I forgot to take pics during the meeting but I snapped this after some of the girls had already left! Learning and Living the Gospel #7- Read D&C 89. Discuss how Heavenly Father blesses us when we faithfully live the Word of Wisdom. Help plan and conduct an activity to teach the Word of Wisdom to others. This lesson covers the first part of the activity. As the girls were arriving, I was playing some fun music and we had a little dance party. We danced until everyone arrived. I had one of the girls lead the dancing and it was pretty fun! Lots and lots of giggles. At first some were too timid to dance but by the end everyone was dancing! We then gathered and read D&C 89:1-9. While the girls took turns reading, they were supposed to draw pictures of what they were hearing. We talked about the verses, I gave definitions and we discussed how the world glamorizes drinking and smoking and how we should avoid it. We talked about how and why these things are harmful to our bodies. They were very interested in hearing about how the body gets addicted to drugs and how difficult it is to overcome addiction. I emphasized the importance of never starting because it is so hard to stop. Make sure that you are sensitive to any in the group who may have parents or other loved ones who may smoke or drink alcohol. I had them turn their paper over and answer the following questions: What have you had to eat in the last 24 hours? How much sleep did you get last night? How much TV did you watch yesterday? Did you exercise? They had fun answering and sharing their answers. Next we read D&C 89:10-17. We talked about healthy eating and the importance of putting good food into our bodies. I asked them why we were dancing at the beginning of class. Then we talked about how exercise can be really fun...like dancing. We read the promise in verses 18-21. Don't leave this out! It's so important that they know of these great promises that come when we are good to our bodies. We made smoothies!! They LOVED this! **While they were drinking their smoothies we planned a nutritious meal in anticipation of completing Serving others #4 that we will complete next week. They really wanted to dance some more so after we closed, I put on another song and let them do one more dance. They had so much fun and so did I! Here is the smoothie recipe that I used. I think I tripled it: 1 cup frozen strawberries 1 banana 1/4 cup plain yogurt 1/2 cup orange juice Blend and serve.

Throughout Jesus’ life and ministry, He called listeners’ attention to various sins as he taught about His Father’s will, and guided believers in what it truly means to love God, and to walk with Him. But during His ministry, did Jesus call out some sins more than others? As God’s children, we are to pay attention, not just to Jesus’ words, but what they reveal about His heart for us. Wherever He calls out sin, he points the way to something far greater than what the sin promises us. This is why it is so crucial to listen closely and respond to what Jesus emphasized in His teachings. Here are 10 sins Jesus spoke about most fervently in the Gospels: Photo Credit: Pexels/Wendy van Zyl

Most of us have a vivid memory of the first time we went to the temple to receive our endowments. I was a newly called missionary and had traveled to the Los Angeles Temple. I did not know what to expect. Although some aspects of my own endowment were wonderfully edifying to me, much of it was confusing. I left bewildered and a little frightened. I have since discovered that my experience was not unique. I have also discovered why my first experience was not all what I had anticipated. At the time, I did not understand the manner in which the Lord teaches His children in His house. Had I understood, my anxiety and confusion would have disappeared, even though my comprehension level might have remained the same.

Joseph’s story illustrates the life-changing power of a godly perspective. Abandoned by his brothers, falsely accused of adultery, forgotten by those he blessed, wasting away in prison—Joseph easily could have drowned in bitterness, been dominated by despair, and forever wrestled with anger. This is not to say that he didn’t experience those feelings, or didn’t
