Lesson Notes

Be Your Best Self. That is the instruction from President Monson at the last General Conference. He said "Although our journey through mortality will at times place us in harm's way, may I offer you...three suggestions which, when observed and followed, will lead us to safety. They are:

1. Study diligently

2. Pray fervently

3. Live righteously.

These suggestions are not new; they have been taughht and repeated again and again. If we incorporate them into our lives, however, we will have the strength to withstand the adversary. Should we ignore them, we will be opening the door for Satan to have influence and power over us."

Our teacher challenged us to consider how doing these things will make us:

Better daughters of our Heavenly Father

Better wives

Better mothers and

Better Sisters in Relief Society.

President Monson concluded with "Let us never despair, for the work in which we are engaged is the work of the Lord. It has been said, 'The Lord shapes the back to bear the burden placed upon it.'"
