Mt. View Sunday Summary

This was stake conference weekend.

Sister Cox- mission president's wife

Everyone deserves to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ you can do it by: 1) being yourself, 2) share your membership,

3) Do temple and family history work. “Nothing is more important than the gathering" President Nelson

President Cox - mission president

Youth program is coming September 29th to help youth connect with heaven and members of the godhead through

1) prayer - use prayer to secure blessings God is willing to grant, 2) Connecting with the Savior through the B of M.

2N 31:2, 3) attending church - verifingy the truth

Sister Montague and Brother Montague - supervisors for church service missions

The church fits us all, we feel better when we are doing good, we can be called to be a proselyting Missionary or church service missionaries. There is always a way to serve.

Katy Fuge - YW in Granite Reef ward-

As members of the church we all have opportunities to serve in the temple. It is a place to find peace and receive guidance from the spirit. Going to the temple is worth every sacrifice. We have responsibilities to serve on both sides of the Veil. We are examples to the world and blessed to attend the temple.

Spencer Allen - YM

Being a true a true disciple of Jesus Christ starts with faith. Do this by serving others, standing up for your beliefs, and attending seminary and institute. Sacrifice is worth it with the blessings received, keep the commandments and you will be supported.

Dale Orr - stake high council

1 Peter 5:8 - temptation is dangerous and can be scary. 70% of youth know how to hide social media activity, 1 in 4 teens are receiving explicit texts. There are many roaring lions in this world. 30 minutes to 1 hour of social media time is safe. The average time per day for youth is 9 hours because they have FOMO - fear of missing out.

Kids need to see our love and have us put our phones down. Take a break from the fake and try a 7 day social media fast.

Replace addiction with fun stuff, take the phone out of your bedroom so you can sleep. Ask yourself does this connection make me feel good? If not then delete.

Suzanne Liddle - Primary teacher - Granite Reef ward

Satan's Plan is not happiness. God wants us to choose him. Submission to God's will is all we can place on the altar. All we can give God is our will. Trials are a gift, if we endure we will be filled with the pure love of Christ

Scott Theobald

Work is a universal principle and anyone that is capable is not excused from work. In Genesis and Moses - Jesus Christ created the heavens and the earth. On the 7th day He ended His work and rested. Adam was commanded to work by "dressing” the Garden (cultivating the soil). Look upon work as a blessing. Work trains and strengthens our talents, help us sustain ourselves and work is about more than just earning money. President Nelson has worked and his heart surgery work has changed the world. Parents should teach their children to work. It is a gift but we should balance work with other things such as fine art, music, leisure activities.

Russell Taylor

The first vision is real. Joseph Smith was called to lead the last dispensation. We worship Jesus Christ as our Savior but we admire Joseph Smith and recognize him as our prophet. The invitation was given to find out for yourself and ask God specifically about Joseph Smith and if the Book of Mormon is true.

President Juan Quilantan

In John 1 John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said "Behold the Lamb of God" 2 disciples stayed with the Savior for the day and asked the Master, where do you live. He said, "Come and see." Simon Peter was told he had found the savior, the next day Phillip was found on way to Galilee, once converted to the gospel he was told to "go and share". He shared with Nathaniel who asked, "can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said "Come and see."

When Nathaniel met the savior his heart melted . He knew this was the savior.

As a ministering brother or sister we can invite other to come and see the savior.

PERSONAL STUDY

September 16–22

2 Corinthians 8–13

“God Loveth a Cheerful Giver”

What would you do if you heard that a congregation of Saints in another area was struggling in poverty? This was the situation that Paul described to the Corinthian Saints in 2 Corinthians 8–9. He hoped to persuade the Corinthian Saints to donate some of their abundance to Saints in need. But beyond a request for donations, Paul’s words also contain profound truths about giving: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). In our day, there are still Saints throughout the world who are in need of help. Sometimes the most we can do for them is to fast and donate fast offerings. In other cases, our giving can be more direct and personal. Whatever forms our sacrifices take, it’s worth examining our motivations for giving. Are our sacrifices expressions of love? After all, it’s love that makes a giver cheerful.
