If you would like to share how you are meeting these goals this summer, email me and I will place your comments in this column. What are you doing with your goals to include worship in your summer plans?  Is there a temple near any of your summer destinations?  Why not take the family to the temple grounds or the visitor’s center to feel the peace and joy that is found near the temple?  I felt so blessed to have an opportunity to recharge spiritually at the temple.  I hope you will have the opportunity too.   This Week’s Lesson:  Combined Relief Society & Priesthood Chapter 13: Priceless Blessings of the House of the Lord Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson  I’m not sure what the lesson was in Shanghai this week, but the lesson in San Jose was this beautiful lesson about the blessings of the temple.  "It is in the temples that we obtain God’s greatest blessings pertaining to eternal life.  Temples are really the gateways to heaven” 1. Temples are symbols of all we hold dear.  2. We need temple ordinances and covenants in order to enter the fullness of the priesthood and prepare to regain God’s presence. 3. Through temple ordinances and covenants, we can receive protection and God’s greatest blessings pertaining to eternal life.  4. We have the privilege of opening the doors of salvation to our ancestors. 5. Children and youth need to learn about the blessings that await them in the temple. 6. Increased temple attendance leads to increased personal revelation.  Read the Lesson 第13章：主的殿中無價的祝福 總會會長的教訓：泰福‧彭蓀, (2014), ⅹⅹ 「我們在聖殿中得到神給我們關乎永生最偉大的祝福。聖殿確實是通往天國的大門。」                            Scriptures Next Week’s Lesson:  Combined Relief Society & Priesthood Chapter 14: Marriage and Family—Ordained of God Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson “The family is one of God’s greatest fortresses against the evils of our day.  Help keep your family strong and close and worthy of our Father in Heaven’s blessings."

Our  Sunday church meetings in a two hour block with Sacrament meeting followed by a combined Priesthood and Relief Society Meeting and a small Primary until August.  We have new sisters moving in this summer.  Look out for them and welcome them.  Thought for the week:  We have the special opportunity to be instruments in His hands. We can be so in our marriages, in our families, with our friends, and with our fellowman. —Hugo E.
