Primary 150 - End of the year

Class,

What a wild year huh? We have seen how the New Testament is full of miracles, such as the birth of Christ and the resurrection of Christ. We have seen how Christ pulls us from the chaos that threatens to follow us as water did to Peter when he followed his Savior walking on the sea. We have learned to build upon rocks and that our foundation is vital. We  learned that when we lack wisdom God with us to teach us. We learned that God has been with us the whole time and that He has lead us away from cheep imitations and encouraged us to keep an armor about us, that war, pestilence famine and death to our bodies, minds and spirits threaten us but we know who will succeed and we are on His side. We learned this year what faith is, a deep abiding trust and with that trust we know that the Redeemer will pull us from our chaotic life and rescue us from moment that threaten to drowned and overwhelm us. 

I am so glad I was your teacher. In teaching you I got to know how much the Savior loves both me and you. He has a plan for each of you. You were placed in the right place in the right moment to learn and to grow. He inspired your parents to give you names that would teach you about who you are and what you can become. I have watched as you went from giddy children to future leaders and teachers in my class and was honored and privileged to see how a year made you brighter and stronger. Your testimonies matured a little more and I will miss that and thank you and my Heavenly Father for that.

This next year we will be studying the Book of Mormon. Take time to really dive in this book. It is truly a marvelous work and a wonder. It is no coincidence that Joseph moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania. It is no coincidence that Joseph was troubled and prayed for an answer. It is no coincidence that Joseph was shown plats or saw God the Savior and angels. It's no coincidence that a unlearned young man translated a book in 90 days. A book that Moroni though that the Gentiles would mock because of his weakness in writing (Ether 12:23-27). We will learn the infalliblity of man will not hinder the works of God. It never has and never will. We are building on a rock witch is Christ.Let the chaos come but know this, we wear His armor and bear his banner and shield. Our lives may be full of crazy days and we might sin but we know in whom we can rely, the God who declared His Son to a boy in a grove 

Make it a great week. Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Remember, your teachers love you, beat your testimony every where and every time you get. Strengthen and inspire others, lift and show charity, joy is nurtured and not quick like happiness, work is a good thing. It will strengthen you and when we work for our faith, work for our earnings, work in our studies we will see a strength that we otherwise would not. God loves you and bless you daily I know and have a testimony of it, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

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
