Just a thought . . . . 

Sometimes you just need to survive. Sometimes making it all the way through a single day is a victory. Give yourself some credit. You are still on your feet. You are still here. Despite all that you've faced you've made it through each day. If others really knew what you were going through, they'd be amazed that you are doing as great as you are. Keep moving forward and keep your chin up because one of these days you are going to understand the purpose behind all this difficulty. Who knows, the miracle you need may be just around the corner.        (Hank Smith)

Sacrament Meeting

Speaker Bob Collins Stake SS president

His responsibility is to assist in teaching the doctrine of repentance

Heavenly Father created us to  be like him.

Quoted Alma 48:17  We should be like Moroni

17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

And D&C 88:32 

We must be willing to accept the gospel and God's gifts

32 And they who remain shall also be quickened; nevertheless, they shall return again to their own place, to enjoy that which they are willing to receive, because they were not willing to enjoy that which they might have received.

Speaker John Transtrum Stake High Council

God is like our music teacher.  He asks us to practice practice practice, not for his benefit but for ours.  We are to improve our gifts.  The purpose of practice is change and improvement.  

Forsaking sins involves a fundamental change.  Repentance is conversion.

Sacrament Meeting 11:00

We may not have crossed the plains as ‪‎pioneers‬ ourselves, and we may struggle with a ‪‎faith‬ that has not been tested enough, or too much. But we must all find our own trail of sacrifice, struggle, and determination to reach the Promised Land of eternity. We must have the same conviction of the pioneers to stand against the difficulty of the world, striving to prove faithful, believing that families can truly be together forever. 

Can we do it? Yes, we can!

Deborah Inman - Spoke about the topic of Education in the 

For the Strength of Youth Pamphlet

Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.

Doctrine and Covenants 130:18

Education is an important part of Heavenly Father’s plan to help you become more like Him. He wants you to educate your mind and to develop your skills and talents, your power to act well in your responsibilities, and your capacity to appreciate life. The education you gain will be valuable to you during mortality and in the life to come.

We had the wonderful opportunity to hear from

1. My Heavenly Father loves me and knows me perfectly
Hebrews 12:7
D&C 105:6

2. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the best medicine.
2 Nephi 31

Brooke encouraged us to ponder this chapter in Nephi verse by verse

3. Charity ❤️
