I decided to create a simple handout for either the young women or relief society sisters to encourage themto prayerfully watch General Conference! As of late I have been on a bit of a nautical kick, which inspired the handout. If you want to pair a treat with the handout you could easily package up some chocolate gold coins or Nestle’s “Treasures”… (mmmmm). Also included on the handout are some “Map Markers” which are…

Do you use Instagram? Well, if you do, I have great news for you:
After a lot of consideration, I decided to start an Instagram account for LDS Printables. I have seen the power of using social media to bring others to Christ, and I feel as though you and I could share our testimonies with (potentially) millions through Instagram. As I get my account going, I’ll be posting lots of previously created printables, as well as the new printables that I’ll be adding to the blog. This is a great missionary opportunity for us! So, come follow me @ldsprintables and help me to spread the gospel! Feel free to follow, like, share, and give me feedback. I’m still so new to the Instagram world… (and I’m learning about hashtags– #majorlyconfusing #oramIjustoutoftheloop )
Anyway, on with the good stuff!
Today’s free printable is a quote that I absolutely adore. It comes from a speech by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and it says, “True love blooms when we care about another person more than we care about ourselves.” (Read the speech here.)
Oh, how true this statement is! I have been learning this the hard way. My husband and I recently had a “discussion” in which we came to the realization that we don’t always respect and honor each other. We tried to break down this truth so we could get to the very center, and it came down to the simple fact that we are both prideful and selfish. Even though we are madly in love, we sometimes miss out on true love because we are being selfish. He and I immediately set a goal to improve. We want to honor, respect, and adore each other unconditionally and forever.
As part of our goal, we decided to seek to care about the other person’s needs more than our own. It is proving to be difficult, as my “natural man” comes out more than I care to admit, but we have already reaped great benefits from our efforts. I love my husband more today than I did a few weeks ago, and that love continues to grow each day. I love my children more as I seek to be less selfish and self-centered. In return, my husband has loved me more and we have served each other in a greater capacity. My children seem pleased with the extra attention and care that they are receiving, as well.
It’s a win-win. We serve others unselfishly, and they serve us unselfishly; we develop true love for one another, and that love grows stronger daily. I like it.
I’m so grateful for the teachings of Christ that are taught to us by the Master and His servants. I’m grateful for living prophets and apostles on the earth who enlighten us and encourage us.
How can you this quote help your love to bloom with someone in your life?
As of late, missionary work has been on my mind. There is such an excitement and enthusiasm for missionary work in the church and I find myself constantly thinking… “How I can get more involved?”“How can I be more prepared to share my testimony?”“How can I show more love?” I recently read the talk “Find the Lambs, Feed the Sheep” from President Hinckley and felt so inspired and motivated!I especially loved when President…

I decided to create some simple 5×7 missionary quotes /sayings.They could be printed off and sent to your favorite missionary for their study area, used as a missionary handout, or printed off and framed! Feel free to print off and use by visiting belowhttp://courtneyaitken.blogspot.com/2013/08/dear-missionary-missionary-prints-elder.html
In Preach My Gospel every missionary’s purpose is clearly outlined. It gives them a goal, a direction, an understanding, and fills their hearts with love for the people they are serving. I decided to create a bookmark that includes the Missionary Purpose from Preach My Gospel. I also created them in a few different languages including English, Spanish, & French.Each bookmark also includes a front and back that you can print…

I used this To Do List with the idea from the Seminary Lesson manual when teaching about the doers of the word. After reading James 1:22-25, students were given several minutes to look over James 1-5 and to write down ways they can be doers of the word. The quote is from For the Strength of Youth (2012 version).
I used this document during our discussion of Hebrews 11, however, the quotes are great for any lesson on faith. ___________________ Faith “I recognize two kinds of faith. The first is the kind which is apparent in the world. It is the common denominator of most everything that goes on. It is the thing that lets us exist. It is the thing that gives us some hope of getting…
