Godhead to guide, comfort, and teach. It is called a constant companionship for those that are confirmed with the gift at baptism. We were taught how to have a more intimate and productive companion with the Holy Ghost. Larry spoke about a Navy chaplain, watching the ship for the night, during a typhoon. The boat had three engines. The first was not working, the second was at half power, and third was working.
The captain asked the chaplin, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a former missionary, to pray for the safety of the crew. The chaplin could have just prayed for the safety of the crews, but he prayed to know what to do. After a series of prayers, communications, or revelations, he learned that the fully functioning engine is being overused, and he proposed to the captain to reduce the load of the fully functioning engine; although, other crew members advised opposite. The proposal was heeded to, and the engine endured the night, and they made it out of the storm. The fully functioning crew did quit working when the waters were safe, and the ship puttered to a harbor with the engine with half strength. This is a example of how someone can be of service to man with the constant companionship. God loves everyone in that ship because they are his children, but only one had the Gift of the Holy Ghost, having the God's companionship. The chaplin's intimate work with the Holy Ghost gave him the guidance of the all-knowing Father in Heaven for the situation. President Nelson wants us all to engage their stewardships in a personal ministry with the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost; being worthy, prayerful, loving, and obedient. His speech and the new program of the Church are instructions for all saints to be fruitful servants of God as the chaplin.
Mercedes was able to make the Pumpkin Cupcakes that she was planning to make yesterday. They were so great that I ate my share of four cupcakes all in a row.
Last week or so, the church released a digital rendering of the new temple that will be built in Bangkok, Thailand. I downloaded the picture, putting it on my work computer's wallpaper. Two of my coworkers asked about the building, asking about the stone of the plans. They said that Columbia Stone Inc would like to help build the temple. I wish that I could live in Thailand, and help manage the construction. I am too weak to speak up. My voice would probably prove unfruitful. Our company has bid for several of projects of the church and Utah with near success, but none were rewarded.

Today we prepared red curry for the ward sister missionaries' dinner.
Sunday 8 April 2018
The sister missionaries came at 2:30 PM because they were heading to the temple to serve at the visitor center. We were unable to host them as we have tried to last time. We followed the recipe very accurately; although, I could have measured the paste on a scale. I looked at a cook's conversion table online. My in-laws, which we hosted for dinner later, thought that the curry was excessively spicy. I tried it, and it was not spicy. I doubled the recipe because we were serving double the people. It is apparent that red curry is much more spicy than yellow curry. I put a third cup of paste in my first batch of yellow curry, feeding four people, which were Jasmine, Lucas, Jessica, and I. No one complained. I put a half cup of red curry paste, following the recipe with precision, and everyone except the sisters and I, which we spoke to today, expressed their pain and displeasure greatly. I was not ashamed because I Iived through the same experience, when my mother cooked cowsoy soup for the first time. I wondered about why one of the sister missionaries said that yellow curry is her favorite. Does she actually know the different curry flavors?
Last week a sister on Facebook waved to my profile of the Mormon YSA Blog Spot. I have spoke to her previously. She asked me where she could find a group of young single adults in northern Washington. I understood her difficulty when she told me where she lived. It was remote. I followed up, when she greeted me again, asking if she found a group of young single adults. She affirmed that she did; plus, she has a boyfriend now. I am happy that I was able to help her. I have served as an administrator of the social media pages of the Mormon YSA Blog Spot for years, and it is nice to hear a fruit of my efforts.
The Mormon YSA Blog Spot has actually been growing a lot lately. Most posts have clicks now where as posts rarely would have clicks before.
One thing that I got me thinking about the foundation of people's lives. People should be careful about the foundation that they choose for their lives. Opportunities are given to individuals based on their previous experience. I was given the task of making the cut tickets for the Kingspan insulation panels of the Multnomah County Central Courthouse project. This experience directly related to the experience that I had during my internship with Delta Stone Products to draft cut tickets for the stone. My internship with Delta Stone Products is a surprisingly important foundation of my life. At the time of the experience, the internship was questioned whether it qualifies.
I started my third period of service in a nursery. Jessica served with me today; although, she was sustained to serve a calling to serve in the Cub Scouts today. I built a house out of a toy, putting a windmill on the house. A boy named Desmond caught on to the word windmill, repeating it several times. I tried to talk to him about the wind and the electricity that windmills can produce, but the children barely speak. I asked a girl her name, and I thought that she said Gabriela. Another nursery leader said that her name is Lily. Lily is a common name based on my experience serving in the nursery. The children seem to mumble around me, but I have heard them speak well to people that they are familiar with.

A company asked me to participate in their blogging marketing campaign, but I have been quiet about it because I thought that it might be a scam. They would reply to email once a week, which I thought was odd. The company's name is ThermaLeaf. I will write about it more later. I want to get this posted.
