Hi!
3 Nephi 11: 5-17
And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did aopen their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came.
And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them:
Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him.
And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.
And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying:
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning.
And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the whole multitude fell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been prophesied among them that Christ should show himself unto them after his ascension into heaven.
And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying:
Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole dearth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
And when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying:
Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him.

Equus: Well...there's a birthday coming up. ^_^ Or there will be.

Xihuitl: It's supposed to be a surprise, Equus.

Sano: But they still don't know about it, Xihuitl. They don't get on the Internet.

Xihuitl: No, they live on the Internet. And they are free to come here and visit anytime, Sano.

Sano: >.>

Kyo-clone: They're not here right now anyway, Xihuitl.

Xihuitl: Why is everyone arguing with me?

Emeraulde: I'm not.

Equus: *eep* Emeraulde, where did you come from?

Emeraulde: I live here.

Equus: Heh heh. True.

Xihuitl: Um, Emeraulde sweetie, why don't you go help Kurama-chan in the garden?

Emeraulde: All right. *glances at Equus suspiciously and trots out*

K-c: Way to go, Equus. You almost gave it away.

Equus: o.o *whimpers*

Sano: Don't yell at her.

Xihuitl: He didn't yell. Equus honey, it's all right. Don't worry about it. As for you, K-c.

K-c: Well, it's true.

Kakashi #4: Why don't we go help take the dogs outside. Then we can get things ready for the birthday, Kyo-clone.

K-c: Yeah, sure. Whatever. (leaves)

Equus: *whimpering into Sano's shoulder*

Xihuitl: Equus, honey, it's okay. K-c will probably be back later to apologize.

Sano: Hmph. Don't count on it.

Xihuitl: You aren't helping, Rooster.

Sano: Hey!

Kurama #3: We interrupt our usual program in order to spare you listening to the endless argument.

Emeraulde: It's not really endless, Kurama-sama. Is it?

Kurama #3: ^^ Of course not. Just until they can sort it out.

Emeraulde: All right. Who were they talking about earlier?

Kurama #3: I don't know. I've been in the garden all afternoon.

Emeraulde: True.

Kurama #3: Thank you, Night Shade2, for visiting. ^_^ The weather has been fluctuating here. Thursday and today were mild, but yesterday was chilly and sometimes rainy. But they're all necessary and good in their own ways, aren't they? Emeraulde, why don't we go make dinner now? Then they'll have to come together and sort things out.

Emeraulde: All right.

Kurama #3: Remember, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you. Here are your hugs and pocket hugs for the weekend. Take care.

Emeraulde: God bless.

Fact of the day: Lagomorphs (such as rabbits and hares) and rodents have similarities, including the reason that they're often shown with bucktooth. Their incisors (the four front teeth, two on top, two on bottom) never stop growing. If they have maloccluded teeth, the teeth will grow too long for them to eat properly. But normal incisors are properly aligned and grind against each other, keeping each other at a proper length.
