It's a Wrap.... What will you do with it now?
August 12th - Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives by Pres. Nelson led by Julie Peterson
Think about what Revelations for the Church have impacted you...One that stands out and has greatly affected our ward and the church worldwide is the age change for missionaries. What a blessing revelation is in our lives. It is an act of revealing confirming truths.
Have you had any revelations lately pertaining to your own life? We can and will receive revelation. And it is a great comfort to know that no one can take away a witness born to your heart through revelation.
Remember the Lord wants to help us. Often he is trying to give us answers and direction, but we are just not recognizing it. Know that if we face obstacles while following revelation that does not meant the revelation is wrong. The road to following revelation is often not a smoothly paved road.
Scarlette and Kenzie each shared with us stories of revelation they received while choosing the colleges they will attend this fall. Scarlette felt the need to switch her intended college and Kenzie felt a pull to attend UVU. As they discussed with us their own unique experiences we learned that they took action in order to not only receive the revelation itself, but also to act upon it.
Actions like - praying, seeking, asking, growing, hearing, fasting and increasing spiritually are all vital when seeking revelation in our lives.
So how can we seek greater experiences of revelation in our own lives? Find a quiet place and humble yourself before God. And consider these words from our dear Prophet:
"Nothing opens the heavens quite like the combination of increased purity, exact obedience, earnest seeking, daily feasting on the words of Christ in the Book of Mormon, and regular time committed to temple and family history work"
Council Action for August
Everyone: Find one moment each week this month to be still.

When things feel overwhelming take deep breathes. Take a step back if things aren't going as planned and be okay with changing the plan.
Everyone: Decide what kind of minister you are going to be.
Personalize it: Where do you need to improve? Pray for those you minister to? Listen for revelation in what your sister(s) need? Act on promptings? Get to know your sister(s) better? etc.

August Ministering Principles: Building Meaningful Relationships
“I truly believe there is no significant change without significant relationships. And for our acts of service to be transformational in the lives of others, they must be “rooted in the sincere desire to heal and listen and cooperate and respect.” Sharon Eubank, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency
Have you completed the reading of Teaching in the Savior's Way? The stake has asked each sister to read this. You can read it in the Gospel Library app or if you would like a hard copy, contact a member of the Sunday School Presidency.
"A new name, new flexibility, and fewer reports will not make one ounce of difference in our service unless we see this as an invitation to care for one another in a bold new holier way."
