Coming to Ourselves: The Sacrament, the Temple, and Sacrifice in Service

Dear Sisters,

In this talk by Elder Robert D. Hales he teaches us about how to become truly converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The strength of our conversion is centered in how we make and keep covenants with our Heavenly Father.  He states "We become converted and spiritually self-reliant as we prayerfully live our covenants-through worthily partaking of the sacrament, being worthy of a temple recommend, and sacrificing to serve others,"  Please spend some time pondering the covenants you have made with your Heavenly Father.  What are some of the promises you have made to Him?  What are the promises He has made to you? " Where do you stand on living your covenants?"  I would also like to discuss how you teach your children about covenants in your homes, so we can learn from each other, and help each other in this important responsibility.  I look forward to meeting with you this Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving!  I am thankful for each of you.

Love, Sister Stoddard
