Lesson 14: The Blessings of the Temple

Blessings of the Temple


President Gordon B. Hinckley, First Counselor in the First Presidency, said that the temple is “a symbol of strength, a haven of peace, a sanctuary of service, a school of instruction, a place of revelation, … a house of covenants” (“The Salt Lake Temple,” Ensign, Mar. 1993, p. 4). 


President Harold B. Lee said: “When you enter a holy temple, you are by that course gaining fellowship with the Saints in God’s eternal kingdom, where time is no more. In the temples of your God you are endowed not with a rich legacy of worldly treasure, but with a wealth of eternal riches that are above price” (“Enter a Holy Temple,” Improvement Era, June 1967, p. 144).

"A teacher affects eternity; he or she never knows when their influence stops."

Thanks to all our wonderful teachers, parents, young men and young women for a successful Teacher Appreciation Night.  A special thanks to Jamie Jasperson for organizing this event and all her hard work and time put into this project.  We had a great turnout and many positive comments.

It was very touching to hear our youth tell how their teachers have influences their lives.  Please share your experiences from that evening.

Sunday Lesson 9: A Young Woman as a Peacemaker in Her Home

A Young Woman as a Peacemaker in Her Home “The blessed part of being a peacemaker is that those who are peacemakers and who live the gospel principles receive a testimony borne of the Holy Ghost. They enjoy the peace that surpasseth all understanding, relief from inner tensions, joy and happiness, contentment, growth, and development” (Franklin D. Richards, in Conference Report, Oct. 1974, p. 154; or Ensign, Nov. 1974, p. 107).

Romans 12: 14-21
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man bevil for evil. Provide things honest in the dsight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
