'Teaching in the Savior's Way'
Jan E. Newman
Second Counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency
The scriptures indicate that the Savior's ministry in ancient America was so impactful and widespread that "the people were all converted unto the Lord, upon all the face of the land, both Nephites and Lamanites, and there were no contentions and disputations among them, and every man did deal justly one with another."
How can our teaching have a similar effect on those we love?
How can we teach more like the Savior and help others become more deeply converted?
The Articles of Faith
#4
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Affirmation for this week's Inklings Institute study:
Jesus Christ is the caregiver of my soul. As I come unto Him I can know freedom from sin, relief from pains and strength to overcome any weakness.
I worked on my blog this morning while James worked on the fence.
I finished posting thru Saturday but then I realized I forgot the most important post. James heard some ravens and saw them circling around a tree. He saw something solid in the tree which he thought to be a nest. He was curious to see if there were little birds in the nest so of course he climbed the tree. I went back to Saturday's post and put this story in, in more detail.
It was starting to rain when we left Vernon somewhere around 4 p.m.
James went the Payson way for me. I do appreciate him doing this just for me. We stopped at the Culver's in Payson for dinner. I got a burger, James got a fish sandwich. When we got to the valley we went directly to the Casa Grande Airport where James is pouring concrete for a guy named Cannon Hills from Washington state. I think he got James's name from Greg H. James looked at the spot they were to pour concrete in the morning and decided it was ready.
We then went to Darrel and Trina's which took about 45 minutes. It was 8:30 when we got there so we were a little disruptive right before Lola's bedtime. Rowan, Ruby, and Lola all came out to help us carry in our suitcases to Rowan's room. Addy was gone to work.
Lola showed me a video of her dance and Ruby's dance at their tumbling-dance recital. Trina sold ShopWhirlyGirl leotards to all of the girls in the concert. There were over 200 girls. She said when they came out in the leotards it made her feel so good!
Darrel and Trina told us a story about a guy in their neighborhood who had some teenagers over and offered liquor to them. He also had a gun and pointed it at one of the youth. Anyway he got arrested, as he should have. James said the youth were to blame for taking the liquor, which was true, but the burden of responsibility is with this guy who, as an adult, was responsible.
Thanks again Rowan for letting us sleep in your room.
