Alma 7:9-11
9 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: Cry unto this people, saying—aRepent ye, and prepare the way of the Lord, and walk in his paths, which are straight; for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the Son of God bcometh upon the face of the earth.
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and aafflictions and btemptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will ctake upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

We talked about President Uchtdorf's talk "The Infinite Power of Hope", General Conference October 2008
What is hope? President Uchtdorf stated, "Hope is a gift of the Spirit."
Faith gives us hope.
President Uchtdorf also stated in his talk, "Hope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity. These three stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time. The scriptures are clear and certain about the importance of hope. The Apostle Paul taught that the scriptures were written to the end that we 'might have hope.'1

Sacrament Service
How do we forget selfish ambition?
Within every soul is a rose. Many times we only see the thorns on us and fail to water our soul that the rose may bloom.
People that share a sense of direction travel more quickly like a flock of geese flying in formation. Geese also honk to encourage each other. When one goose falls ill two geese follow it to the ground and stay with it until it dies or can fly. After that they fly together to catch up to the flock.
If we change the words to one of our hymns slightly we get these words:
Have I done any good in the WARD today. Have I helped anyone in need? (Hymn 223)
From the Bulletin:
"As we come to the close of this year I feel that we all need to look at the decisions that we are making for our New Years resolutions.
The decisions we make and the way we behave are what ultimately shape our character. Charles A. Hall aptly describes that process in these lines: 'We sow our thoughts, and we reap our actions; we sow our actions, and we reap our habits; we sow our habits, and we reap our destiny'" (Ensign November 2001 "Our Actions Determine Our Character" Elder Wayne S. Peterson).
Let's all strive to make and keep New Years resolutions that will bring us closer to our Heavenly Father."
The most important meeting of the week is this Sacrament Service. Please keep the chapel reverent before, during, and after meetings so we may all enjoy the full influence of the Holy Ghost. Thank you so very much.
