Lesson for April 22, 2018

Today our lesson was given by Kari Alsop. She started with asking “What questions do you have about your divine assignments Ansswers. For motherhood, saviors on Mount Zion, womanhood, patrichal blessings, callings, actions and answers to prayers. we are studying Elder John C. Pingree’s October 2017 Conference talk, “I Have a Work for Thee.” Kari asked us to take a few minutes and write questions we have about the work we need to do. President Monson said the Lord has more for your to do than you have for yourself. we would have to be very faithful to accomplish what we need to do. WE sometimes spend too much time engaging in all the things going on around us. Sometimes we need the time to wander around in our heads to get revelation. D&C 11:8 if you desire you shall be the source of much good in this generation. WE can remember that God can help us do the impossible. There are actions we have to take. The Lord appreciates us when we have a desire to do good. When we desire to take care of each other, God has a lot we can do. it is important for us to be part of the solution and we need to know what to do, rather like what happened with Nephi an Laman and Lemuel. Our divine mission is to live and spread the gospel and help others to desire the gospel. Elder Pinterest wants us to focus on others. Kari brought up Abish from the Book of Mormon who worked for the queen of the Lamanites. She was able to be tere when Alma and the king went unconscious and gathered people to see the miracle. The people were touched and converted. She was proof the culture and acted as a second witness. People’s lives were forever changed because of her actions. She had prepared for that moment. Kari had us listen to a recording of the hymn “As Sisters in Zion” about caring for others who are weary and weak through earnest endeavor. We should use what we are blessed with to fulfill needs. Every divine assignment helps to build us and our characters. As women in our homes we can lay the foundation of great works through small things. When you ask your Heavenly FatTHER he will give you ways to accept and prepare for what we will need to do to help others.
