As we enter the month of September, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life—our responsibilities, challenges, and the constant noise around us. Yet, in the midst of it all, there is a powerful invitation: Be still and know that I am God. This simple yet profound reminder calls us to pause, reflect, and trust in God's presence. It is in stillness that we find peace, guidance, and the reassurance that we are never alone, no matter how overwhelming life may seem. Let’s take this time to quiet our hearts and remember who is truly in control.
Elder Bednar tells us in his talk titled “Be Still and Know I Am God” that being still doesn’t just entail being quiet and not moving. He says this:
“ I believe the Lord’s admonition to “be still” entails much more than simply not talking or not moving. Perhaps His intent is for us to remember and rely upon Him and His power “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in.” Thus, “be still” may be a way of reminding us to focus upon the Savior unfailingly as the ultimate source of the spiritual stillness of the soul that strengthens us to do and overcome hard things.
In our come follow me lesson this week there is so many examples of when the people REMEMBER Christ but also examples of when the people forget Christ and become prideful. We can skip the pride cycle by simply REMEMBERING our Savior in all things!

TEMPLE DAYS
Starting this year we will have two temple days a month! The days and times will change just so we can accommodate everyone’s schedules We hope each of you will be able to join us on one of those days. If it’s a sealing or initiatory day then we ask you to reserve that time for yourself. If you don’t know how to reserve a time then please call Sis. Cash at 505-803-0820 and she will walk you through how to do it. If it’s an endowment day then you can just go without reserving because they rarely fill up. We hope to see you there!!
