Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
I have added a new Seminary section to the website. I was looking for websites or blogs with Seminary information. There are pretty much none. I found a fantastic site named Seminary Class Notes and was excited! What a fantastic blog! And the handouts Seminary Mom was making were generic enough to be used for multiple applications across the church. Hooray! I started looking for contact information — couldn’t find…

The new manuals for Relief Society and Priesthood can prove challenging for teachers to use for lesson preparation. Many of us are used to the Primary-style lesson manuals that have clear statements like “read this, ask that, show this, copy that”. But by following a few simple steps, you can plan a great lesson easily. The steps are 1) Start with a plan, 2) Make a great first impression, 3)…

You’ve been investigating the LDS Church, and you’re flying high! The missionaries are awesome — they’ve been helping around the house and sharing spiritual thoughts with you a couple of times a week — and you love and admire them! You’ve read the Book of Mormon and felt the Spirit witness of the truthfulness of its teachings, and you decided to get baptized. What a great week that was! You…

I wanted to write about this earlier while it was fresh on my mind, but I have been busy. Plus I wanted to catch up on some of the other blog posts. Sunday was a really nice sacrament meeting. The theme was the blessings of Relief Society. They had a future RS girl (the Bishop’s daughter, who is a Senior) talk along with the RS president, Crystal, and her counselor…

There is a hill in western New York called Cumorah. It may appear to be an ordinary hill, but for hundreds of years an extraordinary treasure lay hidden in it. When this sacred treasure was finally brought forth, it began to change the world. Over eighteen hundred years had gone by since Jesus lived upon the earth, and people had changed His doctrines and teachings. These changes caused a great…

How well I remember the day Bishop Thatcher called me into his office to extend the call of Relief Society President. I’ve never been so terrified in my entire life! Having served in two Relief Society Presidencies before, I had a pretty good idea about what the calling entailed — and I DID NOT WANT TO DO IT! Despite my trepidation, I accepted the call and did not regret it….

Stake Conference was today. I am trying to find Christ-like things to say about it, but it’s pretty difficult, actually. Two of the talks were very good, 5 were okay, and two were downright bad. I did laugh out loud when the Mission President’s wife said she thought the next YW value should be guilt! Ha! I could just imagine that section in the personal progress book. 200 pages in…

President Thomas S. Monson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints President Monson was born in 1927 in Salt Lake City, Utah. As a boy, he participated in sports activities. He also decided, without having been asked, to cut the lawn of a widow and leave the yard looking much better. As president of his teachers quorum, he was successful in encouraging each member to attend priesthood…

(Information and quotations are from Bible Dictionary—Hezekiah and Isaiah; Isa. 9:6, Isa. 29:4, Isa. 38:1–8, and Isa. 53:9.) Great are the words of Isaiah (3 Ne. 23:1). Anthony peered out the window of his pretend time machine. It was actually a cardboard box that he had decorated with markers, foil, and other things. For several days he had had lots of fun playing in it. Now he was imagining a…

Many years after the Great Flood, the descendants of Noah had multiplied and prospered greatly. They built cities, tilled the land, and became very wealthy. Most of them became wicked and idolatrous and forgot that it was the Lord who had spared their fathers. Some of them decided to build a high tower, which they believed would reach the heavens. The Lord was angry with their behavior, and He confused…

Father plopped a stack of books on the table and announced, “Tonight for family home evening we are going to write our testimonies in a Book of Mormon. Practice first on a piece of paper. Then, using your best penmanship, write your testimony on the inside cover, and sign your name. We’ll glue one of your school pictures underneath it, and tomorrow I’ll give the books to the bishop to…
