Lesson on Sunday!! Training on the Sabbath and the Home.

We missed you if you couldn't be with us.  The bishop conducted a training that came from our First Presidency and the 12.

 
Quote from Elder Bednar:  The basic reason for teaching in the Church is to make available the Priesthood ordinances that make it possible for a man and a woman to be sealed together and then to have their children sealed to them in the holy temples.  END OF STORY!!  EXCLAMATION POINT! PERIOD!!

That is our purpose!!

Elder Bednar talked about multi-generational families.  They give great strength to the kingdom.

He gave a great analogy of a seedling growing into a mature tree...

The mature tree then sends out seeds to plant more trees.  The older and dead trees then nurture the ground to help the young trees grow..It soon becomes a forest of good nurtured trees...

Teachers and leaders in the church are there to help with teaching and training our children BUT teaching of children is still the responsibility of parents.  Learning and living the Savior's gospel in the home is essential in creating and maintaining multi-generational families. 

Having home discussions about gospel principles is so important.

President Grimm in the training that they gave to us talked about coming home after all of his meetings on Sunday---Kicking his shores off, taking his tie off, getting into his PJs, eating a meal on the couch while watching programs he had taped, and talking to his wife.

The brethren initiated the consolidated meeting schedule on the Sabbath to give us more time with our families.  He used to fill his schedule on Sunday with things that have to do with administrating rather than ministering.  We are not to neglect our responsibilities and callings but we need to do less administrating and more ministering.

The Sabbath is a sign of the covenants we have made at baptism and in the temple. 

IT IS THE INTENT OF OUR HEARTS!!

WHAT SIGN ARE WE WANTING TO SEND TO THE SAVIOR ABOUT HOW WE HONOR THE SABBATH.  There doesn't need to be a list of things we can and cannot do on the sabbath!!  It is the sign between you and your Heavenly Father!!!

Great training!!  It's a personal thing.  Between you and the Lord.    

And another new family in the ward!!!

Charity and Kasey Twitchell have moved into a home on Bristlecone.  Their address is 302 W. Bristlecone Dr.  They are an awesome family!!  They have 2 children...Makinley who is 10 and Creed who is 13.   Please take a minute to welcome them.  We are being blessed with great families moving into our ward.  It makes us happy to see us grow.  The more the merrier I always say.  We are so excited to have them!! 

We have another new family!!!

Great Lesson on Sunday---Thanks Kathy

Kathy gave a great lesson from an article in the April 1994 New Era.  It was written by Neal A. Maxwell

Entitled--True Believers!!

Here are a few quotes:

True Believers are settled in their views of Christ.

True believers gladly perform their duties in the kingdom.  

True believers are humble...

True believers are willing to do what Christ wants

True believers have a balanced contentment.

They truly pray

They have both right conduct and right reasons for that conduct.

They rejoice in the success of others.

They remember that forgetting is part of forgiving.

They are innocent as to sin, but not naive.  They are kind, but candid.

True believes are HAPPY. They are serious about how they live life, but are also of good cheer.  Their humor is the humor of hope and modesty, not the hollow laughter of sarcasm and despair.  

This article is so good.  Read it!!  You will love it too!!
