FHE Lesson From Benetton July 22nd 2010

Family,

Today as class began we started out with a prayer and then started studying about hte importance of missioanry work amongst the members and the wards in which you belong. As we studied so many dy principles stuck out to me in how all of you can be missionaries on your own in every level of your life. Find the good in teh members and people of our neighborhood. Constantly seek out ways in which you can bring someone else closer to their Heavenly Father, it is through reachign others that we are edified. Next, "serch for service" as disciples of Christ we should be living this motto in every aspect of our lfie! As our Redemer and Savior once did upon the earth, always serve everyone. Think about the 12 apostles and how and why Christ washed their feet! Do not ever place yourself above one or another, we are all lowly and meek and need teh serice and help from our friends, family, ward, neighborhood and most importantly our Heavenly Father! Allow others to werve you, let go of your pride and give others the opportunity. Service is teh key to happiness! There is NO better way to bring the spirit back into your lives when you feel it is no longer there then through service.

I want all of you to experience that pure joy and happiness that I receive continually beach and every day through the restored gospel. Be charitable in all your thoughts and actions. Charity is setting yourself apart from teh world to show unto others the pure love of Christ that you hold, cherish and desire to share with everyone around you! NOW is the time to bring to pass the immortality of man and share the fulness of the gospel with the multitude of people who everyday and might plead with the lord for help, guidance and can answer to their prayers Promise me that you will be the answer! (read Alma 13:24 aloud ) it says...For behold angels are declaring it unot many at this time in our land; and this is for the purpose of perparing the hearts of the children of men to receive his word at the time of his coming in his glory... How much more can God plead unto us then sending angels upon us telling us NOW IS THE TIME! Fill yourselves with the word and the work and I promise unto you that the rest will be taken care of Do not worry what will happen, when it will happen, or where. Just prepare youselves now " DO NOT live with the regret of what might have been!" (Jefferey R. Holland In the Miracle of Emission) Show them the way, be the answer that the world needs.

I am so excited in teh decisions you have been making in sharing the gospel with others you now have a little taste of the joy of the gospel and bringing it unto others. Now I know times can be hard and you wonderf how you can find happiness again for the day. here is your answer! find the joy in the gospel, read Alma 26 and rejoice in the message in which it holds. The joy in life is the gospel, and I know as we continue to center our lives together around it we will be blessed. Continue to serve others and your family. Ther service taht you do for the missionaries might not be recognized but I know that they love having you and you bless their lives immensily! When thimes get hard just know that I am here that your family is there, but more importantly our Heavenly Father is here! when you feel down or sad... Read Alma 7:11 and D&C 121:7-9, then kneel in prayer and ask for the comfort you are in need of. our Savior can and will lift you up and answer your prayers. read this poem and you will know how... the Footprints poem... The the lord help you baby in any way yor time you need it. I Love you!!!
