Good Afternoon Sisters!
We are ordering water and bath towelettes for our 72 hour kits this month. Please see the order form outside the RS Room and in the Binders.
Our lesson this week was given by Sister LaDean Gillman and was on preparing our children to serve missions. LaDean shared with us a message that was given by Elder Bednar at the Institute at UVU. He asked everyone to turn to the Joseph Smith History. He pointed out that after Joseph had seen the Father and the Son in the sacred grove that in verse 20 the next place he went was HOME. There he found his mother and she inquired of him "what was wrong". He replied "never mind, all is well- I am well enough off. I have learned for myself..."
As mothers we have the responsibility to teach our children the gospel so that one day they may learn for themselves that the gospel is true.
Suggestions on how to prepare children for missions:
Set goals, Read the scriptures as a family, start a missionary fund early, Encourage youth to spend time away from home with other family members or church activities or college, Teach them how to work and care for themselves, take care of their mental health, develop positive social skills, develop leadership skills and Manage their money wisely.
Great blessings come to them and to the families of missionaries.
Thanks to everyone who helped with the Karren's funeral luncheon. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
