Letter to the Class

What ye have written is My will, and is acceptable unto Me: 2 And furthermore: Thus saith the LORD unto the First Presidency, unto the Twelve, unto the Seventies and unto all My holy Priesthood, let not your hearts be troubled, neither be ye concerned about the management and organization of My Church and Priesthood and the accomplishment of My work. 3 Fear Me and observe My laws and I will reveal unto you, from time to time, through the channels that I have appointed, everything that shall be necessary for the future development and perfection of My church, 4 For the adjustment and rolling forth of My kingdom, and for the building up and the establishment of My Zion. 5 For ye are My Priesthood and I am your God. Even so. Amen. Today our dear class, we wish to start by saying God continues to give revelation by showing you the revelation given to the prophet John Taylor in April 1883. Our Father wants you all to know that He has revealed in the past, present and will in the

The miracle of forgiveness and the warning of sin. At times we learn that the Lord asks us to forgive, in fact he asks us to forgive all men (D&C 64:8-11). We were taught a great example of this in a Conference in 2011 by Dean Byrd. To sum up the story, a boy is camping with friends when he is bit by a rattlesnake. The youth had two decisions, get revenge or get help. The boy and his friends chased down the snake and kill it. The boy, because of his choice lost his leg to the poison. Had he chose to forgive the beast and get help, he could of saved his leg.  Brothers and sisters, we strongly urge you and plead with you to forgive everyone. Hanging on to anger, fear or pain just hurts you. Like poison in your body, poison of the soul will cause decay and corruption. Star Wars summed it up like this... Fear leads anger... Anger leads to hate... Hate leads to suffering... Let us not be pushed to wanting to keeping poison in our souls. Forgive and have faith. Faith will bui

Our dear brothers and sisters, Today we were studying D&C 63. At the time saints were having troubles with trials of their faith. Brothers and sisters, the Lord reminds us over and over faith precedes the miracle. At the time saints wanted miricles because they had been shown Zion in a vision and it was nothing like it was that day. The wanted the miricle first.  When we came to earth we were Celestial being being sent to a Terrestrial world. During our time we pick up habits and behaviors that take us farther and farther from heaven. While we are here we must find, nurture and grow our faith so that we can be worthy to come home.  Father in Heaven is eager to strengthen our faith and when we reach out to Him, He reaches out to us. Those that understand this principle come to realize that heaven will produce miracles over and over. All you have to do is look. When Laman and Lemuel recieved a angel (a miracle) ( 1 Nephi 3:27-30 ), it didn't strengthen their faith as

Our wonderful class, Today we are studying D&C 61-62. We wanted to make a point to show you that at times we think that we are simple people with no exceptal ability or talent like simple metals or stones. Missionaries can feel that way too. As children of God, we do not see the end result from the beginning. That at times can lead to frustration from the pressure and heat that hits us frequently. As saints of Almighty God, we are asked to give thanks for these experiences. The reason why is that Heavenly Father loves us and those that He loves He chastens (Heb 12:6). Or in other words, He will always test us, and those tests will strengthen or temper our faith, knowledge, wisdom, talents, and gifts that our Father in Heaven has given us.  Tempering metals experience similar things. When metal is tempered it is put into a fire, melted, shaped. Then when the desired shape is made, the blade is folded, heated, and cooled over and over again. It is then sharpened and polis
