The links are below and it has been shown many times to us on how to access the Curriculum on the Church's Website and it is also available through the Gospel Library app on your phones. So you can prepare for Sunday anywhere that you are.
There are 5 - 7 Learning Outlines for this month depending on which class you are preparing for. We only have 4 weeks so decide as a class on what you will be teaching and learning about each week. Come prepared to share your thoughts, experiences, and testimonies of Ancient and Modern-day Prophets and Revelation. There are no "who's turn" with this curriculum. It is everyone's turn, each week to come ready to teach.
May - Prophets and Revelation
We are 1/3 of our way through the year. I hope all is well with you and each of your families. If you have questions or concerns, please let one of us know.

I decided to re-post all the links for this month even though they are still on the Group's page from last year. I don't know how many actually use the Google group or just the email that gets sent. Here are the links to this month's topic with each organization's 'Learning Outlines.' Refer to the below links often throughout the month.
Here are the videos for May. I also included the links for General Conference and Conference 'Highlights.' The videos can be used in your study and lessons. Let me know if you need help with showing any of them. The videos will also appear in each applicable outline:
Here are a few links to May's New Era and applicable Curriculum materials. As expected, a lot of the New Era relates to Conference and this month's topic.

I have thought a lot about the closing thought for May, "Prophets and Revelation." I wanted to be very sensitive to this, but I wanted to focus on Personal Revelation. My intent is not to instill guilt, to say this would have prevented, or to focus on me. My intent is to hopefully learn those hard lessons as we go through life, so here we go.
We need to follow the promptings and recognize the needs of others as we fulfill our responsibilities in our callings, as members of the Church, and especially as followers of Jesus Christ. When we feel like we should do something or see a need, don't wait or put it on your to-do list. Do it now! The last conversation I had with Amber Shepard was when we were talking about planning a family night at their house for Cinco de Mayo to eat, have the kids play, and make salsa. Amber loved salsa and was the recipient of many jars, from Shari, of various recipes that I would make. We had talked a few times in the winter about teaching her and Justin how to make the recipe, but was waiting until the tomatoes were better towards the summer. One of the last things we said was, "we keep talking about planning this, but we just need to do it." It was planned but then later cancelled due to schedule.
So, don't just talk about what we need or should do, do it now and not later! Promptings are not to be put on a to-do list, to be ignored, or second guessed. We are here to be instruments in the hands of God. We are called in various ways to love, serve, share, and help our Heavenly Father's children. When we pray for individuals to be blessed, I feel at times that He answers by asking us or prompting us, and at times in my experience that still small voice becomes like a yelling whisper, to bless whomever with what He has given us.
Here is a video that when I watched it, reminded me of a few times in my life when I received promptings and didn't act upon them. We are not perfect but we need to be more "in tune" and be trusted by our Heavenly Father with Him knowing that we will listen and act, when asked. Preparation of Thomas S. Monson: Always Follow the Promptings of the Spirit
There are so many of us that have expressed concern and offered to help in some way. One last thought is one good way to help and honor Amber is to help others. To donate blood as she was determined to, to help the homeless as she did, to love our children and be there for them as she was with hers. Below are some links that, with Justin's permission, I am sharing to help us have a better understanding of Depression and Suicide.
