Howdy Hon,
We are
just coming off of an amazing 3 days of zone conferences. I love the gospel and all that it teaches us
about the Savior and how we can serve Him and others, especially as missionaries.
Here are the
SSS for February 9, 2025:
1.
We
had guests in our little branch today.
The visiting Relief Society leadership taught us using a general
conference talk from Elder Gerrit Gong, “Holiness to the Lord in Everyday
Life”. He spoke about:
a.
Living
7 C’s: communion with God; community and
compassion with each other; commitment and covenant with God, family, friends;
and friends—centered in Jesus Christ.
b.
How
faith in Christ can bring more happiness (he did not say with no trials),
purpose, clarity, inspiration, and fulfillment than not having a spiritual
commitment/connection, even “amidst life’s twists and turns”.
c.
Holiness
to the Lord in everyday life draws us closer to the Lord, each other, and prepares
us for the time we get to go back to live with God our Father, Jesus Christ, and
our loved ones.
If
you would like to read this wonderfully soothing and loving talk, you can find it
here. (I did this from my log in
so if you see any highlights just ignore them and make your own).
2. One
speaker today (who spoke in Twi and English) testified that the first place we
need to share the gospel of Jesus Christ is in our homes. We should be sharing the gospel, and even bearing
our testimonies to our husband, wife, and children. When was the last time your family saw you
praying, outside of grace for a meal? On
your knees? When was the last time you
bore your testimony to your family, in your own home. That
is the first place our family should learn about Jesus Christ and His gospel. Church is a needed and amazing place, but it
should be to support what the family/individual is already learning at home. When we come to church, those valuable lessons
from home are simply being supported.
3. Okay, I’m cheating on this one. This is the third verse and it says it perfectly.
If you’d like to listen and sing along the sheet music and
recording is here.
I hope you have a blessed
week. Remember the Lord loves you very
much, and so do I.
Love,
