Our lesson this week was Chapter 32 - Tithes and Offerings. We talked about how some times it is hard to pay tithing but it will bring us increased faith and blessings when we pay an honest tithe. Stephen L. Richards said, "When one pays his tithing without enjoyment he is robbed of a part of the blessing. He must learn to give cheerfully, willingly and joyfully, and his gift will be blessed."

Next week's lesson is Chapter 33 - Missionary Work.
