A Message of Sisterhood by Karen AdamsWe are having another influx of new sisters moving into our ward. We have the great opportunity to find new

friends, and new sisters. What a blessing to us! I know that we often think people will happily jump right into

a new calling, become busy with their life, but from my own experience, moving is a difficult, life changing event

for most people.

I have been blessed throughout my life with Christ-like friends. Many people have blessed our family in all the

wards we have lived in. Their faith and commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ, their service, their wise and

gentle instruction have enriched our lives. Some of my friends are very different from me. We disagree about things, and we

can even irritate each other. But friendship allows for differencesin fact, it embraces them. I love the exposure I have had in

wards made up of people from a variety of backgrounds, ages, and ethnic origins.

I'm experiencing right now a special dimension of sisterhood and friendship as I serve with Sisters Lewis, Gold and Eldridge.

These are good women. How I love them. They know my faith and testimony, but they also know my insecurities and wor-

ries. They know that when I'm tired, they understand when I am worried about one of you. I'm not my best self. But I feel

their love and patience, and I know they still think the best of me. Their testimonies and prayers bolster me. Their laughter

brightens my day. In every sense, we are sisters.

Let us take the opportunity to meet, greet, and integrate these new sisters and their families, as they are in the ward each

week, and lets try to go find the sisters that are here, who do not attend church with us yet. We have a family and those sis-ters need to be invited, with love, to join it.

Visiting Teaching Message

Seeking and Receiving Personal Revelation, Ensign, April 2010

Teach these scriptures and quotations or, if needed, another principle that will bless the

sisters you visit. Bear testimony of the doctrine. Invite those you visit to share what they have felt and learned.

How Can I Seek Personal Revelation?

"We prepare to receive personal revelation as the prophets do, by studying the scriptures, fasting, praying, and building faith. Faith

is the key. Remember Joseph's preparation for the First Vision:

" 'If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God. . . .

" 'But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.' "1

Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

"Prayer isyourpersonal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil.

"But that is not all. To one who thought that revelation would flow without effort, the Lord said:

" 'You have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.

" 'But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will

cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.' "2

President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

How Can I Receive Personal Revelation?

"In its more familiar forms, revelation or inspiration comes by means of words or thoughts communicated to the mind (see Enos

1:10;D&C 8:23), by sudden enlightenment (see D&C 6:1415), by positive or negative feelings about proposed courses of action,

or even by inspiring performances, as in the performing arts. As President Boyd K. Packer, . . . President of the Quorum of the

Twelve Apostles, has stated, 'Inspiration comes more as a feeling than as a sound.' "3

Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

"The temple is a house of learning. Much of the instruction imparted in the temple is symbolic and learned by the Spirit. This

means we are taught from on high. . . . Our understanding of the meaning of the ordinances and covenants will increase as we re-

turn to the temple often with the attitude of learning and contemplating the eternal truths taught. . . . Let us enjoy the spiritual

strength and the revelation we receive as we attend the temple regularly." 4

Silvia H. Allred, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency.
