From the Bulletin
“As you choose to live on the Lord’s side, you are never alone.” (Elder Russell M Nelson, Ensign January 2015)
“The greatest lesson we can learn in mortality,” President Thomas S. Monson has taught, “is that when God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.”
…
“God’s commandments are not given to frustrate us or to become obstacles to our happiness. Just the opposite is true. He who created us and who loves us perfectly knows just how we need to live our lives in order to obtain the greatest happiness possible. He has provided us with guidelines which, if we follow them, will see us safely through this often treacherous mortal journey.” (President Thomas S Monson, “The Blessings of Obedience”, Ensign October 2016)
Sacrament Service
Apple cider is good, but it only comes after hard work.
Life and also eternity takes hard work to have the best things.
Work is a blessing in spite of its undesirable exterior.
John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Luke 21:19
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Sunday School
No matter where the Savior was he taught and was prepared to teach.
We often speak of the Savior in the past tense, but he still is the same today.
The way that we teach like the Savior is to follow his example.
A teacher is a discussion leader. A teacher is a guide.
Matthew 10:5-8
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
What is given to us we must freely give to others.

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W Hunter - Walking the Savior's Path of Charity
A touch stone is a high-level test of the purity of gold.
We should love the Lord and others as we love ourselves. We should additionally be nice to ourselves and treat ourselves correctly, not selfishly, but correctly, so we know how to treat others.
In the parable of the good Samaritan the priest is a general priesthood holder. The levite is the equivalent of a bishop. The Samaritans were lower class citizens and often enemies to Israelites.
