Happy Labor Day weekend Sisters! We may have been few in numbers today, but always strong in Spirit! Karen Fairbanks gave the Visiting Teaching message for this month and shared with us the great examples of her mother and grandmother were in her raising, and giving her a strong foundation in the church. As you prepare to go visiting this month think of people that have nurtured you that you may be able to share with the sisters you teach.
Adrianne Morris gave a great lesson today from the talk given by Elder Bednar "Watching With All Perseverance" this is a great talk that is well worth reading again! He talks of early warning systems that are in place in society and in our bodies to warn us of danger. Adrianne shared an experience she had with her son having a fever, that warned her of pneumonia. The Lord has given us a spiritual warning system that contains three components: read and discuss the Book of Mormon, bearing testimony and inviting children to act not merely to be acted upon. Several sisters shared ideas for having spontaneous discussions on gospel principles and sharing your testimony and being an example of doing what you teach. The most important aspect for us to learn is to listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and act upon those promptings.
