Come follow me the gospel study program

These are the combined notes of three talks at church today. Any inaccuracies are the fault of the note taker (and her typing).

– The goal of the program is to improve ourselves in four areas: intellectual, social, physical and spiritual.
– You need to strengthen your faith and help you and your family progress in the heavenly path.
Primary:
– Parents should seek personal revelations as they teach their families.
– No matter how young you are and how insignificant you feel, God will answer your prayers.
– We are responsible for our own self-education. It is our responsibility.
– You can choose the things that interest you the most and what do you see of the things you should do.
– We have our free agency. Choosing to not do the programs you choose to not progress and to stay stagnate.
– This gives us a chance to become what the Lord wants us to be.
– Seek personal revelation in all that you do. If you include the lord in your decisions you will do what is best for yourself.
– Study in advance the lessons you teach your children.
– You have a blank slate. You can determine how to fill it.
– Social: serve others and prayerfully seek for those who need me. There is a friendship bench, where if a kid feels left out they can sit ton the bench and other kids can invite them to play.
– account out scenes that teach the gospel.
– Physical: some may go vegan.
– More sleep, exercise
– Intellectual: take a class, some may learn a language, read a book a week.
Youth:
– Luke 2:52: Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and with men.
– Goal: To be more like the savior and to be closer to Christ and Heavenly father.
– The First Presidency says focus to help youth to increase their faith. Discover their internal identity, develop their character, strengthen their ability to achieve their goals.
– Need to focus on what you need and what you want. You determine what ways you will grow.
– The first step of the plan: Discover and reflect on what we want to work on in our individual lives. Seek the spirit that can tell us areas we need to work on and learn.
– Second step plan: write down our goals and how to achieve our goals. Maybe include smaller steps for a bigger goal.
– Third step plan: we have faith in God and he will help us achieve our goals.
– Reflect: on what we have achieved. How have our lives changed? If we failed, what can we do differently to succeed
– This program is not meant to be done alone. Parents can support their youth, cheer them on.
– Leaders of youth to support and to cheer them on. The youth needs to lead. The youth need to plan their activities.
– Youth take advantage of the opportunity to learn and to grow. This is your program. You will need to put in the time and dedication.
Adult:
– Like Elder Urdorf’s talk, this your great adventure to Come Follow Me.
– This book is God-given.
– The first 15 pages are an introduction.
– In the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins faces the opportunity for an adventure. He leaves comfort behind and seeks adventure.
– Discipleship is not about doing things perfectly but doing things intentionally. You need to do things with a purpose.
– The purpose of come follow me is to develop a deeper conversion to Jesus Christ.
