Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Dear Sisters,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Our lesson this week was given by Sister Pam Eames and was based on the talk given by Elder Richard G. Scott titled Make the Exercise of Faith Your First Priority. This is a talk on the basics of the gospel (and coincidentally our ward goals): daily prayer, daily scripture study, weekly FHE and regular temple attendance.   

Prayer- Our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and he cares about everything in our lives. Elder Scott tells us to make prayer a “non-negotiable priority in your daily life.” 

Scripture Study- Do we need to re-prioritize our life so that our scripture study gets done?  “If so, do it!” says Elder Scott.  He also tells us to make scripture study an “integral part of everyday life.”  Weekly FHE- Elder Scott cautions us to not let FHE become “just an afterthought of a busy day.”  Regular Temple Attendance “Don’t let anyone or anything prevent you from being there” says Elder Scott. 

Next week’s lesson will be the Introduction and Chapter 1 of our new Ezra Taft Benson manual.
