Alma 5 - The Good Shepherd

We have been studying the testimony of Alma the Younger in Alma 5.  Today we had a lesson about listening to the voice of the Good Shepherd.  We discussed ways to hear the voice of Christ.  Here is a video clip quoting the word of the Savior.  Please watch this video and consider the significance of "hearing" the voice of the Good Shepherd and following Him. 



The message of this scripture goes with the 2014 Mutual Theme of Come Unto Christ.  If you would like to get a sneak preview of this theme go to the following link and find out what other LDS youth are doing to commit their lives to following the Savior.

Happy New Year!

I am so glad to be back to my class. Everyone was on time today and that was such a pleasant surprise for me!  We are excited about our new teams and starting the book of Alma.  Our first blog challenge is to watch the mormon message below.  Ten points to those who tell me one thing that they are looking forward to doing better this year than they did last year! Did you know that when you tell someone else what your goal is that you are more likely to achieve that goal.
