40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 13
TALK: “We Each Have A Story” by Elder Gerrit W. Gong
NAME OF CHRIST: Jesus Christ
“The promise at Easter and always is that, in and through Jesus Christ, we can become our best story and our families can become happy and forever. In all our generations, Jesus Christ heals the brokenhearted, delivers the captives, sets at liberty them that are bruised.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“Through sacred covenants, Jesus Christ offers His love, power, and grace to change us and heal our relationships. Selfless temple service for dear ones makes our Savior’s Atonement real for them and us. Sanctified, we can return home to God’s presence as families united eternally.”
–Gerrit W. Gong
SCRIPTURE:
“Wherefore, the Lord hath commanded me to make these plates for a wise purpose in him, which purpose I know not.”
-1 Nephi 9:5
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“We each have a story. As we discover our story, we connect, we belong, we become.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
INVITATION TO ACT:
“We each have a story. Come discover yours. Come find your voice, your song, your harmony in Him. This is the very purpose for which God created the heavens and the earth and saw that they were good… Please come find your family, all your generations, and bring them home.”
–Gerrit W. Gong
PROMISED BLESSING:
“Connecting with our ancestors can change our lives in surprising ways. From their trials and accomplishments, we gain faith and strength. From their love and sacrifices, we learn to forgive and move forward. Our children become resilient. We gain protection and power. Ties with ancestors increase family closeness, gratitude, miracles. Such ties can bring help from the other side of the veil.”
-Gerrit W. Gong
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How can I connect with my ancestors and gain strength from them?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
HANDS-ON LEARNERS:Go visit my grandparents, their headstone, or a Family Search center to learn more about my family.
MY THOUGHTS:
I love doing family history work. I enjoy finding names and connecting them to my family tree. I find peace as I go to the temple to perform ordinances for family members who have passed on. I relate to stories of family members– their successes and their struggles.
Families bring us so much joy. Finding family has been a blessing in my life.
We each have a story. What is your story?
