Consistent Modern Prophet Study

Last week in primary Sunday school, we talked about the definition of scriptures a revelation given from God for the purpose of building faith in salvation.

"And that from a child thou has known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 3:15

It's been really great reading both the ancient and modern scriptures on a daily basis. Lots of reinforcement of strong positive ideals.

New Calling

I was just released as the primary music leader. I'm still the ward choir director, but I have also been called as a primary teacher (Valiant 8) and Bear den leader. It's my first time in scouts so it's a little challenging to know how to approach everything. Especially since the person who had the calling before me didn't really do anything with it, and, to top it off, the requirements are all changing come May. So I have to make a brand new plan with leaders that don't really have a lot of knowledge about the whole matter and figure out how to reach how to all of these different boys. But I'm looking forward to the challenge. Plus it should be good preparation for when Benjamin gets into cub scouts in just a few years.
