Primary 27 - Directions


Who can save our lambs?

Our dear class,

Jayne B. Malan asked the question once as a little girl and shared the story in October 1989 in Conference. In studying the Doctorine and Covenants, section 77, Joseph Smith asked a lot of questions but it boiled down to one question how can we help the world learn the gospel. 

A lot of us have questions about parts of the gospel; such as why are we here, where did we come from, where are we going, why we are families important, etcetera. You may have questions too about the gospel. Whither all the questions you might have, others not of our faith struggle even more. 

Children, it is our responsibility to help others find those answers so that we can keep falsehoods from filling in blanks that are a struggle. If you say, "but I don't have the answers" that's great! You have incredible resources; prophets, apostles, teachers, scriptures, scriptures but above all, a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior. The three greatest people, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost all want to help us find answers to hard questions. 

When you have questions, do as Joseph did; pray. Heaven will lead you to the help that you are looking for in every question. Joseph started his journey with questions and never stopped asking. 

You are worth it children, keep your faith and share the gospel. You can help others every day find answers. We as a light on a hill. We are here to help our brothers and sisters find their way home to our Heavenly Father.

We love you and testify that we are blessed when we share the gospel. We know Heavenly Father loves you and is there for you. All we have to do is pray, study and listen and we will start to find answers. 

Challenges 
1) Read D&C 81-83
2) Write down a time your prayer was answered. How did you get the answer?

Primary 133 - Preservation of your testimony and chastity

Image
source   Children, 1 Corinthians 6:13 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Paul spoke of fornication but this could also apply to things that pollute the soul. You would not eat a rotten apple. The foolish would say "But it is an apple". The same is said for sexual and spiritual purity. You cannot say you can get spiritual nourishment from corruptible things. Books, movies, and the like are no good if there is corruption in their content.  He further stated that our bodies are owned by another; a rental. We are owned by Christ if we care about our covenant of obedience. The especially for youth handbook encourages obedience, charity, chastity, repentance, and faith. When you become a teen you will be shown more on the topic but for now, strive for stern obedience. For moms and dads, he said that Mom owns Dad's chastity and vice

Primary 52 - Adam and Eve

Image
image God created our first parents. He created male and female; man and woman. When He created them they were equals. You see Heavenly Father did not create Eve from the head of Adam to be over him or by his foot to be below him. He didn't make Eve from the sternum or back to be behind or front of him. He, God, made Eve, Adam's wife, from his side, under his strong arm, near his heart. This is how we view marriage. The very symbol of marriage shows how much the need to find and be equal in marriage is. As saints, we strive to maintain the companionship that will make you a better person and at the same time will strive to encourage your spouse to be a better person.  Many years from now you will be dating or preparing for marriage. Brothers and sisters, look for a companion that will strengthen you and make you smile. Being in love is not just a feeling, it's a commitment. This commitment will require trust, respect, compassion, charity, repentence, and forgive

Primary 128 - Pricked or Cut

Image
I mage Children,  The Holy Ghost can touch us in one of two ways. Either we are pricked to do good or cut by the good word. The Greeks have a word for this. Hodos means "In the way". Is the Savior in the way of our success or are we doing things "In the Savior's way seeking His success?" The role of a disciple.  When the church has grown we have been given responsibilities callings and keys according to our ability and spiritual potential.  We should be eagerly engaged in the work we are called to do to lighten the load of those who are called to do more such as Bishops or Stake Presidents. Visiting the widowed and orphaned can be done by them but they ask many to be ministers to the many to bear the load. Don't just see the vision but catch it. When you catch the vision, it has changed you to do more and be actively engaged in the Lord's work.  Stephen and Phillip who were members of the seventy showed it in their actions.  Alma, Paul, Josep
