Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Sing “Before I Take the Sacrament” (CS, p. 73). Show a picture of the Last Supper and explain that just before His Crucifixion, Jesus gave His Apostles the sacrament so that they would have a way to always remember Him and His sacrifice and so that they could have His Spirit to be with them. The sacrament is such an important ordinance that during a solemn assembly in the temple,…

Abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost (Rom. 15:13). It had been only a few months since Peter’s father, Dr. Mattias Koteles, a professor at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, had attended an important scientific conference in Austria. On his return, he had told his family an exciting story that had nothing to do with the conference but that he had heard from one of the American…

Henry B. Eyring, “Draw Closer to God,” Friend, Feb 1992, inside front cover (Adapted from an April 1991 general conference address. See Ensign, May 1991, pages 65–67.) Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you (D&C 88:63). You can talk with people every day who say that God does not exist or is far, far away. A woman who sat next to me on a plane once…

I was sitting in Church on Sunday listening to a great talk — seems like it was LaRene’s — and it occurred to me that a weak testimony could be founded on ideas and understanding of the relationship they have with God on His tender mercies, instead of the gospel plan. When we first moved in, I noticed that people in this ward seemed to talk about the “tender mercies”…

The webpage just keeps getting better and better! The new theme is now tweaked to suit my purpose, and I will say it looks very good. I’ve started adding the new products — now all that’s left is the bracelet kits and balloons. I got the charms up yesterday. (Man, that took forever.) I am delighted that it’s coming together. Jared has written code to start adding lessons to the…

My family has always been my greatest teacher. I was born in Sevilla, Spain; then my family moved to Paraguay and later to Uruguay. Because we moved around, I often had to say good-bye to my friends. I relied more and more upon my family to be my friends. We learned to enjoy being with each other. Today many children spend most of their day with their friends; I spent…

Bishop told me in my PPI Sunday that I am about to be released in a couple of weeks. He even asked me for my ideas on who would make a good replacement. Huh? It was kind of weird. I almost wish he hadn’t told me, because now I’m having trouble focusing on the calling. I keep thinking about all the free time I’m about to have — primarily to…

I got back to the gym today for the first time in ages. I bet it’s been 2 months. Things have been crazy in the mornings here, and I was excited to get things straightened out so that I could go again. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I finally found the keys that had my gym card on them, too!!!! I prayed and prayed…… I lifted for about 15…

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…
