Sacrament Meeting
What an amazing sacrament meeting it was
Sophia Packard (just an FYI she just turned 16 and now is of dating age) 
Sophia spoke Gratitude 

Luke 17:11-19
When Christ healed the ten lepers, only one came back to give thanks.
In a society that grows increasingly hectic, how often do we run from the house
 without stopping to thank Him? 
This one leper reminds us that 
there is always time for thanks, always time for gratitude. 


Entitlement is the work of the adversary 
When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships.                              - Steve Maraboli


Lexi Nickel Shared beautiful and uplifting stories of her ancestors traveling across the plains to the west and the great examples that have been provided for her through their lives. 



Musical Number by Adi & Jason Davis "A Child's Prayer"

Jason Davis reported on his mission to Milan, Italy. Everyone in attendance was touched by the spirit that permeated this meeting. 


Moroni 7
13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.


15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.

17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.

Jason reminded us that
"Good thoughts are from God and we need to act on them"

One of the greatest blessings from his mission was when he would see people's lives change as they began to live the principles of the gospel. 

Jason shared how learning through the spirit will guide us and direct us every moment of our life if we will seek it


Jason shared how while on his mission he took Moroni's Promise and he prayed to know if the Book of Mormon and it's teachings were true and he received a firm answer that 
"Yes, It is True"

He closed his talk by sharing the words to the 4th verse of 
I Believe in Christ 
and then his beautiful testimony in Italian

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I'll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain."
I believe in Christ; so come what may,
With him I'll stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.
