Sandy Hills Elders Quorum Goals Reminder:

1. Pray: 3 times daily individually and with your family

President Monson said this: “To those within the sound of my voice who are struggling with challenges and difficulties large and small, prayer is the provider of spiritual strength; it is the passport to peace. Prayer is the means by which we approach our Father in Heaven, who loves us. Speak to Him in prayer and then listen for the answer. Miracles are wrought through prayer.” (“Be Your Best Self”, President Monson, April 2009.)

2. READ: Read The Book of Mormon daily

President Monson promised this to us!! “ I promise you, whether you hold the Aaronic or the Melchizedek Priesthood, that if you will study the scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptation and to receive direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased.” (“Be Your Best Self”, President Monson, April 2009.)

3. MEDITATE: Meditate on those things that you read in The Book of Mormon and prayed about. Put something from your reading into practice daily.

4. ATTEND: Attend your Sacrament Meeting, Sunday School, Elders Quorum, and other Ward activities

5. MINISTER: Minister in your calling as a husband, father, home teacher, or other callings you might have

You’ll be blessed!
