2011 Theme: The Errand of Angels

The errand of angels is given to women; and this is a gift that as sisters we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human, To cheer and to bless in humanity's name.

Lesson Notes

Our Lesson today was from the Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith and was titled, "How Glorious Are Faithful, Just, and True Friends. The Prophet Joseph Smith was known for his genuine love and faithfulness as a friend. He signed many of his letters with expressions of love and once signed, "I am, as ever, your humble servant and never deviating friend, Joseph Smith." (D&C 128:25)
Susan Zaugg taught our lesson today and listed many characteristics of a true friend such as:
faithful, long-suffering, noble, true, kind, generous, tenderhearted, compassionate, able to keep a confidence, even-handed, exemplary, virtuous, never deviating, and sympathetic.
To quote from Joseph Smith, "That friendship which intelligent beings would accept as sincere must arise from love..." "Friendship is one of the grand fundamental principles of 'Mormonism'...It united the human family with its happy influence."
True friends ease one another's sorrows and remain faithful even in times of adversity.
Friendship dispells hatred and misunderstanding.
Saints of God are true friends to one another.
Many of Joseph Smiths so-called friends turned away from him when times were hard or troubled. One can understand why a true friend was so cherished by him.

    Sis Hansen, thank you for posting the notes to the lesson. I am absolutely loving teaching the Sunbeams and being in Primary (I feel like the luckiest person in the ward), but I still miss Relief Society. I appreciate being able to read the notes from the lesson. Thank you, Lisa Schader
