Improving our ministry

Here are some notes from church. Any inaccuracies is the fault of the note taker.

  • Remember Satan has no control over us unless we let him.
  • When family and communities pray and watch over each other with God in our lives, Satan stays away.
  • Lock your doors and pray for protection.
  • Doing family history work leaves you with a good spirit.
  • Get better at scripture study.
  • Strengthening individuals and families. That includes helping others around us.
  • Family history can help us have the spirit.
  • Family history gives those beyond to veil a chance to enjoy eternal blessings.
  • Labor side by side with the Lord of the vineyard.
  • We can answer other’s prayers and offer comfort.
  • We are instruments in other people’s prayers.
  • It can do little acts. They don’t have to be big.
  • One lady felt down and depressed. Got a call from another lady asking to shop for her since she was sick and needed to be home for her kids. In the store, the first lady found out she was happy.
  • We can do prayers for those in our ward.
  • Be open to the promptings on how we can help other people.
  • A new, single mother (daughter of the ward member) was struggling and a friend called and said let me take your kids for the summer to lighten her daughter’s situation. The husband wasn’t any help.
  • We can pray for others. Took their names to the temple. One ward member prays for some of her customers.
  • Have to take it slowly to make a new friend and make a new member of the ward feel welcome.
  • In ministering, you have your assignments but are open and free to minister to others outside of who you are assigned. In the grocery store, someone may help with little kids. Help out wherever you can.
  • It doesn’t take grandiose acts. They don’t need to have cookies.
