This weekend was our Stake Conference and there was much good instruction given but one thing that President Green said touched me and I decided to expand on that today. He pointed out that we are children of Abraham and part of the covenant he made with the Lord. A covenant, rather than a contract as we think of it, is a covenant that God set the terms of and we either choose to accept or not. When we were baptized we chose to accept the terms of the Abrahamic Covenant in which God promised Abraham that through his seed "all the kindred of the earth would be blessed". What is our responsibility in this covenant? It is to take the gospel to all the earth so that, through it, all of our brothers and sisters will be blessed. We are all God's children and we want to share this great message with them. So, as President Green has stressed, Invite! Invite everyone you know to hear to come to church and be able to feel the spirit so that they will be reminded of what they were taught in the pre-existence and when they hear it again it will be very familiar to them and they will welcome it.
