Primary 117 - Fishes and Loaves


Children,

The world is not perfect. Imperfect people have help build a church that is built on a perfect gospel and Atonement. Heaven asks for everything we have. At times we look at what little we have and feel hopeless. The world and the children of heaven need so much. How can we help them when they need food, shelter, fire and above all the Spirit. We need constant comfort and reassurance. 

Let's illiterate this with a story. Twice the Savior had a long discussion on the Sabbath and the gospel. The day had gone long and there was a need for food. No one had food. Well, one young man had some fishes and loaves. He was prepared for him in both stories. The Lord asked of this young man for all that he had. The Savior then blessed it and broke it. He then passed it to the multitude via the apostles. They then were commanded to gather the fragments. Those fragments filled twelve baskets. 

Missionaries feel sometimes like the young man or the distributing deciples and wonder how a miracle will be done. It is so overwhelming and yet God makes miracles through our faith. When we give everything Heavenly Father sees it an magnifies the effort.

We want to testify that we know the gospel is true. We know that as we turn our lives over to the Lord’s will, we will be directed and blessed. We pray for you guys and love being able to teach your class.

Challenges 
1) Read John 7-10
2) Ask your family about an experience they have had where they gave everything over to the Lord. What blessing did they receive or witness? How did you feel when listening to the experience?

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
