Faith and Repentance
Our lesson came from the Joseph Fielding Smith Manual, chapter 5, discussing Faith and Repentance.
President Joseph Fielding Smith taught, “The forgiveness of sins comes through faith and sincere repentance.”1 He said that “it is necessary, not merely that we believe, but that we repent,” and he also taught that when we perform good works in faith until the end, we will “receive the reward of the faithful and a place in the Celestial kingdom of God.”

Pornography Conference
A letter was shared today in Relief Society inviting us to participate in the 12th annual Utah Coalition Against Pornography Conference.
"Pornography has devastating effects throughout society. You can encourage change for good by becoming aware of the risks of pornography, understanding the solutions, and learning to talk openly about the issue. The speakers are national leaders and local experts who will share insight into many aspects of this critical threat. Don't miss this opportunity to become more informed and prepare to help others and speak up about the harm of pornography. You are an essential part of the solution!" (selection from the website)
The conference will be held March 22nd, from 8:00 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. at the Little America Hotel.
