Primary 3 - A Lost Account

Dear Class,

This week we are studying Doctorine and Covenants 3-5.

We want to stress at this time that these commandments and instructions were given to us, the Book of Mormon had not come forth and although Joseph had seen a vision, he had not caught the vision. 

You see he and his friend Martin while translating was bothered by his wife and friends for proof of the work and of the Devine nature of the the message. What saddens many is that Martin and Joseph though had revelation and visions had not caught the vision and because of it was swayed to let the manuscript to be taken.

You may be asking, how do I catch the vision? What is the vision? Our dear brothers and sisters, the vision is your testimony of the gospel, your testimony of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father wants us to understand the Atonement, testify of Christ and not be swayed by the devil's cunning words.

We want you to not just have a testimony but share it; share it with your mom and dad, your brothers and sisters, all your family. We encourage you to read the scriptures. Remember families are truly forever. Also  know, as we do, that Joseph caught the vision and because he caught it, we have the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price.

D&C 4 is such an awesome section that helps us see how we can catch that vision. The Lord tells us that a marvelous work is about to come forth. He tells us that if we have a desire to serve them we are called to that work. What an awesome opportunity we are given  to helpful Lords work progress. He also gives us characteristics that we need to have and develop.  If We put forth the effort we were promised that we will be blessed. The Lord says if we knock it shall be opened unto us.

Just as the prophets have caught the vision, we encourage you to share your vision. Again we are blessed to be your teachers. We love you and encourage you to find joy in this week.

Challenge for the week.
