LESSONS
Recap: On Sunday, David led a discussion about temptation. Everyone gets tempted, but we can overcome by listening to the Spirit and striving to keep the commandments as best we can. When we fall short and make mistakes, Christ is there to pick us up and help us be better.
Upcoming: Instead of a lesson, this week we prepare for our sacrament meeting presentation on the 31st.

This Week’s Spiritual Message
Remember the purposes of the Aaronic Priesthood as found in your Duty to God pamphlet:
• Become converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ and live its teachings.
• Serve faithfully in priesthood callings and fulfill the responsibilities of priesthood offices.
• Give meaningful service.
• Prepare and live worthily to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and temple ordinances.
• Prepare to serve an honorable full-time mission.
• Obtain as much education as possible.
• Prepare to become a worthy husband and father.
• Give proper respect to women, girls, and children.
Try to think about these purposes as you go through the week and as we prepare for our sacrament meeting presentation in 2 weeks.
