Sacrament Meeting:
As you do Family History work, it can be very rewarding; you learn more about what your heritage is, as well as more about where you come from.
The lord is there to help us find our ancestors, He wants us all to be able to return to live with Him again.
Patience isn't enduring, it is enduring well.
The most important thing about marriage is to marry at the right place, to the right person, by the right authority.
Confusion is from Satan, Heavenly Father's plan is simple and organized.
Being impatient is also being selfish...
     Pray for service opportunities to put your focus elsewhere.
You don't have control over everything, but Heavenly Father does.
It's okay to be wary, we will eventually understand why things take longer for you than for others.
Constantly work on yourself, if your scripture study doesn't seem to be helping, then you need to change it. If your prayers aren't being answered then you need to change the way you are praying.
There are good choices to be made, there are better choices to be made, and there are the best choices to make.
Do the best thing for yourself!
Alma 34:32-
      "For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors."

Sunday School:
Ordinances aren't a checklist, it's about changing ourselves.
Private victory triumphs over public victory.
1 Corinthians 11:20-25-
    "When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
      For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
     What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praises you not.
     For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
     And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
     After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."
What is special about the sacrament?
It is like a token of Christ
If you take it seriously, you will not deviate easily from your path.
It is all about remembering Christ!
We have to renew our covenants to gain the presence of the spirit.
It is just like being re-baptized every week!
It is personal; it is between you and the Lord. He will heal us!
You are literally taking upon you something of Christ.
When the Spirit is with you, you are more yourself, you can be more confident.
Repentance is key in this as well, you have to cleanse yourself!
Change of heart comes through repetition and consistency. Take that step of faith!
The Sacrament is how we put the Atonement into place or action!
