WELCOME

The best advice I can give is from a talk by Elder Oaks: ”Last year a church member sent me a suggestion that someone prepare a book containing all General Authority interpretations of all verses in the scriptures. I replied that I thought this was not a good idea…. What we are seeking to accomplish… is not to magnify the standing of the prophets but to elevate the spirituality of our rank and file members. Like Moses, we declare, ‘would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!’ (Numbers 11:29). We encourage everyone to study the scriptures prayerfully and seek personal revelation to know the meaning for themselves.” (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, “Scripture Reading and Revelation”, BYU Studies Academy Meeting, January 29, 1993)

Updated Come Follow Me Young Woman

After using the "Come Follow Me" format for a year now, my wife has given me some helpful feedback on the Study Guide I created last year.
I have added more writing space and set each month up as it's own file.
I have completed Jan-Feb and have added them to the web page here:
https://sites.google.com/site/ldsteacherstoolbox/home/come-follow-me-study-guide?pli=1

I will be doing the Young Men's and try to get the Sunday School done soon.

As always, any feedback is always welcome.

Patriarchal Blessings: Idea on study

I read a few different ideas on how to study your patriarchal Blessing. Evrything form converting it into chapter and verse to color coding and marking.
I have decided to do my own thing and share it here.

I printed out a copy of my blessing with slightly wider margins and at a space and a half between lines.
 I came up with 6 main areas of importance:
  • Pre\Post World
  • Linage
  • Warnings
  • Commandments
  • GIfts of Spirit
  • Opportunities
     Each marked with their own color. I also looked up terms I was unsure of or ones that were repeated to see what the defintion was as well as how the Lord has used it in scripture.








This will be an on going task as i read and study it over and over.

2013 Study Guide "Come Follow Me" Youth

 



 I created a new study guide Based on the  New

 "Come Follow Me" lessons.


It is printed the size of half a regular page (so it is easier to fit into my scripture case)

Update 3-27-13 I have made some small changes to the small version. Added Month headers and a cover page


Update 4-15-2013 Make sure if you printed out the study guide you update notes within it to reflect the latest from the leaders. April Conference is already being added to the lessons online!

Has each of the lessons from the Young Men's and Young Women's  section with the questions, talks and videos listed.


I then added a space where I can make notes on what I thought and felt as I read or watched each item.

 I would hope it will come in handy as I talk to others on the lesson topics as well as just giving me a new insight into what the Youth  are being taught.




















I have also created a large format (regular paper size) if people like that format.

My wife asked me to bind hers with an extra page in between each of the printed so she would have more room to write. I cut the page to 3/4 width and placed as requested. It has worked out nice for her. She takes it to her class each week and teaches from it.
