Mark 16
14 ¶ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Sacrament Service
First Speaker
A missionary leaving this week to the Mexico MTC in preparation to serve in Tallahassee, Florida spoke to us.
DnC 4
1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.
3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;
4 For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
5 And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work.
6 Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
7 Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.

Ether 12:4
4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

Teaching in the Savior's Way
“Doctrine does not change - - rather, it changes us, and it changes those we teach.“ - from the manual in the chapter titled “Teach the Doctrine”.
Be prepared to redirect opinion with doctrine when you ask what the group thinks.
We want to encourage people to explore what the spirit is telling them, but we have to reinforce truth with authoritative sources.
Make sure your topic references what it has to do with Christ.
You are not just teaching a topic. You are teaching the doctrine of Jesus Christ.

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B Hinckley, Chapter 13 - Peace and Contentment through Temporal Self-Reliance
“I believe in the gospel of work. There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements.
“A little play and a little loafing are good. But it is work that spells the difference in the life of a man or woman. It is work that provides the food we eat, the clothing we wear, the homes in which we live. We cannot deny the need for work with skilled hands and educated minds if we are to grow and prosper individually and collectively.
“I have discovered that life is not a series of great heroic acts. Life at its best is a matter of consistent goodness and decency, doing without fanfare that which needed to be done when it needed to be done. I have observed that it is not the geniuses that make the difference in this world. I have observed that the work of the world is done largely by men and women of ordinary talent who have worked in an extraordinary manner.” - from the manual
Callings are part of the law of consecration.
The world's view is to have what you want now and put it on credit. The Lord's way is to be free of the bondage of debt.
