If you are considering suicide please call 
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK [8255]).

“I tried to smile and hide my darkness. I remember waking up on my 17th birthday wanting to end my life.”
In many cases, suicide prevention is a painful, long-term process. A young man talks about his struggle with depression and the persistent feelings of pain and emptiness that seemed overwhelming. He chose to stay alive for his family and his friends. He chose to stay alive and experience the small and simple things that he loves. He chose to stay alive because he finally realized that he doesn’t have to stay alone. His message to others fighting the same battle: “You can choose to stay too.”

The 2 Great Commandments
1) Love the Lord thy God
2) Love thy Neighbor
Matthew 22:36-40
 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?                                                                                           37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.                                                                                                                                                                                 38 This is the first and great commandment.                                                                                                                 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.                                                                   40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
"We love him, because he first loved us"
Let us be known as a people who love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and who love our neighbor as ourselves. When we understand and practice these two great commandments in our families, in our wards and branches, in our nations, and in our daily lives, we will begin to understand what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus the Christ. ~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Noelia Cabrera 
Our lives are blessed by service 


Katherine Nelson 
Shared what she has done to prepare to serve a mission 
  1. Attend all meetings and activities                                                                                             "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."  Matthew 18:20 
  2. Read your scriptures daily. Take time to Memorize scriptures                                                Memorizing scripture passages can help you understand them better.                                                        Memorized passages can provide you with help, inspiration, comfort, and motivation.                                  Memorized scriptures can add power to the words you use to teach others.
  3. Pray always 

President Russell Taylor
 Spoke on personal revelation 
"If we are to have any hope of sifting through the myriad of voices and the philosophies of men that attack truth, we must learn to receive revelation"

 "I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation. "

"Choose to do the spiritual work required to enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost and hear the voice of the Spirit more frequently and more clearly."

"I promise that as you continue to be obedient, expressing gratitude for every blessing the Lord gives you, and as you patiently honor the Lord’s timetable, you will be given the knowledge and understanding you seek. Every blessing the Lord has for you—even miracles—will follow. That is what personal revelation will do for you."

Russell M. Nelson 

1. Prepare our body, mind & spirit to ponder 
2. Understand how the Holy Ghost speaks to us individually                                                                  3. Write down impressions, counsel & wisdom that come to us through the Holy Ghost                      4. ACT on the revelation AS we receive it 
Never suppress a feeling to help others 

and remember to 
Read the Book of Mormon 
Everyday, Everyday, Everyday


Noah Oar
Shared a story of a talented gymnast who had just returned home from serving a mission. This young man was preparing for the Olympics when he had a terrible accident during one of his competitions and fell 10 feet onto the concrete which resulted in shattering all 5 
 metatarsals in his foot.  Surgery to repair his foot resulted in 3 plates, screws and pins to keep his foot together. This young mans life changed in an instant and now will require a year of healing and then months of therapy and hard work to compete again. 
This young man he was speaking of was himself . . . . 
Noah's faith in his Savior is what gives him the strength. 
He is reminded that 
He will make weak things become strong
Our mortal life will present continual opportunities for trials and refinement.  
"How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never
ever easy for Him? ~ Holland
Remember the lord is our perfect example , he is our captain 


President Juan Quilantan 
We are the Lords hands here on earth,
it is our responsibility to serve those around us.  

Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me.
3 Nephi 9:14

The Holy Ghost communicates with Heavenly Father’s children in a variety of ways. Communication may come as a moment of clarity, a warm feeling, or a prompting of encouragement to make the right choice. Listen as ordinary people describe their own experiences with this trusted influence. “If we pay attention to the promptings that come to us, we will grow in the spirit of revelation and receive more and more Spirit-driven insight and direction”
(Ronald A. Rasband, “Let the Holy Spirit Guide,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2017, 96).
