Brain dump

Get off your knees and on your feet and serve others if you want divine assistance.

Not assigned a topic,  which is her first time ever in her history of being a member. Her father suggested this was probably a mistake and do not embarass him.

The topic was that we need to do the little things until they become habitual. They will pay off.

Story about seeking diligently  and looking for things for her mother.

We are taught that if we seek.God diligently. He SHALL be found.

This is the true church of God,this is a founfation which the truth of all other principles will be added unto.

How do we know that Jesus is the Christ.

Tsunami, husband warned wife, but nothing could be explained, he said to get to higher ground, She obeyed, and though none of their neighbors were ever found.

A woman never responded to reason, but one time his wife hugged her and asked the woman when the missionaried could meet with her, and the rest is history.

It is love not reason that touches people. We can reason until we are Blue in the face, but knowing  THINGS will profit us nothing anyway.

Sunday school

Name a hero, what is one. Someone who sacrifices for others, and likely they had other dreams, initially cause it is the right thing to do.

Song praise to the man. And I tried to interest Joseph by saying Joseph was a hero and so, was he, thinking this would pique his interest. He said no, he can't save anyone, so he is not a hero

Even those who go away will be able to come back. Humility, broken heart. It is like preparing soil for planting. If we could be proactive in our humility.

Our priorities are selfish a thing said by Dalin Oaks.

We do not display crosses, because it is the people and the unselfish service and sacrifice.

Promised that as we anonmously serve others we will feel blessed and be blessed.

Little inklings come from our memories of baptism. The more it is remembered it is the feeling that is remembered even after the actual memory is gone.

Story of husband being baptized and it was in Dearborn, MI. The pipes broke and only knee deep but rusty red water.

Wrong baptism because it lacked authority.

Baptism by immersion is similtude of birth, death, and ressurection.

Birth is like it because it is a new life, and we are clean again.

Ressurection as we end one life and begin another.

It is important to teach the symbolism of immersion of pur children.

I do not remember how it was taught,   but I remember the Judds the elderly couple told me that I would be perfect for a moment and then we renew that and are perfect for a bit after we take the sacrament.

It is part of the atonement that little children be provided for.

Little children are not in need of baptism because baptism is for our own sins not for Adam's transgressions.

We take the sacrament weekly to remember our covenants.

Never give up! There are many stories of people who were baptised later in life as a result of never ceasing prayer.
