Sacrament Service
Testimonies
A few of the youth that attended camps this week reported on them.
John 4
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Either Jesus was who He said He was or He is a liar. There is no middle ground.

2 Kings 25:1-10;Ecclesiastes 3:1-8;Ezra 4:23-24
In the OT, some were overjoyed at the temple being built. Some old timers were grumpy that it wasn't as nice as Solomon's. They had seen it.
Ezra 4:23-24 Temple work will be opposed.
President Russell M. Nelson
"I pray daily that you will be protected from the fierce attacks of the adversary and have the
strength to push forward through whatever challenges you face."
"The relentless, wicked attacks of the adversary" and "his efforts to erode our personal spiritual
foundation."
President Nelson explained that temple covenants provide the power needed to withstand that opposition:
"Ordinances and covenants give us access to godly power. The covenant path is the only path that leads to exaltation and eternal life." - "The Power of Spiritual Momentum", April 2022 General Conference
Elder David A. Bednar
Elder Bednar specifically connected temple and family-history work with protection from Satan:
"I promise you will be protected against the intensifying influence of the adversary. As you
participate in and love this holy work, you will be safeguarded in your youth and throughout your lives." - "The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn," October 2011
