"As you pray for forgiveness, you will find yourself forgiving others. As you thank God for His kindness, you will think of others, but name, who need your kindness." - President Eyring

Sacrament Service

First Speaker

Doctrines, Symbols, and Rituals

Through covenants, we make a bond with our Savior.  That bond is a relationship bond in addition to the contractual bond.

Mosiah 18:8-10

8 And it came to pass that he said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light;

9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—

10 Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

If you are frustrated, it is ok.  Take a break and say a prayer.

Elders Quorum

The lesson was based on a talk by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland titled The Message, the Meaning, and the Multitude. 

The blind man was persistent to get close to Jesus and get help from him. 

Persistence is not vain repetition if we are sincere and deliberate. It also must be righteous. 

A broken heart and a contrite spirit sometimes mean we tried it our way and it didn't work. 

"In matters of faith and conviction, it helps to direct your inquiry toward those who actually have some!" - from the talk

22 And behold, ye shall meet together oft; and ye shall not forbid any man from coming unto you when ye shall meet together, but suffer them that they may come unto you and forbid them not;
