Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://ldsscriptureteachings.org/2014/02/12/alma-21-what-didnt-work/ Aaron’s experience in Alma 21 is an illustration that can be used as a comparison to Ammon’s missionary work in Alma 17. While Ammon seeks first to serve, and to understand the people that he is sent to teach, Aaron … Continue reading →
The 2014 Mutual Theme for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is “Come Unto Christ.” The theme is based on the scripture: “Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness” (Moroni 10:32).
My stake is focusing on “Hastening the Work” this year, and one of the things they continually mention is that they want each member in our stake to have a missionary experience. The experience doesn’t have to be baptizing someone, or even having a friend take discussions; they want each person to help someone come unto Christ. I am going to focus on helping the women I visit teach to come closer to Christ this month.
The youth theme this year is focusing on helping the youth to develop relationships with their Savior, and this includes helping friends and family to do the same. I am excited to see the youth in my ward and stake grow closer to Christ as they learn more about Him, obey the commandments, and deny themselves of all ungodliness and embrace lives of happiness, purity, and faithful living.
These two printables are more for the Young Women than the Young Men (probably a little too girly for those Deacons…), but they highlight the beauty and serenity that each Young Woman can feel as they come closer to the Savior of the world. I know that coming unto Christ is the best thing that each person can do, and I am grateful for the personal relationship I have with Him.
What are you doing this year to come unto Christ?

We played pin the tail on the goat. It was fun. And it got me to thinking. How could you do this game in primary? I made this goat poster to play Pin the Tail on the Old Goat….What if you played, “PIN THE TAG ON THE MISSIONARY” instead? Here I am playing the game….what…

2 Nephi 29-30 Today I used the ideas from Teaching the Book of Mormon Part One to teach my lesson. I loved the Fred example from the book and modified it into a comic strip form so that every kids could participate in finding a respoonse to someone who may not be interested in the BoM because they believe God has not shared any of His word anywhere besides the…

2 Nephi 27 Due to some unforseen circumstances, I was completely unprepared ahead of time for this lesson. I had prayed to the Lord to let him know I had been doing my best, but I just could not get the lesson prepared, and went to bed. I HATE having the kids come without a real lesson prepared. I just feel if they are willing to come sacrifice at that…

Oaks’s October 2000 conference talk, “Sharing the Gospel” (see Ensign, Nov. 2000, 81–82). Tell the children the story of the orange juice. Explain that the gospel is far sweeter than orange juice and that we should share it with others. Have the children say, “I can share the gospel with…

Great idea for I Hope They Call Me on a Mission or I Want To be A Missionary Now (or other missionary songs!) Sing and pass envelope around. When music stops, child with envelope opens the “Mission Call”. They read it to the Primary. Find out where it’s to. (Places like the playground, school, library, friend’s house, dance, soccer, home,…
