Friends and Family Challenge

Today, Bishop Monroe gave the 5th Sunday lesson for the combined Relief Society/Priesthood. It was on the intent/purpose behind the "D4 Friends and Family Challenge" that was given several weeks ago.
Four concepts/principles were emphasized.
1. The purpose of missionary work is to bring ALL unto the Savior.
2. He asked everyone to read/immerse 3 Nephi as a help in this missionary experience.
3. The best way to talk about the Gospel is in everyday conversations with the people in our environment. So, we should think of ways to speak of Christ and the Gospel as simply and often as conversations allow.
4. We need to have people in our home - to feel the Spirit.
As members of this Relief Society, we support the truths set forth in this lesson. We know we have many sisters that serve in other auxiliaries while Relief Society meetings are being held. We wanted everyone to appreciate what is being said by our leadership. And, we want to hear from you as we all take this challenge to be missionaries!
