The Wise Man and Foolish Man

 This is one of my favorite songs.


Sing Along

March 9-15 (Jacob 1-4), "Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon"

September 21–27 (3 Nephi 12–16), "Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon"

The Wise Man and Foolish Man” (Children’s Songbook, 281)


Jesus Christ Is the Rock

 “Jesus Christ is the rock upon which we must build our foundation.” (Elder Donald L. Hallstrom, “How Firm A Foundation”, CES Devotional for Young Adults, November 2, 2014)


Built on the Rock

In the Come, Follow Me, 3 Nephi 12-16, for September 21-27, one part talks about the wise man and the foolish man. Here is a poster and article I found that goes perfectly for the lesson.

Built on the Rock, New Era, July 2004


Make Waves, New Era, July 2004

"Even if you feel like a small pebble dropped into a big pond, your choices create eternal ripples. Make a splash by choosing the right." (See 3 Nephi 12:14–16.)

Stay in the Scriptures

 Here is another quote by Elder Holland.

“Stay in the scriptures.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Face to Face with President Eyring and Elder Holland”) The image was created by Jenae Nelson.

Article Faith 8 states "We believe the Bible to be the bword of God as far as it is translated ccorrectly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."


Because of Jesus

“Because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “None Were with Him”, April 2009)


“Be With and Strengthen Them” and Ministering

This particular general conference talk, “Be With and Strengthen Them”, by Elder Holland is one that I rememember quite clearly. It talks about the new ministering that began in April 2018. Presidend Russel M. Nelson introduced the Ministering concept in the previous talk. It also talks about a dear sister that I use to visit teach when their family was in our ward. Elder Holland talks about her experience with cancer and her passing on January 14, 2018. I didn't go to her funeral services because I felt like I was fight a cold or something and I didn't want to spreat it to others. If I had went I would have seen Elder Holland at the services.

Remember we need to help others all the time. It is hard to do but I need to start doing it more often to my ministering sisters and others. May we remember to minister one another as Jesus did years ago when he lived upon this Earth.

Fourth Floor, Last Door

God “rewards those who earnestly seek him,” so we need to keep knocking. Sisters, don’t give up. Seek God with all your heart. 

...Again, no one would listen. The third floor was the same. And so was the fourth—that is, until they knocked on the last door of the fourth floor. When that door opened, a young girl smiled at them and asked them to wait while she spoke with her mother.

The story goes on. The young woman that answered the door was Harriet. Dieter F. Uchtdorf married Harriet years later. You can read more of the story.

(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Fourth Floor, Last Door", October 2016)


Building Deep and Loving Relationships

“We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner … and just by having fun together.” (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Of Things That Matter Most”, October 2010)
