Faith in God and Sharingtime

Thank you all for helping us distribute the Family Home Evening kit.  I would love to hear some of your success stories!

There is another opportunity coming up when you can incorporate Faith in God with the topic of sharingtime.

Week 4 in June is: The Holy Ghost comforts and guides me.

Learning and Living the Gospel Goal 3: Mark  John 14:16–17, 2 Nephi 32:5, and Moroni 10:5. Discuss ways the Holy Ghost helps you.

There are 5 times throughout the year when sharing time and Faith in God overlap.  I would love it if you select 3 times to implement. The next two will come up in August and October.  Look over Junes sharing time and decide if you want to choose this opportunity.

Thanks for all you do!

Michele

Answers from an Apostle-Elder Quentin L Cook

Why should we follow Christ?
Jesus Christ is our light and life.  When we follow Jesus, we grow stronger and become more like him.  Following His light and example will bring us joy, happiness and peace, even if things around us are hard.  We should remember Him and follow Him like sunflowers follow the sun across the sky.

Meet Elder Quentin L Cook-
 When he was 15 years old, he talked with his older brother about building a testimony of his own. He decided to go on a mission when he was old enough.  Later he served in the British Mission.

He set a good example for a man he worked with by not drinking alcohol at a party.  That man could tell that Elder Cool was a Latter- day Saint because of his good choices.

He rescued a friend's boots during a fire drill when he was in first grade.  Quentin said. "I didn't want his feet to be cold in the snow."

He and his wife, Mary Gaddie, were married in the Logan Utah Temple.  They have 3 children.

Quentin was a good athlete in high school.  He played basketball, football, baseball and ran with the track team.
