Dear Sisters, Sister Taylor’s lesson today was on Bringing Up Children in Light and Truth. Children are still Heavenly Father’s children and in order for these children to withstand Satan’s influence we must raise these children in truth and light. The lesson listed many things, such as teaching our children to pray and read the scriptures, that we can do to help children understand the gospel. President Smith said, “[Children] are given unto us that we might train them in the ways of life, eternal life, that they might come back again into the presence of God, their Father.” Next week’s lesson will be from the following talks on Family History: *Elder Cook’s Conference talk in April 2014 titled, Roots and Branches. *Elder Bednar’s talk from October 2011 titled The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn. *Elder Scott’s talk from October 2012 titled, The Joy of Redeeming the Dead Please print out and bring these talks with you.
