November 2014

Note: My mom's ward selects their visiting teaching messages for May and November for them.  This month they chose something that wasn't even a conference talk.  So . . . good luck!  You're kind of on your own.  My visiting teaching companion and I decided to just each pick our favorite part of conference to talk about, and not have a gift to go with it.

Family & Friends Forever

Wherever you live, you have friends who are searching for the greater happiness you have found in living the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. . . .

As a covenant disciple of Jesus Christ, you are obligated to extend to others an opportunity to find increased happiness, especially to your friends and the members of your family. . . .

Christmastime turns our hearts to the Savior and to the joy His gospel has brought us. We show our gratitude to Him best as we offer that happiness to others. Gratitude is turned to joy as we offer names to missionaries and as we take the names of our ancestors to the temple. That evidence of our gratitude can make friends and families that endure forever.

-Henry B. Eyring

The gift is a pocket-sized Book of Mormon, either giftwrapped or wrapped with Christmas ribbon, ready for the recipient to give it as a Christmas gift.  Link to purchase pocket Book of Mormon
