Our lesson for this Sunday is from the George Albert Smith manual - Lesson #3 - Our Testimony of Jesus Christ. Here is the link: Hope that you will get a chance to read it.

Our lesson from this past Sunday was a continuation on our theme for 2012 - "Prepare Every Needful Thing." We hope that each of you will take some personal time to ponder this theme (D&C 88:119) and seek inspiration from our Heavenly Father as to any area's that He would have you personally prepare in. Elder Ardern said the following quote in the recent October 2011 Conference:
" With the demands made of us, we must learn to prioritize our choices to match our goals or risk being exposed to the winds of procrastination and being blown from one time-wasting activity to another. We are well taught about priorities by the Master Teacher when He declared in his Sermon on the Mount, “wherefore, seek not the things of this world but seek ye first to build up the kingdom of God, and to establish his righteousness”. I testify that when help is prayerfully and sincerely sought, our Heavenly Father will help us to give emphasis to that which deserves our time above something else."
As a Relief Society Presidency, we hope to be able to provide opportunities to help support each of you in the different areas that you are seeking to prepare yourself in.
