Two hands up if you think General Conference was AMAZING! How lucky are we that we get to hear from the leaders of our church twice a year! Their talks always bring peace and reflection, and make us want to be better people. One of my favorite talks was Sister Emily Belle Freeman. She said this:
“Live up to your privileges.”
Learn how priesthood ordinances and covenant promises will allow God’s power to flow into your life with greater efficacy, working in and through you, empowering and equipping you to reach your full purpose and potential.
Carefully study and ponder the Aaronic and the Melchizedek Priesthood ordinances, the covenant promises we make with each, and the power of God we access through those ordinances.
Remember, it’s not only who officiates in the ordinance that matters; what the ordinance and your covenant promise unlock also deserves the focus of your attention.
Partaking of the bread and water is a weekly reminder of His power working in you to help you overcome. Wearing the garment of the holy priesthood is a daily reminder of the gift of His power working in you to help you become.
We all have access to the gift of God’s power.
Every time we partake of the sacrament.
Every time we cross the threshold of a temple.
This is the highlight of my Sabbath. This is why I cherish my temple recommend.”
There is absolute treasure in this talk! Go give it a listen or read it if you haven’t yet. You won’t regret it!

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!!
