RS/MP Lesson 12: “An Enthusiastic Desire to Share the Gospel” (George Albert Smith Manual)
I have been asked by church leaders more than a few times something to the effect of, “What do you do to share the gospel?” My answer is always the same… nothing. Well, I don’t really mean nothing, what I really mean is everything. On the other hand, maybe I mean that I do everything and...
RS/MP Lesson 11: “Revelation from God to His Children” (George Albert Smith Manual)
I’ll comment on four quotes that struck me in the lesson. First: If we have erred in our conduct the voice will whisper to us ‘turn back, you have made a mistake; you have disregarded the advice of your Heavenly Father.’ (p. 114) What I like about this comment is that it presumes that...
Relief Society Lesson 13: Doing Our Part to Share the Gospel
President George Albert Smith noted that as the Church becomes more well known, “its members are esteemed for their virtues,” and critics “are quickly divested of their unjustified prejudices, by coming in direct contact with the Latter-day Saints in their daily lives. … They then judge us...

Sharing Time 2012- June Week 2
Thoughts: I try really hard to help children see how what they do has the potential to effect other people for good. Identify Doctrine: I wanted to take the tithing slip and break it up and explain what each donation means and who it can bless that person. Show the children a toting slip and...
Relief Society Lesson 12: An Enthusiastic Desire to Share the Gospel
In this lesson, we learn that George Albert Smith was “a natural missionary. From his youth he has had an ardent desire to share the teachings of the gospel with his fellow men, to make known to ‘the sons and daughters of God,’ all of whom he considers to be his brothers and sisters, the...
RS/MP Lesson 9: “Open Your Soul to the Lord in Prayer” (George Albert Smith Manual)
Pres. Smith says, after God saved him from his harrowing, near-death experience, “my heart was filled with gratitude and humility that the Lord had . . . spared my life” (p. 95). What strikes me most about this lesson is the link between prayer, gratitude, and humility. On p. 99, we...
Sharing Time 2012 – May Week 3: The Holy Ghost can help Me
Thoughts: I wanted to start by helping the children know that we are given the Holy Ghost as a gift. But that often it take us a long time to learn how the Holy Ghost talks to us. And that it is ok if we don’t know when we feel it, but that it takes...
Relief Society Lesson #10: The Scriptures, the Most Valuable Library in the World
I’ve cut much of what GAS has written and would recommend having a lesson primarily on the scriptures and how to study them while supplementing with GAS’s words. My notes are in regular font, his are in italics. From what GAS says in the manual, it’s clear that this is a prophet with a...
“The Purpose of Covenants and Ordinances” YW Lesson 17, Manual 1
From my perspective, it seemed like the purpose of this lesson was to teach YW about covenants and ordinances through what they have already experienced in baptism/confirmation/sacrament, and all this as a preparation for the temple. I think that’s a great idea and a great way to prepare them for...

Book of Mormon Lesson #18: “God Himself Shall Redeem His People,” Mosiah 12-17
We are saddled with the task of sorting out the whole of Abinadi’s speech in a single lesson. That’s devastatingly difficult, particularly because Abinadi’s speech marks the—and I mean the—turning point in the history of the Nephites, and in about a dozen ways. We’ve got to look very...
