Since I've been in a class about how to use Preach My Gospel in our personal, family, and companion study I have gotten really excited about what's in this book. The kids started school yesterday so we started our morning routine and so far it's been going really well. As a way of keeping track of what we are studying I thought I'd start adding to this blog everyday. So here's what we did today:
We started yesterday on pg. 1 and talked about what eternal life is and why the gospel brings us comfort and peace... all of this came from the first paragraph on pg. 1 of Preach My Gospel. We read the scripture D&C 59:23.
REVIEW FROM YESTERDAY:
This morning I started by asking what eternal life means. Charlie and Katie understood that it means living again with Heavenly Father. We talked about how eternal life means achieving the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom and not only living with HF for eternity but also becoming a King and a Queen. I mentioned that is why it is so important that we study and learn all we can on earth so we will be the most prepared for what we will do in the eternities.
We read: (from the second paragraph on pg. 1)
"The gospel of Jesus Christ as restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith will bless their families, meet their spiritual needs, and help them fulfill their deepest desires. Although they may not know why, they need relief from feelings of guilt that come from mistakes and sins. They need to experience the joy of redemption by receiving forvieness of their sins and enjoying the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Q: What do we know about that we can do when we have made a mistake? (Repent)
How do we know about repentance? (from the scriptures, church leaders, the gospel)
When you have done something wrong or made a mistake and you feel bad about it, what can you do to feel better? (repent)
What if you didn't know about the gospel and you made mistakes, then you felt bad, but you didn't know about repentance and that you can actually make things better?
This is why we want people to know about the gospel, we want people to know that their is help. That the Savior paid the price for everyone and if understand that and know the steps to repentance we can feel so much better.
We then talked about the steps to repentance...
Step 1 : Realize that you have made a bad choice.
Step 2 : Try to make it right (with the person that you have done it to).
If you steal something you need to take it back and tell someone what you have
done. If you hurt somebody's feelings you need to tell them you are sorry.
Step 3 : Pray and ask HF for forgiveness.
During our family prayer I asked Charlie to ask HF to help us think about repentance today and try to repent for something that we have recently done wrong.
This seems long...but really only took about 7-8 minutes.
