Announcements 2/8/15

Dear Sisters,

Our lesson this week was given by Sister Michelle Stephan and was from Chapter 3 of the Ezra Taft Benson manual. Agency is an eternal principle and this life is a time of testing where we have the ability to choose between good and evil. Decisions we make determine our happiness and those decisions require us to earnestly seek our Father in heaven. We watched a beautiful video on Joseph Smith’s first prayer.  This quote went along with it: “The very salvation of millions of men and women in the dispensation of the fulness of times depends upon that decision! We must keep in mind that individuals do matter and that decisions they make may greatly affect the lives of others.”

Our lesson next week will be given by Sister Hanks and is chapter 4 of the Ezra Taft Benson manual, Living Joyfully in Troubled Times.
